[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Electric Start Edger??

Posted: 7/8/2007 5:31:47 PM EDT

Need some help findings something,
a member of another board is looking for something to help with pull start .

I posted his request below.

any help would be appreciated.

My next door neighbor is an 82 year old widow who still likes to do her own yard work. Recently her edger quit and a daughter bought her a new one. It has a larger engine than the old one and the valves are tighter and she can't get it started because of the higher compression. I help her out as much as possible; but she is a proud old cat and wants to do things for herself. Years ago I remember seeing a number of different gizmos that you could bolt on to a lawn mower to help people who no longer had the arm strength to pull the rope. Has anyone seen anything like that recently and does anyone make an electric start edger?? Buying an electric edger is a possibility; but since her gas edger is almost new we would prefer to use it if possible. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

How about an electric trimmer and an extension cord? Edit - RIF.

I dunno, electric would probably be easiest, I've never heard of or seen those things that turn pull start mowers into electric start.

I think he wants to keep the new edger, instead of buying her a new one.

it is for his neighbor.
