I'd sell it on eBay if I were you. Also... If I were you, I'd post this somewhere else

What does your lawnmower have to do with car modeling?

This should be in off-topic.....

Nothing new. I have seen people race those stupid things.

This does not even compare with the motorized bar stool!

(A) I did an early-1970's Sears 2-cyl tractor once; didn't look as good as yours. At the automotive paint shop, I bought a "mis-mix" can of what I thought might be close to John Deere green, but it turned out more like Olive Drab. I never got it to run right, eventually it went to the dump.

(B) Current 14-year-old Lawn Boy push mower got freshened up a couple of years back. Now in dark metallic green, Edelbrock and Summit Racing stickers, and nice 8" metal ball-bearing wheels to replace the plastic OEM junk. Only 20" wide, but I can do 1/2 acre in under an hour -- if I can start after my neighbor but finish before him, is that a "yard kill"? :smoka:

Only if

1/ You dial in.

2/ You use the time saved to lean on the fence drinking beer and watching him finish.
