Great write-up.
From my experience:
The 1/2" shaft on your mower is pretty frail and if you hit a big object (rock, brick, etc) you'll bend the shaft, so take care.
If you can rig up a GFI to your mower, it will provide a much needed margin of safety. I made my entire exterior plug circuit GFI, so it was already done.
Keep your eye open for a 3600 rpm elec motor, it really makes a difference. Best Regards,
