Thanks. I appreciate your comments. Mower came with our place and my wife had a stroke.. She loved mowing with the joy stick and it helped strengthen her hand and arm. Other than a terrible gear box, it has been a good mower. She is sorry to see it go.. I think she can handle a steering wheel now.. Thank You.
A reasonable tech should be able to replace the wires in 2 to 3 hours tops
So that is 3 hours labour + the cost of the loom.
This will be cheaper than getting the old one repaired .
If your wife can not manage a wheel Country Clipper make a single joystick machine and the joy stick can be fitted either left or right side
It is specifically made for people who have a dissability.
Last season was the first time I saw one and 3 of my customers who have a problem with an arm are now happily cutting their own grass .
