ABSTRACT:
An improved vehicle frame and cutter assembly lifting mechanism for a riding lawn mower. The frame includes a pair of oppositely opposed support rails extending along a substantial portion of the vehicle frame, a rear support member fixedly secured to the rear end of each of the support rails, a front support member fixedly secured to the front end of each of the support rails, a rear motor deck rotatably connected to the rear support member, a front wheel assembly connected to the front support member, a rear wheel assembly connected to said rear motor deck, an articulating pantograph type lifting mechanism for supporting a mower cutter assembly, and an actuator connected to the articulating pantograph type lifting mechanism for extending and retracting the mower cutter assembly between a cutting position proximate ground level and a fully retracted position. The rear motor deck is provided with a pair of extension arms which are secured to a frame axle that is rotatably retained within the rear support member. The mower is also provided with a kill switch assembly that disengages an electric clutch to remove drive power from the cutting blades when the mower cutter assembly reaches a predetermined height above ground level.
