A lever mechanism is provided for pivoting the frame with respect to the wheel mounting structure to thereby raise and lower the frame with respect to the wheel mounting structure and a rod and plurality of holes are provided for fixing the position of the frame with respect to the wheel mounting structure at any of a plurality of predetermined positions. The lawn mower has hand controls for controlling a wheel driving system with a motor coupled to each wheel, in which a cover is provided for covering the linkage between the hand controls and the wheel driving system to protect the linkage from various hazards.
