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: What do you call the cord you pull to start a lawn mower?

• <div><p>The cord you pull to start a lawn mower is commonly called the &ldquo;starter cord&rdquo; or &ldquo;pull cord.&rdquo; This uses and internal combustion process to start the lawn mower engine and it prone to wear and tear over time. You&rsquo;ll want to check the starter cord as part of your regular <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-tune-lawn-mower.htm">lawn mower tune-up</a> process.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my lawn mower can handle leaves?

• <div><p>A standard home lawn mower with sharp blades can handle a thin layer of leaves without issue. You may need to make a couple of passes within several days to mulch leaves down, but your mower shouldn&rsquo;t struggle. If your mower comes with a mulching kit, like an attachment to blow leaves out the side, that&rsquo;s a good sign it&rsquo;s ready for fall leaves. Set your mower to the highest or near-highest height for this project so it focuses on the leaves rather than the grass below.</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>

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>

I called at 12:08 pm and a repairman was already in my area on another repair. He was here and had my microwave repaired and was gone by 1:10 pm the same day. He showed me what failed which was 3 microswitches. Very friendly and personable as well as professional.
