Lawnmower Parts
Cutting
the grass is one of those chores that homeowners either love to hate or
rush home after a busy day to relax while cutting horizontal lines into
the lawn. There is a certain pride that comes with having a fresh cut
lawn, trimmed edges and a nicely manicured yard. It looks good and
smells even better and it motivates every surrounding neighbour to step
up and
primp their yard. Some people live in areas that require bi-weekly
grass cutting and others can put their lawnmowers away for a good part
of the year.
At the beginning of each cutting season be sure to drain old
gasoline and refill with some fresh( and now more expensive)fuel. Be
sure to service your lawnmower regularly with a fresh oil change, also
replacing or cleaning lawnmower parts like air filter and spark plugs.
Lawnmower blades usually need to be removed and sharpened on a yearly
basis. By inspecting
your lawnmower blade regularly, particularly after running over stones
or stumps, you will be able to determine when blade sharpening should
occur. This inspection will also help notice if your blades are loose,
sometimes a result of lawnmower blades that have been damaged. It is
also a good idea to inspect the lawn itself for debris and stones and
take note of obstacles and stumps.
Did
you know?
It has been recorded that stones can be thrown from a lawnmower at
approximately 200 miles per hour.
Another good lawnmower part to check over is the lawnmower wheels. Due
to the continuous stress from pivoting around the rear wheels on every
turn the lawnmower tires are prone to cracking and often become loose.
Kmart lawnmower wheels are available at the department store near you
and have a wide selection for most models sizes. See manufacturers like
Craftsman, Toro, Snapper, Honda, and Murray for lawnmower parts
specific to the make of your lawnmower.
