What? the coolest thing I bought at the cedar rapids swap was a lawn mower!!

Looks like my 56 lincoln premiere!cool

 

Cool! You found another one!

 

Isn't that a cylon from Battlestar Galactica?

 

TWO NOW ????? Somethings fishy here. You are making these at night in your garage and when everyone believes they are the most rare collectible thing in the world and you are the only one who has ever found them you will sell them right ????

 

I KNEW IT !!!!!! Do you have no shame ???? Now does everybody think its just a theory??? He He ! See you in Salina.

 

HAMBers must own a thousand deuce roadsters, dozens of really-were-there dry lakes cars, record setting tanks, 1940's sprint cars, World War One fighters, and Lord knows what else.
Then we find out that the coolest vehicle on the whole damn board is a LAWNMOWER.
It really is.
Reality is strange stuff.

 

cool.... I have seen one like it in another thread on this site... look around I bet you will find it...
If you need help hot rodding it, let me know... ha ha

 

Here's my interesting mower, unrestored.

Bloody HELL! Are you sure it's not a sod-cutter?

 

Under the "deck" there 2 belt driven hubs that have sickle mower blades bolted to them so I think its for just clipping the grass above ground.

That thing looks like it must be the long-lost Krupp Assault Lawnmower used by the Wehrmacht to clear paths for their tanks!

 

Very cool find!

 

I have to say,this is 1 of the best resto mods I have ever seen on a lawnmower.
I have been collecting and gathering old mowers and garden tractors for years and love the hobby.But none of my work has ever come remotely close to this quality.

Wow.
Now if I just could get this machine Id'd for a friend of mine I would be tickled pink.
It is a early 60's Clinton engine.Not a Faribanks or Craftsman machine.

 

Look what I just bought.....1964 Toro reel riding mower. I'm gonna just fix what's there, sharpen the rotors and mow! It runs great but the seat has a tear in ot and the hood has been 'repaired'.

 

"Attractive" Never thought of that being a quility to look for in a new push mower but I bet they never imagined one ever being as attractive as yours is now.

 

I don't know but it's awesome.

 

not mine but cool
on #bay for sale
if it was closer to me I would buy it
BONANZA Riding Lawn Mower
made by General Appliance Company in Omaha Nebraska
Paul

 

That's great that you were able to find one, Mark.

 

I gotta admit Marks lawn more freaked me out!



But Aaron's cars made a big impression on me. HRP

 

It may be tiny, but it has a huge cool factor!

 

You've inspired me to make a atomic themed mower mark. Chrome, polished aluminium and gold metal flake in order.

Thanks Mark, one of the "builds" that got me "hooked on hamb".

 

Old mowers are fun, cutting the grass is a chore but a cool mower makes it less of one.
