ABSTRACT:
A swiveling wheel attachment for the front of a lawnmower, wherein the attachment includes a main body member having a rectangular side plate and a rectangular upper plate. The plates are formed at a right angle along a longitudinal side of each plate, so that the main body member is shaped like an upside down "L". The side plate defines a series of holes, or interconnected slots, which are used to connect the main body member to the front end of a lawnmower. The holes or slots are arranged in such a way that the height of the main body member may be adjusted relative to the lawnmower. The main body member is attached using threaded nuts and bolts. On the underside of the upper plate member, a pair of swiveling wheels are attached, so that the wheels may rotate in a 360 degree arc in a horizontal plane to facilitate maneuverability of the lawnmower. The swiveling wheel attachment is meant to replace the existing front fixed wheels of a standard push type lawnmower, so it is necessary to remove the fixed front wheels before attaching the swivel wheel attachment. In an alternate embodiment, a lawnmower includes an extended front end for housing a pair of swivel wheels, and having means for individually adjusting the height of each swivel wheel.
