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. Bolens type number is 12BB01. 5" X 12" tires, variable drive sheave, and a 1 1/2 or 2 horse engine with 6-1 gear reduction. I've got several of them in Bolens and Wizard brand names. The Wizards have Tecumseh or Clinton engines - I forget - I'd have to go to the barn to look.
A few years ago I was driving through West Point, New York during "junk day" and found two, brand-new old-stock Wizard walk-behind tractors thrown out in the junk. Also in the pile was a bunch of new-old-stock attachments including front mower, snowblower, culitvators, sickle-bar, and snow blade. I could of cried - since I was in my car, not my truck. 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.
