Hi, does any one have any idea where to find a plastic figurine of a rideing lawn mower. I have found metal ones but I don't think my client wants to spend that much. Any help would be great Brian www.trophystoreandmore.com

You might want to consider using a trophy top that holds a 2" disk and use clipart of a lawn mover.

I didn't pay that much attention to it, but I think I saw a lawn mower topper in the JDS catalog. It may have been a tractor.

I have two big customers who swear they've seen these plastic garden tractor figures at their competitions....but they never seem to have one on hand to show me. Please let me know if you find something other than the DTC, PDU figures. I would truly appreciate it!

I don't know how big these are, but how about figuring out a way to use something like this:

Thanks, Dave! Those are great looking and I have used things like that, mounted on plaques, in the past... but I think this customer would like to have the incredibly inexpensive plastic trophy figure if possible.. I like your choice, though! He's going to be doing far too many for that to be an economical way to go. He only wants to spend about $10 per trophy, complete. I'll keep this site for later...maybe an "end of season" award.

Maybe you should just use something like LaserLights to engrave and cut a two-tone image of a garden tractor and glue that to a plaque? ...Dave Dave Jones Design

JDS has one that came out last year. If you don't have the catalog I can get the part number tomorrow.

Thanks so much, Dave and Cathy. I like both ideas. Laser lights is a great product...we can definitely try that...and if you have that part number, Cathy, I will check it out!

Cathy, I am also interested in this. I knew they had a tractor pulling figure but, had not seen the lawn mower racing figure. My customers also want economical trophies. Toni

Maybe you can get some video shots from the 'Home Improvement' show. One show had a great lawn mower racing theme. Philadelphia, PA (Really Bensalem) When you finally understand it completely... it changes.
