Probably a home made weeder or a strawberry picker for a large gardener. Looks as if one would steer with his feet leaving both hands free. ggp
 
My first thought was a machine home made to pick asparagus. A person wouldn't have to stoop over when picking.
 
It is a tator bug harvester. It is just missing the seat pan and old coffee can. Operator simply moves along between the tator rows and knocks the bugs in the can. Very easy for the operator to get down and close to the bugs, without bending over and allows operator to see under the leaves also, so non are missed.

What you have there is a tobbaco primer, or could be used to harvest vegatables. I had one a few years ago and sold it. The people I bought it from used it to harvest their peppers.
The one I had was built in Hobart, Indiana by the National company. I see it has a tag, what does the tag say? The reason it was called a tobacco primer was in the south where they harvested the leaves of tobacco off the plants in the field they drove between the rows and stripped the leaves off and put them in a basket that sat in front. You steered it with your feet, it had a very slow gear. There is supposed to be a shield on the back that covered the engine and held extra baskets. When I owned mine I took it to some shows and most people didn't know what it was, except the people from the southern states.
 
It is one of those things for getting the older and the larger spectators around tractor shows....They can get right down and see if you have missed painting a bit!!!!!
