An electric mower includes: a body; a battery on the body; a cover including: a back wall backward of the battery; and a left side wall and a right side wall each extending forward from the back wall, the cover covering at least a portion of the battery; at least one motor drivable by the battery; and at least one controller disposed between the battery and at least one of the left and right side walls and configured to control the at least one motor.

A center knife drive for a sickle of a plant cutting machine having an upwardly facing cover and at least one output element reciprocatingly movable by the drive above the cover for moving a knife of the sickle in a sideward reciprocating cutting action, including at least one cleaning flap in connection with the output element positioned and configured for reciprocating forward and rearward movement thereby, disposed above the cover and configured for cleaning loose material therefrom during the movement and for pushing the loose material from the cover to accommodate upward movement of the drive within a space below or in a floor of the machine, clearing the material from the path of the output element, and improved heat dissipation.

The article of manufacture is a sulky with a unique fender. The fender has an opening with a door place over the tire. On one end of the opening is a hinge that is attached to one end of door. At the other end of the door and opening is a latching assembly. This enable the door to be closed and latched during mowing and to be easily opened when the operator wishes to clean the debris that has collected between the tire and the fender. The latching assembly is an over center draw latch consists of a hook attached to a pivotally mounted lever. The pivotally mounted lever is attached to the fender. On the door is an opening into which the hook is designed to fit. When debris builds between the fender and the tire the operator stops the sulky and opens the door for cleaning.

An oil drainage apparatus for a lawn mower including a tapered semi-cylindrical upper funnel having a semicircular top surface and a semicircular bottom surface. A semicircular bottom edge of a semi-cylindrical lip is attached to the top surface of the upper funnel. A semicircular top area of a semi-cylindrical middle funnel is attached to the bottom surface of the upper funnel. A semicircular top end of a tapered semi-cylindrical lower funnel is attached to the bottom area of the middle funnel. A substantially U-shaped channel is continuously disposed from the lip to the lower funnel. A crimp protrusion is medially disposed on the lip. A screen is disposed within the interior cavity between the bottom surface of the upper funnel and the top area of the middle funnel. The lip removably extends around a lower portion of a lawn mower oil drain plug.

An agricultural harvesting machine is described. In one example, the machine comprises a header, a feed system configured to feed material from the header through a threshing section along a conveyance path, the feed system including a conveyance mechanism that conveys the material from the header to a rotating feed mechanism, and a drive system configured to rotationally drive the feed mechanism during a first state to convey the material along the conveyance path, and to reverse rotation of the feed mechanism during a second state. In one example, a drive system comprises first and second drive mechanisms, and a coupling mechanism configured to selectively couple one of the first or second drive mechanisms to an output mechanism, such as, but not limited to, a rotating feed mechanism in an agricultural harvesting machine.

A scraper for removing debris from the bottom deck of a lawnmower is disclosed. The scraper has a serrated blade at a distal end of an elongated handle and straight edge blade on a first and second side of the serrated teeth blade.

A blade rotor includes a mowing disc, at least one mowing blade, at least one bearing pin mounted on the mowing disc for the pivoting support of the mowing blade, a spring plate arranged on a bottom side of the mowing disc for holding the mowing blade on the bearing pin, and at least one scraper for removing residue stuck on the cutter bar, wherein the scraper is arranged between the spring plate and the bottom side of the mowing disc and is mounted detachably on the mowing disc between the bearing pin and an axis of rotation of the mowing disc.

A lawnmower including: a mower deck defining a volume; a driving element configured to drive a cutting implement within the volume; a plurality of wheels supporting the mower deck; and a handle extending in a rearward direction from the mower deck, wherein the mower deck defines a first radial length A.sub.1, as measured from a central vertex of the cutting implement to a front lip of the mower deck, and a second radial length A.sub.2, as measured from the central vertex to a lateral lip of the mower deck, wherein an aspect ratio of the first and second radial lengths [A.sub.1/A.sub.2] is at least 1.05, and wherein a tip distance, as measured between the front lip of the mower deck and a nearest part of the cutting implement when the cutting implement extends in a forward-rearward direction, is at least 1.5 inches.

An electric mower includes: a body; a battery on the body; a cover including: a back wall backward of the battery; and a left side wall and a right side wall each extending forward from the back wall, the cover covering at least a portion of the battery; at least one motor drivable by the battery; and at least one controller disposed between the battery and at least one of the left and right side walls and configured to control the at least one motor.

A mower includes a chassis, a tractive element coupled to the chassis, and a mower deck coupled to the chassis. The mower deck includes a housing, a cutting element rotatably coupled to the housing, and an electronic commutation (EC) motor coupled to the housing and the cutting element. The mower also includes a control system configured to operate the mower deck in a cutting mode where, during the cutting mode, the EC motor is controlled to drive the cutting element for cutting grass, and operate the mower deck in a debris clearing mode where, during the debris clearing mode, the EC motor is controlled to drive and then abruptly stop the cutting element to generate a shock through the mower deck for clearing grass accumulation between the housing and the cutting element.
