Interesting Mower
 

Geez, never seen anything like this...

That's pretty cool.

Can you tell that it was designed before OSHA? No belt guards, open spinning blades, must be why I like it so much!

Here is another one

I was thinking about the first one from "Flint". Knowing the condition of their water there I was thinking maybe it was the result of a bad dream but with another one from a different location that may not be the case unless one escaped from Flint.

Same diamond tread on the front tires as the O's......Looks like a cross over between a go cart and lawn mower.:biggrin2:

Cub Cadet 123

Wild looking mower. Gravely has the manuals.

My bet it was used on a golf course.

Cuts on either side of machine but not the middle? :bigthink:

Maybe cuts grass on both sides of sidewalk:biggrin2:

The third mower pictured gets pulled behind it in the middle.

I haven't seen one of those for about 35 years. Used them to anywhere we couldn't get the gang mowers in. (tees, aprons, approaches). Scared the daylights out of me. Looks like its missing the lift for the rear reel.

I'm not going to lie. I really want this thing. That is cool! Figures though everything is so far from me

I drove a newer version (i.e. it had belt guards) around a golf course one summer almost 20 yrs ago. It's awesome on the slopes around bunkers, tees and greens. Everyone else hated using it because it was so slow. I loved it, mow a few minutes, pull under a tree and sit while people play through, repeat. And since everyone knew how slow it was, there was never any pressure to finish and move on to actual work. :biggrin2:

was the golf course standard for many years , I remember seeing them ( and the larger ones which looked like a tractor that went thru a bad neighborhood at night ) on our local golf course , they were going with a new fleet of toros , they sold the standards and they went quick ..good mower but you had to mow every day

Nice greens /golf course mower
I'd like to have it ,if closer


I've seen some weird looking ones at the small courses

I had a Jacobsen 24 estate the local course used for mowing and tamping greens , loved that little mower do not know what happened to it .. wish I had it today .

Not what I was searching for. Here's one in Salem, WI. Must be the OSHA model.

thats one of the big ones ... imagine that pulling a 6-8 gang set up behind it . basically a bare basic easy to get at anything that needs to be worked on . not like working on a new toro with the covers and buried engines , 9 million hoses and pumps .:bash2: that a garden Gnome complains about the tight fit .

My dad has one of those! That ones way nicer, his has been in the weeds for probably 20 years. Brings back some memories! :beerchug:
