Wizzing away

I asked before and have looked as best I know for photos of a Wizard lawn mower like the one I have. I would like to see one for reference when I put mine into running condition. The best I can find is that it is late fifties to early sixties. This thing is the tiniest riding mower I have seen. The belly is about the size of a push mower. It almost looks like a kids toy.

I am going to try to clean and wirebrush everything and get it to run. It has good compression. It has not been used in over ten to fifteen years. I have had it about eight years. I just brought it home today from up at my dads house. If anyone knows anything about them or where to find them please let me know.

It looks kinda like a Mustang mower.
There was a discussion about these a little while back on mytractorforum.com
