To beat the heat, I installed a custom AC on my lawn tractor.

Can get the same effect if you just drive the mower faster. Much faster.

This, kids, was how the V8 solved the climate crisis.

I've heard of hardware hacking for John Deere tractors, but I like this one the most haha

Get some water misting in front of it and it’d be heaven!

I've done this with another brand of 18v battery fan. But I used a couple of bungee cords to strap it down to the hood, stays on through bumps and hills.
The only drawback is when you pilot the mower through a cloud of dust and it blows in your face

I'll have a look for the best mounting locations, this sounds like a pretty good idea.

Sic. Is it powered by its own battery or attached to the tractor's battery?

It's own, the fan is from the M18 line of tools, that fan is s godsend when summer camping.

Sounds like a permanent solution then.
