Does anyone know where I can get a riding mower for cheap? I have a ton of grass to mow, and I am only going to be at this house for 3 more months. I have a push mower, but it takes the better part of an entire day to mow the front and back yards. Any suggestions?

If you are only there until you ETS...Hire someone to mow before you leave....Much chaeper than buying.

 

Give the Oak Harbor rental places a call, they advertise "lawn and garden" equipment.

 

Hey, 993/4ton, I found one for ya!

 

That is bad a$$! I would totally mow with that.

 

my friend aaron races lawnmowers

 

Got any pix?

 

actually yeah....heres at his house at his practice track....doing about 35mph http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w...5/P4150078.jpg

and yeah, both front wheels are off the ground

 

That's hilarious! 35mph! Wow! ~ How fast can it go? Looks like he has quite the 'rooster tail' coming off the back end! Ha! Ha!

 

with the gearing he has on this one, it will go up to 45mph. He's building another one from scratch that should do upwards towards 60

 

That's insane!

 

my friends and I got in trouble by one of their moms because we took there lawnmower and got up to 45 in it, on the dirt road.....she wasnt too happy. but the dust that was left was worse when we take the jeep down at 60...


oh yeah check craigslist or something, we got one for 300, for work and check old like motorcycle shops and lawnmower repair. always have good deals

 

THATS FRIGGIN COOL!!!! I would so pick up an old JD just to do that if I wasnt liveing in the barraks....LOL

 

85, go to the Auto Hobby Shop on base show the guys there some pictures and they'll probably give you a hand. When i worked over at Smokey Point we did all sorts of crazy stuff there.
