You&rsquo;ll want to check the starter cord as part of your regular <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-tune-lawn-mower.htm">lawn mower tune-up</a> process.</p></div>

Q: Why did people stop using reel mowers?

• <div><p>The American ideal of a large, perfectly-manicured lawn is tied to the post-World War II suburban housing boom. In the decades that followed, technological advances made self-propelled mowers more affordable and plentiful. Many Americans came to see reel mowers as old-fashioned, inconvenient, and time-consuming, and they eventually fell out of fashion. </p></div>

Q: Is it less expensive to replace or repair a lawn mower?
