In 1969 my grandfather bought a new Yazoo mower like this one. Dad used it until he passed five years ago. Yesterday I looked at it, it's in a shed and it was running fine when parked. On a charger I could crank it over, everything is fine and I think I'll get it. Question is it wouldn't take much to get it cleaned up, running again.
Now the questions:
It's sentimental, but I don't need it. I was thinking about a restoration, they would jerry-rig things I'd have to un-do. Cleaning, paint, seat, deck repairs, battery, blades, belts, carb rebuid, etc.
Are reproduction decals available? Are restored ones worth anything?
Thanks for any thoughts!20200615_164311.jpg

I used to have a Yazoo HPTOK which was the top of the line. It had 76" cut with a 22hp Kohler and Cessna hydro trans and hydraulic deck lift. Don't know about decals but parts are very scarce. Is yours belt drive or hydrostat?

It's belt drive. It's a lower end model than yours, It's either Kohler or Wisconsin motor, I'm thinking 8hp. Probably 48" cut. I'll know when it's here. From what I remember two speed (hi-low), forward-reverse.

42 inch w Briggs 2 speed transaxle. Pulled on manual lift to get traction. Uncle had larger cut w Wisconsin. Welding and manufacture pretty crude. No love at all for them. Best day was hauling it for scrap.
