Lawn Tool Repair questions, answered by experts

The cord you pull to start a lawn mower is commonly called the “starter cord” or “pull cord.” This uses and internal combustion process to start the lawn mower engine and it prone to wear and tear over time. You’ll want to check the starter cord as part of your regular lawn mower tune-up process.

Lawnmowers require seasonal maintenance 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:

  • Replace the spark plug

  • Change the oil

  • Drain the fuel tank

  • Clean the mowing deck (ideally, after every mow)

  • Replace the air filter

  • Check the carburetor

  • Sharpen the blades

  • Fog the engine

  • Check the tires

Whether it is cheaper to repair or replace your lawn mower depends on the specific issue, the mower's age, and the potential costs. The cost to replace a lawn mower can range from $60 for basic models to over $15,000 for high-end ones. In contrast, small repairs like a spark plug replacement can be as little as $20. However, more significant repairs, such as a damaged crankshaft ($500-$900) or a blown engine, can cost hundreds of dollars. Some people follow a 'three-year rule,' opting to replace mowers older than three years rather than repair them. For a clear decision, it's best to consult a lawn mower repair technician who can assess the damage and provide an accurate quote.

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.

There are a few reasons why a lawn mower cord won’t pull, including an engine jam, a tangled cord, a broken recoil starter, or poor maintenance. To troubleshoot, turn the mower off. Then, inspect the cord, look for any tangles, and gently pull it to identify where the resistance starts. If you’re not seeing any obstructions, you may need to call in a professional for repairs.
