Zero-Turn Mower Handle
Nick Russian, Central City, Penn., wanted to help an elderly local veteran who was having trouble getting on and off his zero-turn lawnmower.
Looking for an inexpensive way to make the mower more accessible, Russian took to the scrap pile of a nearby junk recycler.
“I found curved 1-in. iron pipe, probably from a heating system, which was the perfect size and shape. No bending was required. I drilled holes at the ends and bolted it to the front of the mower, using existing holes. The pipe needed a stabilizing brace, so I used the support from an aluminum folding lawn chair. The piece also was the perfect size and shape.
“I drilled it and the pipe and bolted it on using existing holes in the mower. I used six 1/2-in. dia. bolts. We painted it green to match the mower,” says Russian.
“The project only took a few hours of my time, and the handle really helps him get on and off the mower.”
