I am hoping to share my expertise which I have gained from working on small engines as others need it and look forward to learning from others expertise when working on my projects.
I picked a Troy Bilt 675 Series Self propelled mower, Problem is you have to be a track star to keep up with it's pace/speed. It travels so fast I can't cut a straight path. I'm sure my neighbors get a kick out of watching me, I would think it was pretty funny if I was watching them.

Thinking out of the square and mainly because we don't get that model, down here.
Have you considered a sulky or a roller with a seat.
Idf the extra weight does not slow it down, at least you won't be run off you feet keeping up with it.

675 series is a 21 inch self propelled mower. Sulky wouldn't work very well with it due to lack of traction.

Thanks I'm open to all options.
I have used a Velcro strap to limit the self propel engagement with some success, but it won't propel at all when I go the the longer front lawn.

Could you post a picture of the mower so I can determine which type of drive system you have?

you are going to have to change your ratio some how. Maybe a smaller drive pulley or a larger driven pulley?
