Mower Becomes Multi-Purpose Utility Cart

Mower Becomes Multi-Purpose Utility Cart MOWERS Paul Clifford of Dixmont Maine gave new life to a broken-down mower by transforming it into a multi-purpose yard tool Now he has a handy runaround cart with a hydraulic dump cart that easily unhooks “I paid $50 for the mower ” says Clifford “I have three attachments made and counting They use a 2-in receiver hitch; you have to pull a pin to change it ” The cart is well-suited to a variety of yard work “I’m planning to use a blade underneath it for cutting bushes ” he says But his plans are bigger “I have my excavator set to pick up the whole thing to cut the tops of trees A favorite feature of Clifford’s is the David Bradley hood which he mounts onto the front for car shows “The hood ornament is a Franklin Lion It was in my grandfather’s toolbox 60 years ago ” says Clifford “It goes to show you should never throw something away ” Clifford owned everything beyond the mower already so the only cost was labor Now his custom runaround cart serves a practical purpose on his property and earns him attention when he shows it off—an excellent outcome for a mower that was supposed to be trash Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Paul Clifford Dixmont Maine pclifford315@gmail com
