Lawn Tool Repair questions, answered by experts

Sometimes dark smoke trailing out of your lawn mower is the result of excess oil. It smokes as it burns off. Other times, it could signal a problem with the combustion or contaminated fuel. If changing the fuel and cleaning your mower doesn’t help, call a professional (especially if the smoke is white).

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.

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

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.  

Before your lawn mower quits working entirely, it’ll likely give you some signs of wear and tear that indicate a repair is needed. Signs that you might need repairs to your lawn mower include: 

  • Oil leaks

  • Vibrating engine

  • Smoking exhaust 

  • Increase in time to mow

  • Unusual noises

  • Increase in gas consumption
