umm...

push about mowers don't have power going to the wheels.

hence why you PUSH them.

so you'd need to completely create some sort of drivetrain to the wheels.

why not just get a riding mower? a lawn tractor or something to that effect.

Just take the engine out and build a go-cart. Why make waste your time building a push lawn mower that can do burnouts? It will just throw pieces of the ground all over your legs.

Re: burnout mower?

I'm waiting to see an article in the newspaper about a boy who sliced off his legs while trying to do burnouts as he was standing behind a push lawnmower.
