A friend of mine just acquired what I think may very well become the new rave in expedition travel. Let me give you some brief specs about it:
(INSERT BANJO MUSIC HERE)



The craftsman lawn mower, comes complete with custom paint job, over sized tractor tires, reliable and strong engine, manual trans (sorry, no auto option currently available), incredible turning radius, and towing capability. Shes also made right here in the good ol U.S. of A!

She can cruise through water up to about the running boards with out missing beat (don't worry, custom snorkel is in the works!)

She has an awesome power to weight ratio, and is more then willing to pop a few wheelies.

Repairs are simple and fast, even when your seat falls off!

She's very capable at climbing a few hills....

But you have to be careful, she is a little light in the front and can buck you off!

Thankfully she's also a lightweight and does little harm.

(Don't worry, no personnel were hurt during this trial)

An air compressor would have easily fixed this, as the bead is very easy to seat (now if only we HAD an air compressor!).

The majestic beast and her master after a good day or wheeling.

Sure, it starts with a stocker, but soon enough you're modifying it.

This is too funny how you picked that second mower.

The second mower has been upgraded to dual 4 barrels and a bug catcher.

I took this picture in Douglasville GA at Sam Memelos 1st Anual Carshow last fall.

Too funny... I've got a Toro I use as a snow-plow that we beat the crap out of. Use it to push stranded rigs, tow trailers and rally up all over the place :D

Not yet, I'm on deployment, but soon as I get home, I'll show him. I warned him as I was taking the photos I was going to put them up, so he has an idea! :bike_rider:
