Abstract
A lawnmower handle assembly is disclosed for manually-starting lawnmowers in which the starter rope handle is retained by the bale lever. The rope handle is preferably retained by an aperture in the bale lever, with the starter rope passing through the aperture. The handle assembly enables the starter rope handle to be more accessible to the operator during starting, and decreases the time required for the lever to engage an ignition or blade stopping mechanism when the lever is released.
