What’s with the rear engine John Deere?

What’s with the rear engine John Deere?

Bought it for $50 a year ago. Got it running. The mower deck was best up badly. Took the deck off and threw on huge rear tires I had laying around to gain a couple mph, does good wheelies. After a week the Briggs randomly lost compression while running. So it sat for a few months until I replaced it with a tecumseh that runs. It does run and drive. I have to do the electrical and throttle the spring or summer.

The farm in Merrill offered me a very significant raise if I come back. So my plan is to live in Merrill for the most part, but come up north one week a month for a while to help my parents with the house building/property maintenance, and to work for the neighbor and my other jobs a bit. My mom's plan is the exact opposite tho lol.

That's a factory GM option here in the rust belt.
Might do a diy wooden or metal bumper when I replace the hitch...

I bought it like that . The tailgate is a great conversation peice, makes for some good laughs and conversations both online and in real life. I do tow with it.
