Abstract
A lawn mower (2) is moveably supported by wheels (14) and (16). Wheels (14) and (16) are eccentrically mounted on front and rear link members (24) and (28) which are respectively joined together in pairs by through axles (30). Two flexible cables (32) and (34) transmit this rotation from one front link member (24) to one rear link member (28). One of the link members (24) and (28) is coupled by a flexible cable (80) to a selectively operable control (60) for effecting manual rotation of all of the link members (24) and (28). This effects a change in the height of the wheels (14) and (16) relative to housing (4) simultaneously.
