That is a Hesston "Front Runner". The design was later sold, IIRC, to Bush Hog, and then to TORO.

I have one with a mower like yours and a snowblower, with a steel cab. It's cute as heck, but kind of clumsy to drive and maneuver in tight spots with the articulated setup.

Even though they look like 4-WD, only the front wheels are powered.

And, GENE, no need to worry... they use the same Sundstrand hydro pump/motor as the old Cub Cadets, and many Deeres, coupled to the same DANA axle as Deere used on the 300, 312, 314, and 317. Good used hydros of this type regularly sell between $30.00 and $200.00 on ebay.
