OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Restoring, Customising and Modifying Ride-On Mowers Resto Notes: Murray ... with Overhead Foxtails

You can also see here the selective use of the chrome plated bolts.
They give a bit of bling (is that REALLY a word?).
This machine will remain a work in progress for an example of the ridiculous things you do with a Lawn Tractor . I like the term "Lawn Tractor" better than ride-on mower for the lager engine in front machines. Ride-on always throws images of old Rover Rangers in my head (My 3rd resto from now)here it is.



My current work in progress is a Lawn Tractor by Victa which shares the same chassis and setup with our iPhone build but I don't have a deck so I'm building an ungoverned 15hp with a carby from my old school Yamaha 250XS a tuned exhaust and a foot throttle. It goes well. So it will become the tow car for the trailers and implements and in top gear a bit of fun.
Here it is from the original ad. We have it running around with a hand throttle and a (really) dodgy exhaust.




The following project (research, parts acquisition and resources are well advanced) is a 42" Husqvana. I'll be offering this for sale as I only have 2 acres and 1/2 an acre per mower is approaching overkill
I've got some great ideas for this and I'm torn as which I'll keep. I've learned a lot from the Murray so the Husky may be better?



Anyway, I can see it, but to you guys it's just piece of yard trash.
This one I'll thread here as I do it. I imagine about 6-8 months as winters here are not fun for playing outside.
