Charlie Smith 142 #1 Posted June 23, 2013 Hello guys! It's not a wheel horse, but its still tractor related. I have been lucky enough to get my hands on a mowett mustang 1970's 5HP ride on mower, they are minuiture little things, and look just great, the pictures I have added are not of the one I brought, as I don't pick it up until Wednesday as the owners are away, but this is the same tractor, just restored to a lot better condition, this is the start of a new topic, I hope to add more pictures and information when I get it back into my shed, if anyone out there knows about these? Any information would be brilliant, And yes I know it looks like it was made from a few scraps of steel and a spare engine but it really is a genuine garden tractor, Mowett Mustang made in the US Thanks, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken B 3,175 #9 Posted July 3, 2013 Very nice!I had the same tractor when I was a kid but mine had a 7 hp on it. It was in MINT shape. I had to work for a month splitting and stacking wood after school and weekends to pay for it! My back still hurts... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
