Coolest thing I will see today!
Oh hell, like I needed another project.
[sigh!] Why do you show us things like this. I was perfectly fine with a push mower before this....
Put this on the gun mount for added hilarity.

Vermin problems will be gone forever.

Because! Duh.
For better or worse, my postage stamp yard is barely large enough for a push-mower, so I couldn't justify a riding mower no matter how hard I try. 
Pricey for some laughs. Wonder what I could piece together on the cheap...

Holy E36 M#!!!!! 1300$
When I built the mini Jeep for my kids (see below), I wanted to drop the body on a lawn tractor frame. And that body didn't cost 1/10 of that amount to built.
If people are willing to spend that kind of crazy money, maybe I should sell a kit or plans or something.
Didnt early CJs have a PTO option? Just make a huge mower from an actual jeep.
You can order paper plans to build wooden Land Rover's and Jeeps in the UK, approx.$70USD

Screw a kid, I freakin WANT that draped over a 15hp go kart frame.
A flat fender jeep as a mower is apropos, considering that post-war jeeps were initially marketed for agricultural use.
My mower is a 42" cut, 17 horse riding mower that is already a body-missing shambles. I'm only one sheet of plywood and a weekend away.
Maybe a couple weekends. And some tires. And olive drab paint.
Heck, it's already got a fabbed brush guard

Yup, I had one.
Early CJ's had all kinds of options including the PTO. They had a three point hydraulic lift for land plows and assorted equipment. They even had guards for the drive shafts so that the hay wouldn't wrap around while towing the hay rake. Then the had the fire truck.
