my riding lawn mower

I list on Craigslist all the time, I put a request out a few months back for some riding tractors. It said:

"Free removal of lawn mowers, lawn tractors, and implements. Cash paid for better machines."

I had numerous hits, I got a couple items for free, and a lot of people asking $50 - $100 for running machines. I wasn't really interested in buying anything at the moment, but it was a good feeling that I could get something when I'm ready to buy. They are out there, you just need to look.

Pa always seem to have people that give away lawn mower for cheap and free, here in DE everyone wants top doller for junk!!

does anyone know if you can drive a lawn mower on the street in california like in the city

That a trick question? Not a chance. Besides being totally illegal, youd be loooking at a hefty ticket.

Tractors are in no way shape or form legal to drive on streets. Ive done it, but i live on a quiet side street at the edge of town and its a dirt road- one time a sheriff did pull me over , but let me off with a warning, only because hes never seen anything like it before and it wasnt a busy street. Well that and i wasnt drinking either.

Down here its legal to drive ATV's on dirt roads ( if thier liscenced) up to 45mph ( or lower posted speed limit)- ive seen everything from golf karts to go karts and minibikes go down my road as well as a few stocker mowers.

is it still illegal if you have one of those dymond reflecter things that allow the bigger tractors to drive on the road

I dont think the police would be amused - not to mention the fact of being run over by a crazed californian would be good either.
