Foot Pedal Cable Lifts Mower Discharge Chute
“I came up with this idea a few years ago to raise the discharge chute on my zero-turn riding mower,” says Earl Line, Melita, Manitoba.
    “Normally I mow with the chute in the lower position, but once in a while I need to raise the chute. This is an easy way to do that,” says Line. “I used a foot pedal made from scrap metal, a couple of angle iron brackets, and a length of cable off an old push mower.    
    “The foot pedal mounts to the foot deck where I can operate it with the heel of my foot. I push on the pedal to raise the chute, and when I remove my foot the chute drops back down to its regular mowing position. The cable runs along the mower deck and under the seat. My total cost was only about $20. Works great.”
