Home-Built Zero Turn Riding Mower
I've had a lot of fun with my home-built, zero turn riding mower which has an up-front deck that can be replaced with a 4-wheeled "cargo caddy". My mower has features that make it work better than any commercial riding mower on the market. It's simple, compact, and very durable. The mulcher-type, rear discharge contoured deck is supported by hidden caster wheels and floats up and down over uneven terrain. However, regardless of the deck's angle, the drive belt to it stays exactly at the same tension at all times. The deck has a recessed yoke in front that lets you cut up close to bushes and shrubs. The deck is secured by a pair of push rods.
  The engine is on back and is covered by a hood that tilts forward for easy access. An automatic braking system stops both the machine and the mower deck whenever you release the gas pedal, which makes it very safe to use. (Albert Browning, 179 Hwy. 865, Winnsboro, La. 71295 ph 318 435-4824)
