This is a local auction find I picked up last week.I think it is a Jacobsen as it has orange paint under the green.The deck has mounts for a front catcher.No tags,nothing on the mower or frame.I browsed a Jacobsen website and I think this unit is similar to an estate mower with the grass/brush catching brackets on the deck.This unit probably had a sulky trailer by looking at the low slung handle setup & a hitch at the back of the frame.It has an AKNS Wisconsin engine.Called Wisconsin Motors & they said they didn't know about this model.Ran the serial # thru Wisconsin Motors website & it is a January 1952 motor w/no model designation.I started on it yesterday by cleaning the sediment bowl, plug,adding a boot to the magneto wire and working on the Tillotson glass sediment bowl & the needle valve shaft which was bent.I managed to straighten the needle valve shaft carefully if you can imagine that.The WICO mag is hot one as we spun the crank and it about knocked me over when I was holding the plug(the hands on approach let's you know if there is spark).Does anyone out there know about this AKNS engine with 2 7/8"" stroke and 2 3/4" bore? hp rating? Mower Name?
