This is a very interesting mower. It has three wheels. It has front wheel drive, 2 speeds, reverse (turning the steering wheel all the way around to go back). The deck has 3 small blades on it. Who made it? I have know clue!

It might be a swisher. I have seen a couple before at tractor shows.

ya know, if you can mount the tank under the seat, get some sort of fuel pump, you could mount another seat or box and use it at shows. Elon

It is a Swisher. I used to own one... they're a blast to drive ON LEVEL GROUND. However, they're as stable as tricycle... As I recall, the gas tank should be under the seat.

Gas tank surrounded engine on mine. I had the older one yet with verical steering post. My wife always mowed the lawn then.

Its called a Swisher Ride King. Definitely not a racer-

I've got one of these sitting in my backyard. It's called a Big Mow. At least that's what they were sold around here as. Mine also has the gas tank as part of the flywheel housing (Tecumseh motor), as well as the vertical steering shaft. The upper frame rails are also a bit different designed, however the hood and deck are pretty much identical. Mine will likely wind up at the scrapyard someday....

Maybe they had a few varying models like Huffy and Rugg. I know when I did research on those only a few things varied to change the name. At least its a Swisher. I will try and find a pic of the one I had a while back. I never liked it -

With that gas tank location, maybe it's actually a Ford Pinto tractor!;):D
