Heavily modified Speedex HighBoy perhaps?? Tall spindles and frame way over the front tires holds that resemblance. 

Feel like I saw a Sears Economy once that looked a little like that too..

I can't see the tranny.. but if it's Ford Model A, as the steering looks to be.. I think early early Speedex may be a good guess.
Front tie rod and arm arent quite right though.

It has 16in rear wheels and a twin cylinder Wisconsin with crank start only.

Never seen a Handiman like that if they did make one. The shaft drive had the steering shaft right down the center of the hood, and the belt drive .. for one, was belt driven, and two, had the steering box right behind the front axle.

Some sort of Shaw or Speedex is my best guess. Or a mutt based off of them.

Could it be an Atomic Babe?

Oh you're onto something now.. I always forget that machine existed.. the name is so ridiculous. 

Yeah, see two on google that look very similar. The Wisconsin may just be a transplant, or some sort of upper class model?

That really cool! It's very close to the same. The rear differential is a bit different and the steering arms look to be a little different also.

" Bull Terrier "  Just not sure.

      Hello fellas. I bought this 211-3 tractor. I have no clue how this mower deck comes off. I need to fix some areas on the deck, as well as replace a clutch cable. I can't seem to find pictures of a complete deck for this model as it should be. Need help.

      Let's see your view from your workplace "window". I know some are driving truck,or tractor, work in shops/offices or outdoors. What is it that surrounds you during your work day?

      I've had some stuff laying around for a while now. I've had some ideas kicking around my head for a while as well.
      Well they met each other a few days ago.
      This is going to be a camp buggy of sorts. 
      Like any of my other builds I would appreciate any input anyone want to donate.
       
      The base is an 1982-88 Yamaha G1 golf cart.

      I started a thread a little while back "Something from Nothing". It has been upgraded to this thread because now I'm building something from something lol. I started with a new frame and strengthened the transaxle mount a bit.

      I've wanted to do this type of project for a while now. So here we go. The name was given by @wallfish. It will be called "The Yeti".  It will be painted and badged in a military theme. The front axle is in progress now.
