Anyone here ever seen one of these before? This is a first for me as at first glance I thought it was a homebuilt. I saw this on Ebay as item #7525635209. Not much offered in the way of operator comfort on this.

No can't say that I have ever seen one of these things and Nova Scotia has had some weird things lurking in the shadows.

I did some searching for anybody out there that wants to know more about this machine and this is what I came up with.

WOW! Sherri, that was some great background info you got! And it looks like Sears was serious about setting these up for serious gardeners, small vegetable farmers, etc. A very complete list of attachments that allowed this machine to do almost anything apparently, as long as you didn't mind tipping over.

Dave,

I was wondering the same thing, "What is this used for?", and got some really good info on the links that Miss Snowshoveler posted. Apparently David Bradley made these for Sears to sell to small vegetable farmers and serious gardeners. A full range of attachments was offered to allow these tractors to do almost anything.

I was thinking more in terms of removing the engine and having a great soap box derby racer.

Depending on the what kind of bumps you plan to go over, a back rest would be needed.
