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: Why will the lawn mower string not pull?

• <div><p>There are a few reasons why a lawn mower cord won&rsquo;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&rsquo;re not seeing any obstructions, you may need to call in a professional for repairs.</p></div>

Q: Why is my lawn mower smoking?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;t help, call a professional (especially if the smoke is white).</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>
