How do I start my lawnmower with little effort?

Hire a teenager Ask a neighbor Ask a family member Ask a passer-by on the street Tell me where you live and if I'm in the neighborhood, I'll start it for you.

Easy as pie. Just say "Honey, it is time for you to mow the lawn again."

I had cataracts removed and replaced with lenses last year and no mention was ever made about lifting weight.

I think you should rather NOT want to mow. If anything to be avoided, it would be the dust and pollen and crap the mower will kick into the air that might get in your eye. Hire the neighbor kid.

I rested my eyes for about two days, indoors, and after that was good to go and do anything. There's drops for the eyes on a schedule that lasts about 40 days. You're doing that, right?

I didn't have to mow, I was lucky: it was wintertime.

Tend to agree with the above. And IDK how hard his mower is to start, mine sure doesn't take a pull equivalent to lifting 25 pounds. Simplest thing is probably to pay someone to cut it for awhile.

Get a neighbor kid to pull the rope.

You'll need a couple rubber tarp-tie-things - just find them along the roadside. Duct tape them to your lawnmower's pull-cord ; and hook the other end to your garage door - Ta - Da ! electric garage door opener does all the work ! Red

The mowing is as bad as the starting. I'd be hiring the job out for a while.

Don't have a wife, an electric garage door closer, nearby neighbors, or local teenagers, but thanks for the suggestions. Guess I'll just have to watch the grass grow for awhile.
