He Made A Handy Mower Handle

He Made A Handy Mower Handle MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Handicapped Equipment John Herren figured out a way to make getting on his zero-turn mower easier and safer with some pipe and a little welding “The steering handles aren’t steady and rigid enough for support to get on safely ” says the 93-year-old DIYer Though he prefers driving a tractor with a mower he decided to make the mower handier for others He welded 3/4-in pipe to create a handle on the front of the mower to a 1/4-in thick steel bracket to fit over the front axle The handle angles toward the seat so it can be easily reached He secured the bracket with a bolt under the axle to steady the handle Herren says that after painting it red the handle looks like part of the machine and is appreciated by those who use it Contact: FARM SHOW Followup John Herren P O Box 72069 Louisville Ky 40272 ph 502-741-7521; jrherren31@yahoo com
