Guess The McMower

At first un-boxing. Seems weird to buy a $100 deck for a $200 lawn mower.

Welcome to the game I like to call“Guess The Theme.” A prizeless contest where I post a step in a lawn mower paint job every day while guesses are made as to what it will be, and then eventually post the rest of the photos.

I picked up this new deck back in November to replace the damaged deck on my flame mower (link below), and was trying to figure out what to do with this one.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Step 1, debadge and undercoat. The paint that came on the new deck was a little thin in places. Sanded and painted underneath.

Step #3 roughen/sand surface to prep for paint.

Step #4 White base coat. Could be the base color, or just a prime for other colors.

Step #5 - Look, some red.

Step #6, I put tape on it.

STep #7 - I also like blue

Step #8, remove some tape.

Step #9 More tape would be fine!

Step #10, Some light blue

Step #11, more tape.

Step #12 - Two more coats of white. (I don’t have a photo of this step, so just imagine there’s tape and paint under there.

Water bowl spilling over, so when the grass sees it coming they think they are getting a drink, then get chewed up and spit out.

Replying to my comment to clarify that at the time of posting, the deck was all-black. Obviously, it doesn’t look like a Batmobile anymore.

I tried to attach a boat cup holder to my mower handle once. While it was able to swivel and stay plumb at any angle, it bounced so damn much on the handle tha half the beer splashed out.
