Words fail me on this mess

Why do I think drugs were part of the issue with this design.

"This is a mower/tractor I built a couple of months ago. It has a cub cadet 122 rear end and frame. And the extension frame is from a cub cadet 1225. The motor is a Wisconsin 4 cylinder engine that runs good. I had the mag rebuild and the starter rebuilt. Starts up good but may need a carb cleaning. Once it runs for a couple minutes it runs like a top. I had a drive shaft made for it and I did a lot of fabrication. Motor lowers and raises to tighten belt. Has a clutch mounted on the motor. Gas tank has a tiny hole at the top by the lid but it's not a big deal some just splashes out when you go over bumps. Both front axles steer together. Has 4 inch wheel spacers on the back, Ag tires and rear weights do not go with it. I have good turf tires I will put on the mower once sold. There is not another one like this anywhere"

Yep that is a pretty safe bet.

$2600 for that pos? It's hard to see on my phone but is the drive belt running in a figure 8?

On a positive note, I bet that tractor sounds good when it runs. Always liked the sound of those old V-4 Wisconsins running on a hay baler.

Sure looks like it is a figure 8, guess that's how he dealt with the rotation problem. Here's your sign.

Makes me wonder what he could do with a little guidance

He's got 4 steer wheels, I'd say there's plenty of guidance.

I too like the old Wisconsin engines, but that REALLY is the only thing I like about that old dog.

It reminds me a little bit of when Fred Flintstones car flips on its side at the drive-in when the girl puts the rack of ribs on it. Unless you never took it off the level ground, I don't know how you would ever keep it upright.

What ag tires? Those sure look like turfs to me!

We ALMOST put a 4 cylinder Deere power unit off a pull type combine onto a 100 Cadet roller. But then we came to our senses. Actually acquired a combine to put the engine on and the rest of the parts to build the Cadet.

I saw that tractor at a show in richwood Ohio. It's a pulling tractor for sure but I would never own it. Especially not for $2600.
