Well, garden tractor actually. Lawn tractors are for stereotypical urban dwellers. Garden tractors are for people with big lawns or people with small lawns who like overkill, like me. It’s barely adequate for the 1/4 acre lawn, but I get by. I bought it at my grandparents estate auction a couple weeks ago. I paid too much for it, but I’ve had my eye on it since 1989. 🙂 ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/bigdannyk66/062307.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/bigdannyk66/062307.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/bigdannyk66/062307-2.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/bigdannyk66/062307-2.jpg) ---

I remember my parents had the exact some one, pretty badass lawn-tractor. Keep an eye on the drive belt though, quite easy to wear prematurely and shred itself on a metal safety tab if it does get loose. The gearing was so absurdly low on it though haha. ---
