How do I keep my lawn mower working correctly?

• <div><p>Lawnmowers<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/8-maintenance-tips-keep-your-lawn-mower-running.htm"> require seasonal maintenance</a> to continue working correctly. With routine maintenance, you can extend its life to the fullest, which is around 10 years for push mowers and 5-8 years for riding mowers. To keep your lawn mower working correctly, you’ll want to take the following steps at least once a year:</p><ul><li><p>Replace the spark plug</p></li><li><p>Change the oil</p></li><li><p>Drain the fuel tank</p></li><li><p>Clean the mowing deck (ideally, after every mow)</p></li><li><p>Replace the air filter</p></li><li><p>Check the carburetor</p></li><li><p>Sharpen the blades</p></li><li><p>Fog the engine</p></li><li><p>Check the tires</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How do I know if my lawn mower can handle leaves?

• <div><p>A standard home lawn mower with sharp blades can handle a thin layer of leaves without issue. You may need to make a couple of passes within several days to mulch leaves down, but your mower shouldn&rsquo;t struggle. If your mower comes with a mulching kit, like an attachment to blow leaves out the side, that&rsquo;s a good sign it&rsquo;s ready for fall leaves. Set your mower to the highest or near-highest height for this project so it focuses on the leaves rather than the grass below.</p></div>

Q: How long do reel mowers last?

• <div><p>If you keep it clean and sharp, your reel mower should last for about 10-20 years. In comparison, the lifespan of most self-propelled lawn mowers is about half as long as that.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain my lawn mower?

• <div><p>Regular oil changes, blade sharpening, fuel system cleaning, and air filter replacements help extend mower lifespan.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to fix a lawn mower pull cord?

• <div><p>Replacing a lawn mower pull cord yourself should only cost you the supplies, which comes to around $25. For more complex repairs, you&rsquo;ll need to get a quote from a local lawn mower repair shop.</p></div>

Called them in May of 2020 and never received the courtesy of a response, despite a couple of follow up phone calls. It is extremely disappointing because they were our go-to plumber for a few years, not to mention they installed the piping that needed to be repaired. We ended up having to go...
