This thing that definitely has a reason to exist and they will most definitely find somebody to sell it to showed up on the local Facebook Marketplace yesterday...the finest of redneck engineering...

You can be certain that only the jankiest home-made construction methods were used...those tubes holding everything up don’t look all that sturdy to me...

WHY DOES ‘The Intimidator’ (...who is even intimidated by this thing...?) EVEN EXIST...

motorised kart for a disabled person to get around in winter perhaps?

Not sure how much people would appreciate the sound of a Briggs and Stratton through dual peashooter exhausts inside a shop. :P

I expect mounting this thing would be prohibitively difficult for even the able-bodied.

It is not clear to me how the steering works on that rig...

I see some sort of shaft with a U-joint going down to the front wheels, but I don’t get how the front steering rack works unless it’s somehow REALLY compact and built into that box bar...?

If it were that compact, it would deflect too easily. I think the entire box section rotates. Either way, something very home brewed, and likely a disaster rivaling, well, pretty much anything else on there.

I mean I am impressed at the amount of effort they put in. The added disc brakes to the rear because there was no way the original brake w would’ve stopped it. I think the shocks in the front see mainly for looks but would also possibly make the exaggerated movements from the higher center of gravity less jarring. Also this exists

How much did they want? That things a freak show but I kinda like it and hate it at the same time. Not sure how to feel but a price would help that decision

Sounds about right! :P

But the difference is, the Metro John Deere would still be massively more useful and doesn’t look incredibly stupid.

No price listed!

This was all that was in the description:
“ I Have a guality built lifted lawn tractor for trade. Looking to trade for a working tractor ( not lawn or garden ) any interests.”

I’m guessing it’s really well built considering they didn’t even spell quality right!

So slightly less power than it originally had?

Intimidator indeed.
