I've never owned or even driven one that I can recall but have seen a few. 
This one I took a picture of at a huge antique auction sale a few years ago, 
I don't even know if it was a "runner' or just something somebody was 
experimenting with to see what he could make out of spare parts.
Red engine in a green and yellow tractor!. Two seater .

 I have another picture of one that would fall more into the "car/truck" 
category that I will try and get posted somewhere.
The most elaborate and useful one I ever saw, unfortunately I never got a 
picture of . A farmer had converted an IH combine into a tractor. Re-located 
the engine and installed a front end loader on it. With the hydro drive it 
was one slick unit.
