Saftey first!! You would hate for someone to be run down by a tractor…….. :lol:

It does make you wonder if the local authorities are even trained to spot some of the less know military weapons, probably are, I wouldn't know.
And you will get in trouble once its a spud gun for sure, One way or another!
We used to shoot potatoes clean through 1/2" plywood at about 15 feet or so, couldn't get through the 3/4" and too close was a bit messy!


It could happen those tractors were from garden size to 8 wheeled monsters on small town roads a very tight fit , tractor parades are awesome and there were bikers there too :thumbup:

And ya know I was thinking the same the PD should be up on these types of weapons I walked right passed six of them and said hello I suppose if I had a turban it would not have gone so well :think:


Spud Guns are cool I got my first spudgun opportunity this past 4th July, we shot potatoes long distances thru a PVC pipe with a propane grill igniter, fun fun :lol:

It's GREEN... no, not the S3, KH400 or the ladder... look for the handle at far end... in front of the plywood...

I've wanted one of these for quite a while, now finally!!! :mrgreen:

No more paying for someone else to mow my lawn! :thumbup: And I get to enjoy that 2 stroke sound and smell! :clap:

Better pictures after I have a chance to get it out and clean it up! :wave:

DuraForce 6.5HP too! If it surges, you can reject and change incorrect throttle plate that most had.

Yep! I've already ordered the decal for the engine shroud. :roll: I was hoping to get a Gold Series with the aluminum deck, but i'm fine with this one. I think the engine is the same anyway... :thumbup:

I got one of those when it was being thrown away a few years ago. A new ignition unit and it's like new.

I forgot to tell you the best part, after loading the Lawnboy into the truck, the seller was giving me the "make sure you don't run straight gas, you need to mix oil with it..." speech, when I closed the tailgate and pointed to my licence plate. You can see it here...

Image

He looked at it, a little puzzled, then I said "Kawasaki Triple!" His response was, of course...

























I had one of those!!! :lol: A 72 S2, we then chewed the fat about triples, RDs and general hell raising in our younger days... :thumbup:
