OT I am going to need a riding mower for my new airport home. I will have 2
acres, mostly flat with some trees. One ditch fairly shallow.
I can't afford to spend a lot of cash. I am interested in the Sears
Craftsman riding mowers that have a tight turn radius (5.5 inches)
Any thoughts?
Only Pietenpol content is this mower will also mow the taxiway.

I am rebuilding a long fuse Piet and want to us a Model A or B. I couldn't
find much on it in the archives. It looks like most of the stretch on the
fuse in in the front. Has anyone done this?
Thanks for any help.

A John Deere zero radius turn is a better machine. Fast (9.5 mph) and looks
like a rug when done. My 54" cuts in about 1/3 less time than my old 60" Y
azoo.

Hi Steve,
I picked up an old Snapper from Craig=99s list for $50. I enjoyed reb
uilding the carb and refurbing other items and now we use it to mow taxiway
s and to pull a garden wagon that sometimes carries a portable generator an
d sometimes carries beer. I don=99t advocate it for 2 acres, but I do
advocate checking out Craigslist for fun projects that fit the bill.
As to Sears Craftsman, I=99ve used an older one. Did really well for
a plot the size you=99re talking. If you=99re just going to mow
with it, almost anything above 8 hp will be good enough, IMO. Mine was 17
hp and was way more than needed (but cheap at $200 used!).
Here=99s me imitating Forrest Gump: https://youtu.be/X8df583kSjw
HTH,
Jeff

3/4 4130 tubing with 3mm okume plywood. Leading and trailing edge are clear pine.
To fasten the fairing to the tubing I welded a small tab in two spots to the
trailing edge of tubing where I attached small blocksize of wood that acted
as a backing to screw the fairing into. I'll use some pleat her at the top and
bottom to blend into wing and fuselage.
