    pretty big risk of addiction, if you are weak and you find one of these, just walk away.

    This thing is loud, with nothing more than a strait pipe going into the deck it sounded like I was mowing with a chainsaw!!!

    That thing is so cool. I bet it even comes with warp drive.

    Great job!

    How long before somebody walks up and tells you that they've got one "Just like it" at home? LOL!

    I have an old 3 wheeled "truckster" thing that I tried to identify for a couple of years. The guy I bought it from thought it was a cushman. I knew right away it wasn't. I found a few that were similar kits for farm use. I went to a tractor swap meet this spring, and while looking through some literature a guy was selling...Bingo! there was a brochure with the exact 3 wheeler I have.
    So, next time there's a tractor show out on your side of the state, you may want to go and look at the literature!
     
  12. Wow, that is way cool. Just saw one at Wards but the salesman was trying to upgrade me to the rider:D

    Cool, take the headlights out of some of the old bicycles, and there you go, C batteries and all. I think the motor is a clinton indeed. Very Very Cool.

    That's one kick ass mower. I had a old Ford push mower had Ford embossed in the deck. My wife sold it in a garage sale. That still pisses me off.

    here it is with the deflector chute. I annealed a piece of 1/8 inch 5052 aluminum and hammered it into a wooden buck, sanded and polished.

    Actually, pretty impressive shots in general for using a Palm Pre. :D

    The Atomic Yard Master turned out way too kool. It looked like a lot of fun putting
    it together. Will it be on tour next year with the World of Wheels? Kan't wait to
    see it in person.

    Happy Trails,

    Mick
