brand it is though...but i bet Rocky could tell you...... :D

I tried to take a picture of the tag but it came out blurry so here are a few pics of the peerless as a whole.

I have joined a local mower race club and am building it to their rules and specs. I have a 12.5 that I am rebuilding to go in it. Take the peerless and put a solid axle in it clean it out and then cut about 4.5 inches off the top of the frame paint it blue and silver maybe. I havent decieded the color just yet. I am going to take my time and try to do it right for the first race that starts in march next year.

Tell the guys down there at SEMOW Racers to take it easy on you. Especially that 1031 character! You gotta watch him!! In fact it might be a good idea to get him over to your garage so you can, he might share a few ideas.  :wink:
