pics taken while it was wet. has working brake lights, blue neon ground effects, straightpipe, and nice headlights with a neon-wire laced shift knob.
old john deere 70 series lawn tractor, built to be a local parade toy.

one taillight needs re-attached.

hahah mowers are always fun to mess around on. I have a 20hp vtwin crafsman mower that has 27x10x12'' super swamper vampires on the back and a 5'' rear pulley goes about anywhere and tops out at 20 or so in 6th gear. We made a lift kit for it that made it ridiculous high, but couldnt figure out how to make the steering work on it.

Ive got a JohnDeere 68 thats been tweeked a little bit :D . Has a cr80 engine in a fully boxed and crossmembered frame. Top speed is 55mph. It is in desprate need of body work but with all the shredding I do on it, it wouldnt look good for long lol.

About 10 yrs ago, I had a Craftsman 8HP ride mower I took the deck off of. It still had the stock friction drive trans(or whatever you call it-it was ALWAYS slipping). I put on a 5spd trans from Toro and put some bigger/smaller pullies on the engine and trans. I removed the governor and put some bigger front tires on it and BAM! Instant poor boy play toy! It had some insane torque and would do all of 16 mph! One rainy day, I was rippin' it up on the muddy clay roads non stop WFO. The block split at the back and I never bothered with it after that. I wish I had pics... :w00t:

I picked up a Mastercraft lawn tractor that has a 12.5 hp Briggs and Stratton motor today for free. It needs new tires and a paint job. Give me some ideas
