Look close at the mechanicals on this one. Also note that the operator's feet rest on little brackets welded to the mower deck. Pretty inventive.

homemade?

Here's a lawn tractor made fast -- at least it appears so.

Hay, who are you calling Honey? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Actually, I thought that Gravely one would make a good safety photo. What you don't see, is the tree right in front of the mower.

How 'bout running over one of the fiberglass fishing poles the kids left down by the pond and spraying that across those legs? Yeowch!!! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Funny, that after hanging around here for 4-5 years, you start thinking of all the safety stuff related to tractors, mowing, chain saws, etc.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

BTW, I am really enjoying the photos of strange tractors that you are coming up with. Good stuff! Thanks. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Here's a Lanz Bulldog. I like it's looks. Stubby and powerful looking, but with a attractive design on the cab top. Nifty.

Egon,
That's neat. They are basically the same, but completely different. Still love the shape of the sun shade.

This is a suspicious tractor. I have my doubts as to it's ability to do what the picture indicates.

This guy also has suspicious Cows.

All in all, I think there's something wrong, but I just can't quite put my finger on it.

Here's a lawn tractor conversion that looks pleasant to ride. I particularly like the hood ornament/warning light.

This one is a normal tractor with a lift attached to the back until you notice that the seat has been reversed -- makes a lot of sense, actually
