Looking for a 1/25 lawnmower

[crazyjim]

Anybody know if 1/25 scale lawnmowers are available anywhere?

MPC's old Indy cars had lawn tractors without mower decks. Scale Equipment Ltd. makes resin ones too, I think they're based on the MPC tractor with added deck.

Check G scale train stuff, too, there's bound to be some mowers out there for those, I know there are for smaller scales.

Another source are die casts from Scale Models and Liberty. Both have made trucks that came with push mowers (John Deere and Craftsman), and I know of at least one release that came with a vintage john Deere lawn tractor.

Jim that may take you awhile to get the yard done.

The old Indy Car with the Wheel Horse is the only one I know of. They are on EBAY often. Last week one was on for 10.00 starting bid.

I talked with the owner of Scale Equipment. He has a lawn tractor and quite a few other neat goodies. I'll check some train places too.

There is a 1/24 scale Exmark Zero Turn on the bay right now Jim.

There is a company that sells kits of pre-painted plastic items for models. I bought a garage set that had things like an air compressor, roll around tool box, floor jack and other shop items. They had other sets as well, including a yard working set with a lawn mower and other landscaping items.

Unfortunately I don't recall the company but I used to see them at Hobby Town USA.

Here they are

Unfortunately I don't see the landscaping set with a lawn mower, but now you have the brand name.

I have the original landscaping set, it does not have a lawn mower in it. I does seem that they have issued a second landscaping kits, but while it does have some power equipment in it (edger, leaf blower, weed wacker), it does not have a mower in it either.

Oh yeah, the large landscaping set from Phoenix Toys has a push mower. We even sell them. Totally forgot!

Oops, never mind. That's an edger, not a push mower.

Thanks for the info, fellas. I'll be checking those places out.

Well that's a bummer, I was sure one of them had a lawn mower. Looks like everything but, what a strange omission since I would think that would be an important item and they seem to include everything else.

There was a guy in Ohio that belonged to the Buckeye Model Club that made vacuum formed mower body's out of .010 Evergreen stock.

I used the engine from the Dragula Surf Slab, wheels/tires are made from Evergreen round tube
