Anyone know anything about this Jacobsen rear engine mower? Model? Name? Year?

[ThatMowerGuy]

So I just bought this garage find thing..... I thought it looked really neat, appears to be built like a Snapper. From looking underneath it has a friction disc drive. Can稚 say I致e ever seen one exactly like it. It痴 in great shape for its age. Guy said it had probably been stored away buried in stuff since 1979. He bought the house it was in and said that was when the husband passed. His wife lived until a few weeks ago. Pictures are from the post after it was unburied. I have no idea what model this is because it doesn稚 say anything on it except Jacobsen... serial tag is pictured. Any help would be appreciated, I have a feeling I知 not going to find much about it or many parts for it.

Super neat mower! Sure looks a lot like Snapper, but the drive system I'm sure is of their own design. I did find a site with some parts though. You might check with them, providing them with the S/N:
Jacobsen Lawn Mower Parts - price comparison - discount99.us

Good luck with this old treasure.

Looks like an old Toro to me with the Jacobsen name on the front.

I believe its late 60's to early 1970's RMX model 8 HP either 28" or 30" cut? We had a similar John Deere rear engine rider in 1968 timeframe a big step up from the push mower on the farm - it was a welcome change for 2 ac of lawn.
