Folks Of Interest MARK MORIARITY NEEDS THIS

BB

 

My first thought is "Somebody has waaaaay too much time on their hands". But I like it. I've been thinking of modifications I could do to my riding mower but only after I get my coupe on the street.

 

Is that a little Indian on the front?

 

So true, Bob! That has Marks name written all over it. I think my son would mow his lawn next time we visit.

 

I like that, I think those skirted fenders are the same as the ones on my old baby carriage. Bob

 

@Bob K - Very Cool!

NOTE: Here's one of the vintage mowers that @Moriarity already restored:

​

 

he posted it in the "home made tool thread"

I like that! I'm also one who thinks everything should be HOT RODDED, my mower has a 671 blower on it. ha. ha. Ron...

 

post 2814 of that thread you can see photos of it in progress. the both of you did a great job.

 

I saw that on FB and immediately thought of him.

 

damn! it would take all weekend to mow the lawn with that tiny thing!

 

for showin' not mowin'

 

for showin' not mowin while the grass keeps growin'

 

I probably shouldn't post this, but it is kind of funny. I took some old parts and put them together, and screwed them to my mower. It gets some funny looks from the neighbor's. ha. ha. does any one else ever Hot ROD stupide stuff? I put a gas engine on my Grandsons power wheels and a side car and snow plow on his mini bike. You can Hot Rod anything. L.O.L.

 

why cant you be my neighbor Ron!!?? No weird looks from me, id be running across your yard dragging side pipes to bolt on that thing!

 

Thanks Jason, my mower still has a Warranty on it, so I didn't want to get to carried away. I thought about zoomies, But I need to be able to take the blower off easy for service. And you know how it is when you super charge. It voids factory warranty. ha ha. Ron...

 

I wish I still had my old cub cadet that I adapted 14 inch cragers to the back. We could start a hot rod mower club!

 

Cool rider Ron. Reminds me of something Tim Allen would have made on his show Home Improvement.

 

The guy has ALL of the cool stuff that there is. He didn't save any for anyone else.

 

Jason I would loved to have seen that! Did you take any pictures? I don't think my little mower would have handled those anyway. lol I been thinking on buying a cheap riding mower and striping it down to the deck and frame. And building one with a 59 vette go kart body, that I already have. It would be fun for my grandson and I would have a spare mower too. I will post pictures if I do it. And maybe we can start that club. I'll nominate Moriarity president ha. ha. Ron...

 

I wish I did. It met a bad ending when the strap broke on it holding it to tge trailer when I was moving. Not much left of it so it went to the scrap yard. But I will now be souping up my craftsman rider. Yours has inspired me. I see some slot mags on the back, and some type of scoop on the front with a supertrap hanging off the side.

 

I found a snow blower for Moriarity! ha. ha. Ron...

 

"if it won't throw snow, chrome it".....................or something like that.
