That’s a good one! I’m and AC fan, having farmed exclusively with them, but I’ve never seen one like this.

Interesting... Are those front wheels cog driven? Picture is nice, but that tractor design was destined to go nowhere and I’m wondering about the purpose of that drop down bracket in front of the driver, maybe for attaching tilling equipment or whatever else? 😳

Yep, gear driven, if you look at the 2 o-clock position inside the wheel, you can see the drive cog. I'm with you on the drop down bracket, there must be some attachments for that.
What was really interesting was the steering. The steering wheel turned a gear that allowed the rear half to swivel and thus, allowing the machine to turn.

I didn’t notice the steering pivot point! So, where both front wheels always at a constant speed? Could the driver brake each separately? Is that a tongue under the driver’s seat? Time to go looking for more info on this beast.

Would love to see it actually doing some work. The YouTube video clears up the bracket purpose. Well, maybe...
