- This is what I do and do not recommend anyone remove safety features , this is what I do only. Do not do this . This is purely for entertainment proposes and I will not be held liable if you disregard my notices so do not do this , you may harm yourself or others. Do not do this one more time. How's that for a disclaimer. Cheers
I recently got an old Lawn Boy 2 cycle that someone broke the throttle lever on, so they jerry-rigged the safety bar to act like a throttle. I think the mower has actually been running with the engine brake permanently on, lol. It's getting converted to this setup over the weekend, plus a new carb and spark plug. Thanks for the tip!
👍
Very clean setup with the switch to shut off the mower. I don't like that bail either as your hands start to ache after awhile holding the thing in. Have a good one Steve!
Thanks Terry and it seems nobody likes the setup at all. Cheers buddy.
i can't stand the control bar. On the model I have you have to hold down 2 bars (one to start it and one to operate the self propel mode). I mowed lawns for decades (even when I was 10 years old). I never had a need for a control bar, I am very careful. Now I am older and have arthritis, it is painful and uncomfortable having to grip both bars. Thanks for posting this video.
San , my hands just don't like holding on the bars either so for me I'm able to do without and yes I've been cutting grass for over 50 years and never needed the control bars back in the 60's or today 😅😅 Cheers
One of the better mods I've seen to eliminate that cable. Nice job!
Thanks Lloyd it works great but think safety. Cheers buddy
Growing up in the 60s-70s, we never had this crap on a mower. No primer bulb-no cable brake. Just a good old-fashioned throttle and choke. Very few people lost limbs because of it!
Tom today we are living in a world were common sense on how to operate anything is sold to humans as if we just can't figure out anything for themselves. We can figure it out but you have one asshat trying to sharpen a mower blade while it's running changes the world forever because there wasn't a blade stop . 😅
Being unsafe is the only way you get injured.
Unfortunately many people lost limbs or were otherwise injured by lawn mowers which is why mowers nowadays have these safety measures in place. Since there are so many morons on Earth they decided to add some safety features to prevent future lawsuits. All big manufacturers have been repeatedly sued for people getting injured using their products whether they were in the wrong or not. They just want to save themselves a headache.
Thanks Steve! nice way to by pass that annoying stop.
Safety third right. LOL
HAHA! yep!
I was a scratching my head thinking of incorporating a manual pull cable to turn it off This idea is better !
I have done it both ways but the switch is my favorite. Cheers 👍
ya buddy keeps your hand from going to sleep on the handle, cheers brother Steve
Thanks buddy and it's totally against the law but that's how I roll. LOL
Awesome video man. I use a hose clamp on my mower to keep that stupid handle up. What a pain it is to have to fart around with it. You've motivated me to finally mod mine. Take care my friend.
Sounds great, get at her. Cheers !!
Thanks for the tip! Hate this on my hypertough mower!
👍
Great Idea There Buddy! I might do this to my mower only with a toggle switch. I love the way your mower started right up, That was cool!
Thanks John the toggle switch works great as long as it returns to a open position for the next start and your not pulling your arms off and then remember to turn the switch. LOL
kool mod, i hate that safety handle, i use a velcro strap on the one we had
Ha yes everybody finds a way to work around it. Cheers buddy...
Nice mod there Steve. That other set-up would drive me nuts for sure.Thanks for showing us. Nice to know others find some of these safety feature are nothing but a PITA. Doug
Thanks buddy and it seems the engineers and government think we don't know how to cut grass without injuring ourself but I bet some need the safety feature and chew gum at the same time. LOL
LOL I'm glad that I'm not the only one that hates them. it's on there for a good reason if your mowing on hills, but they are a hassle though. LOL I used a big zip tie on mine. Or a rag works good too. Looks good great job. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe
Hi Cary and yes everybody seems to detest that safety design. What's the sense of a design if nobody will use it. I think mower manufactures were mandated to do this and they just thru something out. LOL
Nice & professional looking! I use a bungee cord to override the safety.
I see a lot of bungee cords too. It seems nobody wants to conform to the design. I think they will start giving fines now. LOL
Tie a rag on mine or a toggle switch.Great Video like Always.
Thanks buddy and it seems everybody finds one way or another. Cheers
Thank you, Steve. Sorry, but I am going to do this lol. With the help of my son. My mower is older and not necessary to have killer switch either. From: Tenacios Lady..lol
👍
Oh boy, doing this literally when I wake up tomorrow.
Safety bar is cancerous.
Man that's a nice modification. I like this kind of stuff!
Thanks Wyatt and I too enjoy doing these kinds of mods. Cheers buddy.....
This is awesome, exactly what I needed.
That was pretty cool, I haven't looked that far into it yet but I may have to
Thanks buddy glad to of been a help.
i'm going to have to take mine apart now, maybe next week. I never worried too much about it since my yard is so small but that's a cool mod
+Bullshitkorner seems everybody likes it, would make a good vid to show.
i may do that and give you full credit if i do
I don't like the setup either I always take it off. I like your idea of the momentary switch better than the way I do it. I always use a toggle switch.
