When the yard is too large for a push mower, your character needs something he can ride!

The OBJECT action is used to approximate the position of holding the steering wheel. To make hands look like they are gripping the wheel, I created a very small object for him to hold in each hand ... so if you use a different character on the mower you may need to do something similar . Note that when the character looks around, the hands move too, so minimize head movement or he'll be driving with his hands off the steering wheel, which is dangerous. Nobody wants that. ;-)

If you don't like the John Deere coloring scheme, you should be able to change the colors to whatever you like

The sweatshirt's HOOD is a neck attachment that can be removed if you don't want it, or recolored if you want a different outfit on the mower dude.
