Wheelie-Popping "Johnmower"
 ✖  |
“It’s a big hit everywhere I go,” says Craig Czako, Mt. Morris, Penn., about the wheelie-popping “johnmower” he built by attaching a wooden outhouse to the back of a Sears riding mower. A 2-wheeled wheelie bar trails behind to make sure the rig doesn’t tip over backward.
The driver sits on a toilet seat and has a roll of toilet paper handy, with a deer skull and antlers behind him and a fake “corn cob” gearshift lever off to one side. There’s also an ooga horn, which Czako blows whenever he’s ready to pop a wheelie. A big color drawing on front of the tractor shows a ‘weirdo hot rod.’ The drawing is on an aluminum plate that’s bolted to the mower frame. Another plate on back reads “eat more possum”.
“I take it to car shows and drag races, and it always steals the show. People love it and go nuts when they see me do a wheelie for the first time,” says Czako. “The combined weight of the rear-mounted engine and outhouse makes it easy to lift up the front end. The entire rig is so well balanced that I don’t have to be in motion to stay up in the air. In fact, when I pop a wheelie it always stays on 4 wheels whether I’m driving or not so it’s very safe to use. And because the engine is rear-mounted, I can pop wheelies as long as I want without starving the engine for oil.”
