Shouldn't you replace that steel deck with a carbon fiber one?  Probably shave off a couple of pounds!

I come from a long line of garbage pickers (my grandfather put the "dive" in dumpster diving) so no worries. I like to see stuff get recycled vs. trashed.

Now as for the fat tired lawnmower, I'll go ahead and file it in the damn-good-idea/why-didn't-I-think-of-that bin. :D Brilliant!

Not carbon fiber or fat tires, but when I found some rust of the deck of an old lawnmower, I did it up proper riceboy style and repainted it with racing stripes and and stickers.

Nice!  That probably shaves 10 minutes off your grass cutting time :)

Actually it added quite a bit. Took so long to do the repaint the yard looked more like a jungle. I'd mow about 20 feet and have to empty the bag. :D
