My Dad use to start the mower with his drill back in the late 70s...
he ground down the end of a socket extension to fit in the drill, I can remember it nearly pulling my arms off (9/10yr old kid) & the words I got told, " Bet that hurt & Bet ya won't be doing that again" 70s Dad OHS regs.

Such is life....... Nothing better than a "GreenField" just mowed..
