Whether you're mowing your own land or running a full-time landscaping business, these are the mower parts most likely to wear out during the season:
1. Blades
Dull, bent, or nicked mower blades can lead to uneven cuts, stress your mower’s engine, and damage your turf. If you notice frayed grass tips or ragged lines, it's likely time to sharpen or replace your blades.
Pro Tip: Keep a spare set of blades in your shop so you can swap them out quickly and avoid downtime.
2. Air Filters
Dirty air filters choke your engine and reduce performance. If your mower is sputtering or losing power, a clogged air filter could be the culprit.
Clean or replace air filters regularly — especially during dusty West Texas mowing sessions.
3. Fuel Filters
Old fuel filters can cause starting issues or sluggish performance. Replacing them is quick and cost-effective, and keeps your mower running efficiently.
4. Belts
Cracked, frayed, or loose belts can impact your mower’s drive system and blade rotation. Listen for squealing sounds or sudden power loss to your deck — those are red flags.
5. Spark Plugs
If your mower is hard to start or misfiring, bad spark plugs may be to blame. Swapping these out is an easy fix that can dramatically improve performance.
6. Battery
If your mower turns over slowly or not at all, don’t overlook your battery. Heat, time, and vibration all take their toll.
Ask our parts team to test your battery — we’ll let you know if it’s time for a replacement.
