Abstract

A rotary lawnmower includes a dish-like body defining the chassis of the lawnmower. The dish-like body has an upwardly extending side wall and a substantially continuous bottom wall. A set of wheels are mounted on this dish-like body. A motor is mounted in the body so as to cause the free end of the motor drive shaft to penetrate the bottom wall. The free end of the motor drive shaft is adapted for carrying a cutting blade thereon. A cover interfaces with the dish-like body to conjointly define therewith a housing enclosing the motor.
