John Regier of Moundridge, Kansas is credited with developing the first zero-turn lawn mower in 1963; he called his first mower The Hustler, because the zero-turn technology greatly reduced traditional mowing time. Due to the lack of initial interest in zero-turn lawn mowers, Regier eventually sold his patent and design to the Hesston Corporation, located in Hesston, Kansas, which would eventually become Excel Industries. Excel Industries is the parent company of Hustler Turf, which manufacturers Hustler zero-turn mowers.
In order to obtain and be the proud owner of the non-existent zero turn lawn mower one must first obtain a simple old plain lawn mower and modify it for optimal speed.
I'm partial to Walker mowers. Their biggest disadvantage is price.

Depends on the size of the mower.
Exmark is best!
Zero turn lawn mowers can be either a riding lawn mower or a push lawn mower, depending on you're preference. Push lawn mowers start around three hundred dollars.
Zero turn mowers are riding lawnmowers. The design and features offered by a zero turn mower do not really translate into anything that would work well for a push mower. Several brands, such as John Deere and Snapper, offer zero turn (riding) mowers that are designed specifically for residential use.
What kind of lawn mower are you changing blades on?
When you're looking for a zero turn mower, you want to take a few things into consideration. Since you're obviously getting this mower for a very specific feature, you want to make sure the rest of the mower supports that main feature you're looking for. As such, you want to make sure that you are buying a zero turn mower that has as little bulk as possible. This is because many people that buy zero turn mowers are buying them because they're not working with a lot of space. A bulky mower does nothing but exacerbate this issue even further.
