  • / electric deck height adjustment, has anyone done it on a 54" Mustang?
Before I take on the task, I am wondering if anyone has added an actuator to adjust the deck height?
I have had 3 back surgeries and yet I still would like to mow my lawn.

I had been mowing with a 42" Wizard mower I converted to radio control back in 1996 and now after 23 years
the engine is smoking and low on power so rather than put a new engine on a old mower I have bought a 54" Mustang.

I am still wanting to be able to mow with some comfort so I have started making changes to the Mustang.

I have added a suspension seat and that made a huge difference in the ride.

Next project, the deck lift handle is not in a good place for my back condition.
So, I am thinking about adding a actuator so I can move it up or down with a button on the dash.

I have a few ideas but no need to re-invent the wheel if it has already been done, so if you have done it already, your happy with it and you don't mind sharing how you did it. I am interested.
