    摘要: A lawnmower includes a frame, a pair of drive wheels, a front axle assembly, a first caster wheel, a second caster wheel, a first rod, a second rod, and a mower deck. The pair of drive wheels are coupled to a second end portion of the frame. The front axle assembly includes a bar pivotally coupled to a first end portion of the frame about a pivot axis. The first caster wheel is coupled to a first lateral end of the bar. The second caster wheel is coupled to a second lateral end of the bar. The first rod is coupled between the frame and the first lateral end of the bar. The second rod is coupled between the frame and the second lateral end of the bar. When the bar pivots about the pivot axis, the first caster wheel and the second caster wheel move relative to the frame.

    摘要: Outdoor power equipment includes a frame, a power head, a hydrostatic transmission, a pair of rear drive wheels, a drive chain, and a wheel height adjustment mechanism. The hydrostatic transmission includes a drive gear configured to rotate about a first axis. The pair of rear drive wheels are coupled at respective ends of a rear drive axle, wherein the rear drive axle is operably coupled to a driven gear. The pair of rear drive wheels, the rear drive axle, and the driven gear are configured to rotate about a second axis. The drive chain is operably coupled to both the drive gear and the driven gear. The wheel height adjustment mechanism includes a first bell crank pivotally coupled to the frame about the first axis, with a first end of the first bell crank being coupled to the rear drive axle.

    摘要: A mower includes a pair of drive wheels, a pairs of non-drive wheels, and a mower deck. The mower deck includes a central deck housing, a first blade housing, a second blade housing, and an actuator coupled to the central deck housing and at least one of the first blade housing and the second blade housing. The first blade housing is pivotally coupled to a first side of the central deck housing so as to be angularly displaceable relative to the central deck housing, the second blade housing is pivotally coupled to a second side of the central deck housing so as to be angularly displaceable relative to the central deck housing. The actuator is configured to selectively raise and lower at least one of the first blade housing and the second blade housing relative to the central deck housing.

    摘要: A zero-turn radius lawnmower includes a chassis having a rear frame, a crossbeam, and a subframe, and a battery receptacle for receiving a battery pack. A first rear suspension cradle is rotatable coupled to the crossbeam on a first end, and is movably coupled to the first side panel on a second end. The first rear suspension cradle supports a first electric motor configured to rotate a first drive wheel supported by the first rear suspension cradle. A second rear suspension cradle is rotatably coupled to the crossbeam on a first end and movably coupled to the second side panel on a second end. The second suspension cradle supports a second electric motor configured to rotate a second drive wheel supported by the second rear suspension cradle. The first rear suspension cradle and the second rear suspension cradle are independently rotatable relative to the rear frame.

    摘要: Outdoor power equipment includes a frame, a power head, a transmission, a pair of rear drive wheels, and a wheel height adjustment mechanism. The power head is coupled to the frame. The transmission is coupled to the frame and operatively coupled to the power head. The transmission includes a drive rotatable member configured to rotate about a first axis. The pair of rear drive wheels are coupled at respective ends of a rear drive axle so that the rear drive axle, and the pair of rear drive wheels coupled thereto, rotate about a second axis different than the first axis. The wheel height adjustment mechanism includes a first bell crank pivotally coupled to the frame about the first axis. A first end of the first bell crank is coupled to the rear drive axle.
