Look again please.  The above eBay link you posted does not work for
me.  However, I was able to find a similar vintage Toro lawnmower.

Such mowers are sometimes collectors items and sell for rather
astronomical prices.  This one is $900.  My guess(tm) is what you
found was actually a printed advertisement.  Something like these:
