Flip-Down Step For Riding Mower
“I came up with a nifty step for getting onto my Deere X570 riding mower that’s handy for older people or people who are short,” says Harry T. Kuyper, age 80, from Kewadin, Mich.
    “I have been told that you should not step onto a mower deck because it may damage the lift arms holding it up. Basically, what I did was to attach a large door hinge to the end of the deck. A piece of scrap wood is attached to the loose side of the hinge that’s long enough to reach the ground, and a string is attached to it.
    “To get on the mower, just flip the step down, step up, and then use the string to flip up the step while mowing.When you go to get off, just kick the step back down with your foot.”
