ABSTRACT:
A lawn mower has a striping roller assembly rotatably attaching a striping roller to a mower deck of the lawnmower. The striping roller assembly includes a mounting bracket connected to the mower deck, the bracket having a top arm that extends from the mower deck in a generally horizontal direction. A roller arm is pivotally mounted on the bracket at a pivot connection. A height adjusting rod attaches to the pivoting roller arm to permit the operator to select different height settings for the striping roller assembly, wherein the height adjusting rod passes through an opening in the top arm of the bracket and is slidable relative to the bracket. A U-shaped connection member having upper and lower legs is positioned such that the upper leg is above and the lower leg is below the top arm of the bracket. A spring biases the U-shaped connection member so that the upper leg is forced toward or against the upper surface of the top arm of the bracket. The assembly further includes a collar on the upper leg, wherein an upper end of the height adjusting rod has a plurality of height-adjustment holes passing through the rod and the collar also has a hole, wherein one of the holes in the rod is aligned with the hole in the collar and a pin is inserted through the holes to fix the collar to the height adjusting rod.
