This doesn’t run, but is a pretty complete example of a mower. I’m not sure how many had the “flail mower” attachment? Maybe that was common?

1975 Odd Jeep Riverside, WA $1000

• CATEGORIES: Other 4x4s • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This odd thing includes an original sticker indicating it was sold by Sahlberg Equipment out of the Seattle area. At first I thought it was some kind of Hi-Way mower?

Roger Martin shared the news that a Roof Palomino group exists on Facebook. Given their rarity, I wouldn’t have guess that.
