Overview[]
Hank, Dale, Bill, and Boomhauer all standing around the mower.
Hank Hill's Mason Co. Lawnmower is shown in several episodes throughout the series, and often becomes the center of discussion or debate between Hank, Dale, Bill, and Boomhauer. It has been seen mowing and driving, and during routine repair and troubleshooting. Hank takes great pride in his mower, and devotes himself to taking good care of it. His mechanical expertise is shown to have aided in maintenance of the machine. Hank has an attachment to his lawnmower much like with Lady bird, His truck, and other things he holds close. It can also be said that he trusts the Mason company itself, as in Episode 7 of Season 3, "Nine Pretty Darn Angry Men", while browsing the Six Malls Over Texas, he comes upon a new iteration of Hank's mower, and is drawn to it partly because of the brand name. Though, this new mower is visibly a far cry from what Hank considers a standard lawn tractor.
Design[]
The lawnmower (also called a lawn tractor), is much like modern ride-on lawn mowers of the time. It features wide-turf tires, a dual blade mowing deck, dual headlights, plush seat, rear fenders, and a hydrostatic pedal accelerator. It is painted crimson red, while the grille, rims, and mower deck are painted black. The Mason emblem is shown on the side of the hood, rear towards the driver. Both sides of the hood sport a white or raised chrome pinstripe from front to back. The logo spells "Mason" over a yellow rhombus stretched horizontally. It is unclear whether the bodywork is ABS plastic or steel, but judging by the complex curves it is likely to be plastic. Hank reveals that the engine was manufactured by Tecumseh. Occasionally, Hank uses a rear bagger on the mower to collect grass clippings.
Other Appearances[]
Dale, Bobby, and others can be seen driving the lawnmowers at times, though not for its intended purpose. Much like other things of his, Hank might reprimand the lawnmowers driver following its departure.
History[]
Season 13[]
In "Uh-oh, Canada" Hank gets a Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) on his record, but thanks to Buck Strickland's lawyer, J.J. Womack, he will not lose his license, but Hank have to go talk to some high school kids about drinking and driving and look at some dead bodies at the morgue and stay off my lawnmower for six months. Bill Dauterive empathizes with Hank that he will have a hard time using a push mower for six months.
