Toro Power Handle

[thom]

Toro introduced their line or Power Handle products in 1955. Buyers got the engine and handle and chose the attachments they wanted. The 1955 catalog showed a reel mower, rotary mower, tiller, and snow thrower. I have two power units, a Snow Hound, and a dethathcer.
I found the first one, with snow thrower in a scrap yard for $15 and the second one, with dethathcer at a flea market for $8. I've looked for more attachments ever since.
Anybody else got Toro Power Handles?

I've got a Power Handle, somewhere. Picked it up at Mt Pleasant Old Threshers years ago thinking I'd find some attachments for it but never did.

Hi Tom… I am an avid collector of Power Handle Implements and I am very interested in the dethather… do you still have it and is it a Toro made tool or is it homemade?

Are these similar to the David Bradley’s

My son dragged this into my shed a couple of years ago. I finally pulled it out !
It's a Toro, with a motor and attachments. Any ideas, never seen one and I can't seem to found it .

That is a Toro power handle and looks like most of the implements. The base of the handle should fit them with a quick connect. The were desinged so one source of power worked everything.
