Lawn Mower Lover
Ah the lover of the lawn mower! A suburban icon, an excuse to tinker with a motor, a go-cart for big kids or just a way to reduce the height of your lawn.
This little site will attempt to explore the wonderful world of lawn mowers in all their glory. So sit back, relax and have a flick about and find your answers and hopefully be a bit entertained.

Ahh! I have been away for a while! (mowing on my ride on in the amazon...You should see all the sloths!!!)Im sorry whipper i simply can't answer that question. im not the kind of person to deal with OLD mowers. But i think best bet there would be: sell the thing on ebay, claim it as an antique and put the $50 (optimistically) into a fund for a new Grass muncher. You could also do what I did and hold a barbeque. Invite all of your mates over and charge em a bit to come in call it a "charity barbeque" and just avoid whenever someone asks what it's for. Depending on how many friend you have/ how many dumb randoms you can hook in, you could probably raise a few hundred.
And now my friendly hippy fellow! If you are indeed a hippy i would say it's fairly contradictory for you to be a mower supporter... especially if you have seen a mower that operates as mine does. I.e. you don't see it at all all because of the black smoke. But hey if you are into the whole hot rod mower thing... you'd love my ranch. Unless of course you are against the whole importing animals illegally thing. My ranch... it's brilliant. Over 50 mowers, and only 4 work because they are really hybrids of all the others. Around $50,000 of useless mowers. my first 2 hybrids were just a bit of fun, they have crazy acceleration and can quite literally mow a family car down. No. 3 or The Warthog as i like to call her, has an engine that has enough grunt to push a coal train back along it's tracks and is fully equipped to do so, with a solid bull bar and tow rope.
The there is No. 4, who is just to big to call a she. You could Launch a space shuttle from on top and the only signs would be a few charcoal skids. I'm fairly sure that it could withstand a small nuclear explosion too.. although I haven't actually tested that... yet. It is my pride and joy, but between you and me, it still scares me...if there is any one piece of technology in the world that i am afraid of, this is it.
So please my young hippy friend, presumably from the land down under, where lawn growers are more important than lawn mowers, share all of your wild fantasy mower stories! welcome to the family!

well bugger me, a place where ppl worship lawnmowers eh? ok, im in. Where are the poics of your hotrod mowers then?
I bought an older model Snapper rotary mower [Quantum XM] and it is very sluggish and doesn't rev very high. Can I get to the carb and, if so, can I increase the revs? It runs like it's got a governor or something.
