OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Idle Chatter Be the Tennant!

OK, so I have decided it's time to get back to my Frankenstein, and was wondering if I might be able to ask a little help.

As this will be my attempt at amalgamating as many 'Tennant's improvements' as possible, I was wondering if i could get some suggestions, either strange handy-man work you have seen, or just funny idea's.

You need exhaust stacks. With the old tractor flaps on top.

Yeah!!! Joe!
I was thinking of headlights...for night mowing...and musical air horns to keep people and animals out of the way whilst you're on the move!!

One day I will be doing the "ricer" mower, I have the cannon muffler here just need chrome wheels and some accsesories.

If you are thinking of exhaust stacks , you had better also think of better induction .
Years ago I used to be a truckie , built this machine last year .

G'day Al, seeing those pipes so close together like that would tempt me to weld a flange on the exhaust and attach a minature turbo blowing into the inlet snorkel. Useless on a 2 stroke I know, but it made me think it

Hi to Al and Joe....that is one ripper of a machine, isn't it!!

Gooday Mr Davis,

Have you thought of adding a GPS - for larger lawned areas ??

Stationary

Go the whole hog, all in one GPS - DVD Blue Ray player - Surround Sound w/Sub woofa - and rear view mirrors. LED lighting under the frame would be nice also.

My tastes are simple. I think all you really need is a Vanguard V-twin engine, vertical exhaust stack with flap valve on top, vertical intake stack with forward facing air scoop on top, twin rear vision mirrors, and a twist-grip throttle on wide motorcycle handlebars. I don't suppose I'd say no to self-propulsion with six-wheel skid steer, but that is getting a bit fancy. How about some grass skis for the operator? Or if you actually wanted to make it into a fun project rather than a show-pony, why not convert it into a Victa version of the Honda Odyssey ATV? I nearly bid on one once at a clearing sale, but as it turned out it went for quite a high price.

Now that sound like a real hot rod of a mowing machine, grumpy !!
I particularly like the motorcycle twist grip throttle..
