I like it. Any clue if it is homemade or commercially produced?

I bet that's ^^^a commercially produced mower. It has a label or tag on the side of the deck. Here's the first tractor I ever bought,A '46 2N after a facelift. I work it like a dog, and it looks like crap again now. Also the latest, a '47 Farmall M cotton harvester model with an early lp conversion. I needed this one like I need another hole in my head.:laugh: It'll be for sale/trade when I get it tuned a little.

Recently was in the market to upgrade my mower when I ran across this:
Heckendorn Industrial Mower

I had to go with a ZTR instead because of so many trees I have to mow around but I did offer the guy what I had left of the mower budget, thinking this would be awesome for the pasture and fun to ride, and he blew me off. It's got a 7' deck and looks cool to boot!

Thats real similar to the Swisher King Ride somebody posted earlier in this thread. Just missing the hood and seat.
Even has the same "step" label on the deck.

Here's one I just went through adjusting, greasing, clean and paint. It's a 60s or 70s Deutz D 30 06. It has a 30hp 2cylinder air cooled diesel engine. It still has 3 of the German Good Year tires.

Just finished this one today. It's a '48 8N with a rebuilt '47 9/2N engine and later sheet metal with the Ford logo. The sheetmetal is probably '50-52 or so. The front wheels are later model also.
