I actually have very little use for a lawn mower , what little "lawn" I
have is fairly weasily controlled with a weedeater . What I REALLY need is a
bush hog , since much of what I'll be cutting will probably include small
trees and such . I'm wondering if there's any reason I shouldn't fabricate a
set of bush hog hubs/blades to replace the one-piece blades that I now have
. I realize there will be more load on the bearings/hubs/deck from shock
loads , but they all need repair anyway and there's no reason I can't beef
up the structure while I'm at it . And hey , it should still cut grass
pretty well too .
My old (brown) lawn boy with the front broken off the deck worked
great for trimming back the runnaway lilac bushes. Had about an inch
and a half of the blade exposed.

OSHA would have loved you!


I did put a golf ball into orbit with it!

That's fun, isn't it? I've hit one of the rubber-banded types. The
jacket split and flew off immediately, which is what caught my eye,
then the bands started shredding off in a striptease as it flew away.
