I know it's stupid, but .... (stuff in the shed thread)

[pilchardthecat]

Last year I got sick of replacing the belt in the Flymo for £10 every couple of months, so I bought an old, non functioning Suffolk Punch petrol lawnmower for £5 on ebay. I stripped it down and fixed it up and it's been going strong ever since.

About 6 years ago i sold my motorbikes. I still have the aftermarket exaust from the blade. It resides in the shed, providing a home to many small insects, immediately adjacent to the lawnmover.

For a while now I've had this little voice in the back of my head and it just won't go away.

So -

?

Or is it too silly?

[Krikkit]

Do it! You'll probably end up bored and deaf fairly quickly, but you only live once.

Book.

Mark.

Fit that Exhaust onto the Mower?

[LeoZwalf]

It is silly and should be done.

My parents had a Suffolk Punch exactly like the one in your picture since way before I was born (I'm 30) in fact I think it was my mum's dad's before. It gave up the ghost about 15 or so years ago, Dad bought another one very cheap and fixed up the broken one. They still have it and it still works fine.

"They don't make 'em like that anymore, son".

Gotta be done

custom paint job and stanced and you will be sorted

[DanB7290]

That is an amazing idea, do post up the results!

[ryandoc]

Lol quite like this idea, I say go for it. Some powder coating and general pimping is also in order, you know you want to!

maybe some under-lighting too?

[.:ian:.]

• Only* if you also fit a 250cc or greater (I`d go for 650+) bike engine to the mower as well. And get your next of kin to video you using it and put it in youtube.

And some ICE yo!

[VumGarda]

Yes. Do it.

[cocopop]

Brilliant idea! You can't not do it now.

[Six Fiend]

Do It!

[pilchardthecat]

I knew i'd come to the right place.

I shall report back with my progress. I think a custom paint job might be nice, plus perhaps one of those rubber bra things that Volkswagon people like. It's already "slammed" as i like the grass nice and short

I'm not sure it's poissble to contrive a reason to fit lambo doors on a lawnmower though

[TaRD]

Must be done.

Top hinge on the sides of the grass tray. For easier unloading of the grass.

Also you know it's all about a flame job. Or pinstriping.

[groomi]

Those handlebars need chroming and a big old headlight fitted - for practicality ofcourse, so you can mow at night...