Hi John both switches work great you just have to remember to turn it on your way. Take Care Buddy
The mowers here don't need that safety stuff...Running over a house brick slows 'em down pretty good to.
I hope you filmed it. LOL
That is a great tip Steve ! 👍
Thanks Norm , glad to be of help. Cheers
About 4 years back I almost cut the end of my finger off when I decided to unclog the chute and not let go of the safety bail while the mower was running. I was in a hurry and trying to prevent the mower from stalling because of the wet grass clogging up the discharge. The blade is very close to the edge and I found out the hard way. Dumbest thing i have ever done in my life and very painful.
Wow that's a nasty bit to deal with for sure. Seems we always learn the hard way , me too. Man I could make a lot of vids telling the stuff I did that would curl your hair and put me in jail. LOL
That's about as dumb as trying to clear a snow blower chute while it's running ! LOL ! Hell we all do dumb things !
+Billy R Yes sir Billy we all do stuff sometimes that you never forget and chuckle years later . Cheers
STEVE ROB i kept the work glove that i was wearing at the time and now has a slice through the forefinger. You may see it in the background in some of my videos, hanging on the wall over the left side of my garage workbench. I keep it there as a reminder....not to be in a rush which causes accidents. I now know most lawn mower blades spin about 1/4- 3/8" of an inch to the outer edge of the deck. Lesson learned
+Ozzstar And I bet your children learnt all about it too. Heading for my visit tomorrow. Leaving at 7am.
Great idea. I always find away to pinch my fingers it them safety rods. Hate them.
Thanks and they should have rethought the design better. Cheers buddy
awesome, awesome idea man! Great vid!
Thanks Adam , sure beats paying $65 for a cable that will seize up again. Cheers
so, attaching to anywhere on the coil gives the same effect?
One side of the coil is used to ground and this removes the spark. My other mower has a connector at the end of the bail handle cable at the engine and it went to the coil so I didn't have to remove the engine shroud. They all work on the same principal. Cheers
I've been mowing lawns with safety deletes for years, I have all my body parts
It's amazing how we survived eh :)
Right. I got a snapper once. OMG, the safety features. takes 5 minutes to engage the features to get to mow. Heaven forbid you see a rock and stop. Takes all day to mow. LOL
Neat modification.
Thanks buddy !!
You need a label for your switch...If experiencing pain or discomfort in toes or feet, Push Button for Relief
Good idea buddy. LOL
Nice vid Steve!
Thanks Rick, something different. Take care
Great idea
Thanks , works for me. Cheers
Neat Tip Braddahu!!
Thanks
Safety features are dangerous! I get rid of them too.
Ha have you looked at the safety warnings for a step ladder lately, man they must think we're all crazy with the warnings of what not to do with a ladder. Cheers buddy take care.
get a goat. You can do the same mod but they get real grumpy if you ground their coil
HAHA plus their hard to pull start. LOL
The safety police will be coming to see you ;)
Haha I have enough disclaimers to sink a battle ship. LOL
yup good fix for a pain better then starting it every time
Thanks Drew.
That's as cool as the shirt your wearing...nice mod!!
Thanks Wyatt, Indy north haha. Cheers....
Is there a cab with a heater on that race car? Get's a tad nippy up your way.
+wyatt earp we race up here with snow tires :)
Now that's funny!!
You look like you're old enough to remember when this type of lawnmower did not have the engine brake/kill switch. What has happened since then?
Yes I am and since then manufacturers have insisted that humans cant cut their lawn without safety devices without injury but interesting enough I continue to survive .😂 Cheers Ben
Cool
Thanks Terry , it's actually hot up here today. Must be 75 deg. smokin hot for sure.
Cool, I just ground my plug with a screwdriver.
Yep that works too .
Nice!
Thanks buddy !!
You didn't show me how to disable a lawn mower stop cable permanently. You showed me how to stop the mower once the stop cable cable has been disabled...do you have that video?
If you take a look the stop cable at the engine its very easy to figure out but there are so may different designs it would be impossible to put out a video that would work for all. Cheers
Clave that works too.
@Clave 13 I like the momentary switches better so it's always ready to start the next time needed . Your on/off switch will do great too.
Don’t do as I say don’t do a I do 😅
LOL quite the disclaimer eh !!
Disabling a safety feature hahahaha 30fps?
Yep , looks good Eh.
looks great
+RICKAFIX filmed in 24 fps and uploaded at 30
nice..decrease upload time by how much?
RICKAFIX I went from 2hrs for a 20 min vid to 25 min.
Cool!
Kill switch on a pusher! LOL
Thanks Justin...
excellent idea
Thanks David .
have a wells on me!
David Bondurant HAHA more like two buddy I always have Wells in pairs.
there is another excellent idea!
