Abstract
A universal remote control conversion kit including components such as a remote control, battery or batteries, electronic control unit, wheels or drive system, and caster wheel assembly. The kit may be universally adaptable to various traditional push or self-propelled lawn mowers in order to convert said mowers, or utility carts, into remote-controlled units without permanently modifying the mower or cart.
