Cordless Drill Starts Self-Propelled Mower Using The Pull Cord
Trevor Firth, New South Wales, New Brunswick, Canada: “My wife couldn’t start our self-propelled, 21-in. self-propelled mower using the pull cord, so I came up with a way to use a cordless drill to do the job. The pull cord assembly acts on a disc that’s held in place by a 21mm hex nut on top of the engine. I removed the plastic cover to expose the nut and put a socket on it. Then I installed a 3/8-in. square drive shaft on an old cordless drill. To start the mower my wife just runs the drill at low speed.”
