looks home made but kinda cool.

Yes it is a neat idea and cheaper than a gear box. It's on Facebook market place.

I have had a few similar to that but the upper tire turned a metal disc instead of another tire. The metal disc was below the deck and the
tire sat over an oval hole in the deck to make contact.

Seen a good many of those and they do work just fine as long as you keep the tires aired up

Tracy those were SIDE_WINDER, I sold a lot of them and most folks like them. They really gave no trouble, only drawback was early morning when things were wet sometimes they would slip. That one pictured looks like a homemade version.

I had an old mower that I scrapped because
I couldn't keep bearings in the gearbox.
That looks like an improvement to me

A few old amusement park rides were driven by tire on tire - usually around 12 or 13 inch tires.

Some Snapped mowers and many brands of snowblowers use a solid rubber tire driving on a steel disk for a transmission. The tire moves in and out across the disk for different speeds and across the center foe reverse speeds.

I have an older snowblower that has a ground drive
similar to that.

Isn't that system why in some parts they are called squealers?

Looks like a great system to me. Can't see a downside other than size of the drive system.

Ive seen a Sidewinder and a Woods with tire drive.
