Hi! Everybody. I make test today. Confortable Run very well sitting and with better visibility on standing up. Turn close 50 in. Dia. outside circle. Easy to balance with your body in Free or floating mode. Very easy to go on or down with no stopping. I can walk beside too. But on very bumpy or steppy ground when you turn very tight WATCH the handle bar. No problem with low or moderate hilly land. or low turn. I am very glad for this one wheel seat. I like walk behind for one hour or two but the third is long and ... in Hot summer. Oldmech

Now you need a ROPS (so you will have a place to mount lights ), a toolbox, drink holder, then you can enclose it with a cab or canopy, etc..

Really, good job. Looks comfortable.

Is that a Gravely mower or one that you have adapted? I don't believe I've ever seen one like that.

Hi! This one is a Gravely Model L 5 hp !952 with gears reduction.
I fix on a 10 hp Dek-diesel engine.
You can see on : Engine ideas thread on TBN
The 10 hp Dek-Diesel give impressive torque with less fuel no more 1-1.5 Liter hour. Bad side. Direct injection diesel engine are very NOISY But more I use More I like it. Thanks! Oldmech

Yep, I've read your threads on the engine and the seat, but I've never seen a mower DECK like that one. I was curious if you had adapted it, too.
