None whatsoever . How do you steer it ?

 

[aczlan]

Pretty sure you reach around to the outside of the pump and move the lever by hand
I like the exhaust pipes sticking straight up as well. Nothing like a cylinder full of water to start your day.
Also, given that the seat looks dry and the rest of the machine looks wet, I would guess that the seat it sitting there.

Hay isn't that your neck of the woods?

Get it...Hay? Hard to believe it's for sale, you should reply back and ask why they are selling? Due to health reasons?

Just kidding, Fred

Very efficient. PTO/armrest. Save weight.
Surprised he didn't steal my idea for a muffler/seat.

 

[Leejohn]

Lost his A** so he is selling it.

To close for comfort

I'm glad he has a belt guard on the mower. Wouldn't want to get your toes caught.

Nice find. That is pretty special.

I have those same mufflers on the Onan on my Gravely rider. Gravely dealer wanted $186 for new muffler, Walmart wanted $4 each and I had the pipe laying around. I put a 90 in so they point back.

Pass, no where to put that required beer!

Gives new meaning to "costs an arm (left, in this case) and a leg"

 

[Mendonsy]

Send him an email. Maybe he'll answer it when he gets out of the hospital !!

You don't need one. This is most certainly one of those times where you are required to have a buddy nearby so you can say: "Hold my beer while I try this."

 

[Steppenwolfe]

There's a lawsuit...

 

[MossRoad]

Nice! :laughing:

On a serious note...
Is that a PTO clutch? I'd like to have that.

There is a lot of good parts on that contraption. It has potential.

 

[Luke'sScreenName]

Potential too... maim? (spelling?)

Yeah, he should have put the driveshaft in a tunnel between his legs and put the seat over it.

The seat is definitely just sitting there or he hasn't used it. The U-joint rubs the seat.
