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: Can you tip a lawn mower on its side?

• <div><p>Yes, you can tip a lawn mower on its side as long as you turn it with the carburetor side upwards. This prevents oil from leaking into the carburetor and reducing performance. You can also tip the mower backward as long as it's stable while you're working on the deck or blades for safety.</p></div>

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

• <div><p>In many cases, it might be cheaper to repair your lawn mower than to replace it, depending on what needs to be repaired. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-lawn-mower-cost.htm">The cost to replace a lawn mower</a> dramatically varies, from <b>$60</b> for basic models to over <b>$15,000</b> for the top-of-the line models. </p><p>Small repairs like a spark plug replacement can be as little as <b>$20</b>, so replacing the whole lawn mower wouldn&rsquo;t make much sense. However, repairing a crankshaft could be much more expensive at <b>$500 to $900</b>, so depending on the age of your mower, it might be best to replace it. It&rsquo;s best to speak with your lawn mower repair technician to determine which option is best for you. </p></div>

Q: Do I need to lubricate my mower blades?

• <div><p>It's a good idea to lubricate your mower blades and mowing deck with something protective like WD40 that prevents rust and helps stop grass and dirt from sticking to the blades and deck.</p></div>
