Farm out man. Would you be so kind as to disclose the source for your Deere. I've got to make one of those.:thumbsup:

It only lacks a 21st century Zomboid Man in the driver's seat. See the Bob Zilla for a consultation.

(Hint: Please to think Zomboid Man when you hear Schizoid Man.)

I am guessing the scale is 1:55 - would that be correct? :hat:

Fordcowboy & Russ,

VJ has the right idea on the tip of his tounge. Put a 1:55 version of your Wife on that Deere and paint some track green. Haaaaaaaaaaahahhaaha keep mowing baby!

CJ with this senario you become the beer holder...lol Gonna need a 1:55 folding chair also. :drunk:


Bob...she thinks my tractors sexy...zilla

I got the body from Farm & Home Supply. It's sitting on a Tyco chassis. Knobby tires are from a Nissan truck. It does have a beer holder on the fender, it's small, but there. The deck is 2" wide. When flying around the track the tires make a funny noise. I guess I gotta find some beer for the cup holder.
On my real lawnmower I have a cup holder on the hood for easy access.
Thanks for looking!

Later,
Fordcowboy

Those tires DO make a funny noise! We race those off road trucks with the knobby tires and it's even more crazy when there are four of them going around at once. You can hear each other's driving style though.....and get to where you can "drive by sound" for your timing.
Love the lawn mower conversion. Things like this are what make this hobby so much fun.

Roadrunner - I'll bring my lawnmower over, if you pay for my gas!
ParkRNDL - The idea for a lawntractor pull is a cool idea.
Does anyone know where the first recorded tractor pull took place??
My lawnmower body is from Ertyl. Anyone having trouble finding these let me know. I'll get some to you. Just pay for the lawnmower + shipping. I found mine at Farm & Home Supply.

"The first recorded "motorized" pulling events took place in 1929 -- one in Bowling Green, Mo., and one in Vaughansville, Ohio." from first link
