Now for the electric start conversion on a contraption with 5 engines.

I support this plan, though firing them up individually was kinda glorious; like my own personal Daytona 500.

I saved “old leaky” for last, and when she finally fired up, I swear a Bald Eagle flew overhead and was immediately sucked into the turbines of the Blue Angels, which spat out red, white, & blue flames ov victory.

In reply to poopshovel again :

Think individual starter switches all on a single board. So it's like firing up some sort of doomsday device.

We had a similar contraption that an older gent used to mow the softball fields at the church.  His was towed (less gloriously, I might add) by an old Craftsman mower which did the "center cut" in addition to pulling the mowers.  It worked/works surprisingly well.  He passed away last year, but I believe he "passed the torch" to one of the younger guys on the softball team first.  

So, basically, your next task is a belly mower for the Disco.  

In reply to kazoospec :

I could’ve attached four to the JD Riding mower, but it doesn’t have air con & a tape deck...or room for a cooler.

Never have I ever wanted a Land Rover in my whole life. Until now. Well done sir. 

That is spectacular.

Thank you. It’s really good at going very short distances at 5mph.

What about removing the pull cord cover and starting them with a drill or impact driver?

Five mower lawn punch.

why stop with 5?

This is the single greatest photo that I have ever seen on the internet that doesn't have girls in it.

Now you need a banner in between the wood spacers that says:

Outstanding!!!!  

You just doubled the value of every land rover ever made.

I don’t know how to say “seven” in German?

But yeah. Agreed. I think I need to run a board across the back two(?) they’re bouncing/swerving considerably more than the others. If we can get some damned RAIN, I hope to give the whole field a shot next weekend.

Also, I kinda wish I’d held out for PUSH mowers only. The “lead” mower is a TANK and weighs close to 100 lbs. The lone push-mower in the rear feels like it’s less than 15.

JohnInKansas knocked the vinyl so far outta the park, you’d need a telescope to see it from Earth.

Sadly, I asked for them to be “small,” and also berkeleyed the first one up trying to be a hero and apply it myself. 

V2.0 will be bigger, better, hong-er.

Crappy pics don’t do the artwork justice.

John is the Schwanzpunch beneath my wings.

I don't think anyone has ever said that to me before. Or maybe to anyone, ever.

Clearer version of the aforementioned:

Take 2 will be mo' better. Going for Ricky Bobby's Fig Newton scale.

I don't know why my mind lapsed to The Chariot race in Ben-Hur
