Another FrankenStone creation.

[lawrence stone]

From the bowels of my fleet I have created another monster.

It’s a 1991 – 48” recycler with a nearly new very low hour B&S 12hp IC.

The purpose for this machine is to be a large trimming mower on apartments, condos, or anywhere the discharge of clippings is a pedestrian safety issue.

Mr. Stone,

Where do you find all of these machines at?

[Richard Martin]

Uh...Shouldn't that be "FrankenX"? Or have you backed off of that?

[Kent Lawns]

What have you created?

That's an out-of-the box Toro machine that is no longer in production:

It cut poorly.
Dedicated mulcher allowed for no bagging/discharging.
The 3 blade design with the 10" center blade was a failure.

The machine is good only for consumer use.

So how many of these "old" walkbehinds do you own now? Why not upgrade to a ZTR? They are much more productive than a walkbehind.

[plow kid]

gonna put your 12" wide striping kit on that one too?

I was wondering the same thing. What mods. were made on that "creation"?

[Robert Doubrava]

Pretty good, Stone.

I like the outboard anti-scalp deck wheels.

Uh-Okay, isn't it a little underpowered. Good luck with your junkation (opps, I mean creation).

[Randy Scott]

I am curious as to what you actually "created" here. I know nothing about these mowers and wonder what you did to it.

It's actually parts from four different machines.

Did I say it cut as good as a 52?

Read my original message. This machine is to be used for a specific application.

A one time 10 years ago this deck hooked to a 16hp magnum traction unit was the only machine I had and I cut acres with it using a Toro deluxe sulky.

Your consumer use comment is all wet. This is a perfect machine to put some flunky behind for it is indestructible.

You can take a 10 lb hammer to the deck and not make a dent in it.

Nice looking machine, Ihave a 25 "Locke with a 14dr6 for power
