capture then in a live trap and sell them. after warning the neighbor of course
What about one of those motion sensor sprinklers?
Ask the neighbors to keep them away from your home and also tell them that its not your responsibility if something happened to them while your using riding mover. or just lock them in your home and release them once your done with riding mover
Are they attracted to the mower because it's warm? Or does it have a padded seat they like?
I like the tarp idea suggested above.Max
At least you won't have mice, which is a much bigger problem than cats.
People with cats do not "own" their cats. The cats own them.
It always seems funny that people who do not own pets somehow feel the animals care givers are able to tell them to stop catching birds, digging in someone else's garden or sleeping in a comfortable place.
Does the cat like to sleep on the seat?
If that is the case, make the seat less attractive with a 5 gallon bucket. Maybe put some moth balls in a porous container on the seat.
The trick is to think like the cat and help it to decide there is some place else they would rather sleep. Maybe a secure, comfortable spot that they can be enticed into using with a little cat nip.
One of the cats that came with our house likes to sleep in our greenhouse at times. To keep her from curling up on top of a flat of plants I placed a cushioned mat in an empty flat and she now sleeps in it.

Try one of these. We bought one to keep our cat off the counters and table. It senses the cats and lets out a harmless burst of pressurized air. Cats don't like it. It automatically resets and is ready for the next cat.Attachment 261559
For the cat people out there, here's the DWs two cats.
Ragdolls
They both sleep on the bed every night + the 60 lb. Irish setter
