The "Wizard" brand of equipment sold by Western Auto was made by several companies including Gilson, Bolens Toro, MTD, AYP, and Murray. Sounds like you've got a Bolens Power-Ho Deluxe. Bolens company was tied to Gilson - FMC (Food Machinery & Chemical Co.) - Link Belt. Deluxe has the front face place whereas the special does not.

My wife and I managed to get one tractor half-way into the trunk and tied it in. I had to leave the rest behind - and I was 120 miles from home. What a shame, the rest got thrown out I guess.
