    Here is a shot from the back. It was an old 1960s Hot Rod. It ran a bored out 283 backed by a 4 speed. Was an old Nebraska hot rod and spent the last 20+ years in Texas. New owner is gonna try to get it back to its original hot rod form. He will probably post pics and story on it later. lol:rolleyes:

    with all of these design ideas for the mower, I can believe nobody has photoshopped it. Id do it myself but i lack talent and technology. :eek:
     
  6. Pretty stylish for a mower with wheels on it. But if you really want to go the George Jetson route you need to find a Flymo.

  11. Mark,

    You always find the coolest stuff. You got a really great idea..my only input would be to include some kind of colored plexi glass knobs or viewer. You know..to show it off and such.

    What's that thing got about a 14" cut swath? That adds some exercise to the mowing.

    How about you replace the round deck with a molded plexiglass? A Bubble-Bottom? Then chrome the blade.

    I thought the Lewinski Company only made (leaf) "Blowers"...:eek: :D
     
  24. Once the blade gets dull, all it does is beat on anything sticking up you push it over anyways.

    Mark sent me photos and a video to my phone of the mower painted and him using it. I'm just learning how to save and send them. I was able to figure out how to post to UTube from my phone so I thought I'd share. I'll post the phtos of it painted as soon as I figure that out.:D Mark and I are like the blind leading the blind when it comes to these fancy phones.:D
