If possible, you should avoid buying a second-hand or used lawnmower part.

It might be less expensive, but you’ll end up with more problems than you started with. It doesn’t hurt to pay a little more for quality work and service. It is not a sensible idea to use non-brand products for your lawnmower parts. They may be less expensive, but they are not always of the highest quality. Also remember that using an off-brand part will most likely void any warranty you have on your mower. So if you buy a Honda lawnmower, use Honda parts for any lawnmower repairs. It’s not worth the likely hassle just to save a few bucks.

If something seems too good to be true, it often is, so beware of any company that offers to sell lawnmower parts at a significantly reduced cost. The parts may be defective or it may be a scam. Although it is a little more expensive, it is a good idea to deal with a giant company or the company where you originally bought your mower. They have taken the time to build a credible business and are much less sure of exploiting the bosses.

Lawn mower blade sharpening

Sharpening your lawnmower blades is a reasonably easy job that you can do simply and quickly. Disconnect the power supply to avoid serious injury or death, in case the mower could be accidentally started. If your lawnmower is electric, make sure it’s unplugged and remove the spark plug if it’s a gas engine. Number the blades as you remove them to make sure you put them back in the correct position when you’re done.

If there are counterweights attached immediately to the blades, do not hide them. Work on each blade individually, holding it firmly in place using a vise. Take a grinder or file along the contour of the blade to sharpen it. Be very careful checking that the sharpening is done to your liking, as this should bother your fingers. Replace the prepared sharp blades along with the balance weights if you probably removed them.

By following these simple steps, you can keep your mower blades terribly sharp yourself. I think this article will help you make a decision.
