pmackellow 2,738 #1 Posted June 27, 2020 After seeing CNews fantastic mower project it got me thinking... I had a spare O&R engine in stock and a very sad looking Nash Boadicea mower with a tired JAP 34 on it... It's not finished yet, just a bit of fun using what bits I have in stock... 6 factory, nigel, CNew and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CNew 404 #3 Posted June 27, 2020 That’s a great looking mower, never seen one like that. Interesting design concept with the wood roller/wheels. It looks awesome with the O&R on it! Can’t wait to see the final product when you’re all done. 1 pmackellow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep looks nice, I just thought British racing green would contrast well with the red and the wood 1 pmackellow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CNew 404 #7 Posted June 27, 2020 Bare Aluminum or the British racing green would both look awesome! 1 pmackellow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallfish 698 #8 Posted June 28, 2020 O&Rs look cool on those little mowers. Good to see everyone building stuff with them too. If you can't find it, make one! 1 pmackellow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

factory 487 #10 Posted June 28, 2020 Looks very nice, but I can't help thinking if it was used as a mower the bare aluminium would corrode very quickly. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CNew 404 #15 Posted July 4, 2020 Very nice! I like the bare aluminum too. The green handle makes a nice accent along with the wooden rollers and red engine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
