I rather prefer it the way it is! The visual is priceless.
Yeah? (Not disagreeing, hear me out)

Visualize...
Same guy...

Force - retrofitting said steering wheel on a walk behind mower.

Didjaseeit?

I'll wait for the novella. (Could only imagine the gem he'd come up with after that)

One of the quintessential joys of capitalism, you can pay someone else when you're lazy to do the job yourself :D
I don't know how big Trunkies lawn is but they quoted me $170 to do my yard ONCE! Nope, we'll do it ourselves!

When you say we'll do it ourselves you mean the hubby???:lol::lol:
Nope, I do the majority on the riding mower and he does the edges (under big bushes & corners) with the push mower he got that is too heavy for me to manuver. :p

Our yard is too much for 1 person to have to do alone.

I started out with a gray 55 chevy that was like that. Loose steering but it was also manual so if you wanted to turn you better be in good shape. Probably couldn't drive it now LOL
