    My new ride



    What were you expecting?? Don't knock it though, it almost has more HP than an eta and cost more than half the cars on the board :D

    I must be getting old when I get excited about buying a lawn mower :roll:

    26hp 50" cut with triple blades. Let the modding begin!!

        Not sure yet. May try out some alpinas, but I'm worried about weight affecting mowability and hate to end up with some like Dan's if I hit a stump so I'm leaning towards some SSR Comps.

        Thought about re-painting but don't want to mess with the engine compartment so I decided not to as to avoid the wrath of Jordan for not stipping it completely :D

          26hp is pretty rockin, I mowed all 4acres out here in Kansas yesterday, by the way the cup holders are worthless, it just shakes up your beer for you.

          My favorite mod I did was disconnect the seat switch, the one where you have to be on the seat for teh mower to run, cut that bitch.

            Ya I was already looking at that yesterday. Hell my old one would start in gear and take off without me with the blades spinning. The deck was system on this one is cool, just hook up your garden hose to the nozzle and turn on the blades and it flushes out all the grass from the bottom of the deck.

                  nice. 26hp is a beast, with the right gearing that bitch could really move. the one we have at home is only 9hp and it can chirp the tires. do a 5th gear clutch drop, you wont be dissapointed.

                              Drop an m50 in it, but make sure to do suspension and brake mods. If you dont some sissys will be upset.

                              I bombed Korea every night.
