Fall Lawnmower Care

Despite the recent warm weather we’ve been having, many of us have mowed our lawns for the last time this year. Servicing your lawn mower now will make it easier to start in the spring, plus our lives are usually a little busier in the spring. The first thing to do is change the oil; I don’t like to leave dirty oil in my machine all winter. Next, drain the gas and then start the mower on choke to get all the fuel out of the carburetor. If you choose not to drain the fuel tank, make sure to fill the tank full with fresh fuel and treat with a stabilizer like STA-BIL or Seafoam. Clean or replace the air cleaner and spark plug. Lastly, remove the blade and have it sharpened and balanced.

We stock all the supplies you need and our award winning staff is here to help you.
