Can I repair my lawn mower myself?

• <div><p>If you are a skilled DIYer with experience, you can do certain lawn mower repairs yourself. However, if you’ve never worked on a lawn mower before or if your mower needs extensive repairs, it’s best to let a skilled lawn mower technician work on your machine. While it might be a little more expensive due to the cost of labor, nothing beats knowing that the job was done successfully (and often with warranties). </p></div>

Q: How often should I tune up my lawn mower?

• <div><p>Tune up your lawn mower once a year or every 100 hours of run-time.</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: 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 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>
