well guys im throwing in the towel i never really got started but i am not going to finish my build im selling it to fund my truck needs...but so long peeps

That's a shame, really. Hopefully, you'll still find time to do the mower modding thing, and stick around to one degree or another.

lol yea im coming back to the mower world just was not the time for me to build something im under tooled and time it limited for me to be outside and stuff its ok tho maybe next time theres a build off i am enjoying seeing all the others with there great builds tho
