Lawnmover

I finally finished the lawnmower. This is the Co-op one that has lain in pieces for 15 years, and has been on the Lucia pallet-table all summer. Now I have a 6-hp monster, massively heavy, that I don't really need--but it's finished!!





With overhead valves and manual throttle, it's an old-school grass killer. It might just be the dogwood demolition tool I've been looking for.
UPDATE: As of June, 2016, this is our main push mower. I mounted a fixed discharge chute after cutting a hole in the side of the deck (it was originally rear-eject with a plastic chute that always clogged). The original blade adapter wasn't up to the job, but the heavy duty replacement turned the machine into a very reliable and powerful mower.
