I'm a big fan of the oddball mowers. Anybody can own a Cadet, Wheelhorse, Deere, Bolens, Sears, etc., but those oddballs are a lot harder to find in decent shape as well as find info and spare parts on. I've seen a few different ones that looked in reasonable shape come up on CL in the last couple years, would love to have bought them but honestly do not have the time or space. The worst part I see about the oddballs, is you can easily sink more money into it than they would sell for to a collector.
Dad worked on one similar to the one you are looking at about 20 years ago, pretty certain it was a Homelite painted blue and white. Seems you just pulled a couple pins and the entire body lifted off the frame for servicing.
