In reply to Grtechguy:
Runway blower for a really small airport?
First glance I had it as one of those ride on concrete smoothers, but the front wheels don't look very removable.
It looks to have a small drive motor and a small mower (?) motor. Some sort or ride on finish mower for tight areas?
Very old school riding lawn mower.
Twin engined, fwd, front stearing mower. Mower deck hinged off rear axle and powered by its own Clinton engine
My Hovercraft is full of eels!
Freakin' genius is what it is!
Remove the deck, replace rear wheels with swivel castors and a large vertical shaft engine up front? what could go wrong?
Usually my Google-Fu is strong, but I got nothing on this one other than the Clinton engine on it.
Swisher Ride King is getting me images that are getting close...
This thing was "Here, hold my beer" or "Hey, watch this" back in the 50s.
I seem to recall seeing mowers like this when I was young kid in the mid/late seventies at the golf course that my Grand Dad hung out at. I think they were for mowing the greens because they are very light.
This is a Dille & Mcguire Turfmaster. The tires seem to be the same. That's all I got so far. Maybe it is a one-off commercial version?
Well, cross posting the pictures on an vintage tractor forum gave me a result of "Roberton Model 24 Rider"
Now to find out what it should look like.
It's not a good sign when your own photos are the ones that show up on the top of the google image search...
Something like this, maybe?
In reply to slantvaliant: That certainly is it indeed.
Guy will sell it for $37.50 out the door.
Anyone near Michigan want it? It's at Joes Salvage in Spring Lake. I have too many projects, but it is unique and kinda cool.
So, it's already got two motors. Easy button gokart version of the "sucker Corvette"?
