Abstract: A self-propelled lawn mower and sulky device. The self-propelled lawn mower comprises handle bars and an operator console that are positioned between the front end and rear end of the lawn mower. A securing bar and a placement bar are designed and situated an a angle to one another to appropriately position the handle bars and operator console. The sulky device comprises an operator platform, a pair of sulky arms, a pair of caster wheels, and a hitch bar. When the sulky device is mounted to the self-propelled lawn mower, a first hinge means is used for attaching the operator platform to the hitch bar, a second hinge means is used for attaching the hitch bar to the lawn mower, and a third hinge means is used for attaching the caster wheels to the sulky arms.

Abstract: Provided is a sulky in which an operator platform is attached to a hitch arm through the interconnection of a vertical pivot tube and an essentially C-shaped clevis. The vertical pivot tube is secured to the clevis by a vertical pivot pin and hinge. The clevis counter balances and leverages the forces and loads that are applied to the vertical pivot pin while the sulky is in operation and, thereby, prevents the unnecessary anomalies and structural failures of the vertical pivot pin. Alternate embodiments detailing alternate clevis configurations are also presented.
