Yazoo S-26 High Wheel Mower awakens!

A look back for nostalgia…

My guess is that is from the 1960’s.

My Troy Bilt version had an 7 hp Briggs, about double the hp of most other walk behind lawn mowers of that era, and the optional front swivel wheels that gave it nearly zero turn ease of turning on lawns. It had the same type of wheel drive mechanism as the Yazoo. The Bachtold uses a different wheel drive.

Been about 20 years since I had that mower. My recollection is it had a safety lever that had to be held for the mower blade to operate with a band brake on the mower spindle.
