Danon Dizon posted up this picture on Facebook. I stole it and am posting it here. Just out of curiosity anyone know what this contraption is in the back of this GP? He didn't know either.
Anyone know what is in the back of this GP?

Interesting Ben. That's not what I would have guessed. With those lever looking things poking up I thought it was a winch for lifting something. I figured someone would know what it was

Danny,
Great photo. I have not seen this before today. Looks to be "colorized" and appears to be a series I. Can you make out the hood W # ??

Levers should control reel speed, direction and braking.
Would be unique if it had a PTO, but likely had a pony drive motor you just can't see.

Brad looks like 2017884 to me, but I wouldn't bet on it. Danon puts lots of interesting pics up on his Facebook GP/GPA page. Just couldn't figure out what that was in the back. Figured I'd ask around.
W Winget that's interesting too. Seems like a tight fit for anything in the back of the GP.
