  1. Would make a great moon rover! To bad we don't have anything that flies there anymore. I guess you could call on the Commies (Russians) to take you up there.

    Those are all some very cool mowers, But I think this one is my fav, built buy "Radical Ray Erickson" of raytown Missouri. One of the coolest hotrodders I have ever met!. It is powered by a crosley motor and was in several big Shows in the 60's and 70's

    I just found a running Flymo at a garage sale. It even had a Flymo umbrella with it! Was $25 too much to pay? :D

    I remember those kind of starters, you flip the handle over, wind up the spring, then flip the lever on top of the housing, and it cranks the engine.

    Flat black with red wheels, you'd have one of both worlds.

    I agree you should hot rod this one since you made a custom out of the last one. Bore and stroke the motor, find a mini blower, big & littles, replace tank with Moon tank, etc., etc. Make a great pair.
