    Put a 289 HIPO under the hood. That'll make it rock out a little.

    I love old mowers. My dad tells me I'm the redneck son he never had. My dad has help me to restore a few old mowers I have, what can I say. I joke about my dad, but he's really my best friend, we do everything together. I know he really wanted a boy, but he still loves me anyway. (Sorry guys for all this dad butt kissing, but Christmas is around the corner.[:)]

    Here are a couple of mine.

    Actually it's not the hard Zulu. That's what I like about mowers, it's doesn't have to be perfect and you can do what ever you want. It' also not expensive. I'm sure Dabowman18 will agree. It's just fun and relaxing. It's just a matter of taking things apart, getting the rust off and painting it. Lawnmower engines are the easiest thing to work on too. But it doesn't to hurt to have a father that's a jack of all trades too. Sorry Dabowman18 if I hijack your thread. I'm a lawmower nut too.

    I don't think you will be doing much mowing though! There is no cutter on it!

    That makes it a tractor! [;)][:o)]
