spoke too soon...

Considering my last posting: it turns out there's a low-tech solution to the "short people cannot drive this lawn mower" dilemma. By removing the springs under the lawn mower seat, we can trick the seat sensor to think someone is always sitting on the seat. Thus, I'm now able to use the lawn mower without a problem. Without seat springs, the ride isn't exactly comfortable. But if it eliminates the need for litigation, then I'm all for it!
