There are actually people that turn used mowers into atv’s and ride on the atv trails. They remove the deck, put on bigger diameter tires, and often eliminate the governor on the engine and convert to throttle control. They go thru some very surprising rough terrain. A lot of fun can be had on a 200 dollar busted deck lawnmower and some bigger tires and wheels. When she blows, the move parts to the next mower. The fact so many mowers are made by MTD provides a lot of parts interchange and plenty to stock to convert.
