Maintain Your Mower!
You might have taken care of a mowing or two already this season, but spring is a great time to take care of your mower so it can take care of your lawn all summer long!

Blades
Sharp blades make for healthy grass. You want them to cut, not rip! Sharpen or replace them before the frequency of spring mowing picks up.
Spark Plugs
Replacing spark plugs annually is a cheap, simple way to keep your mower in top condition. Refer to your owner's manual.
Air and Fuel Filters
Again, it's good practice to replace air and fuel filters. For most common mowers, these are inexpensive and easy to replace on your own.
Tires
If you have a rider, are the tires inflated, with good tread? Inflate them to the proper PSI and replace when necessary.
Fresh Fuel
Did you put a fuel preserver in your fuel container last winter? If not, that fuel is probably not fresh. Don't put stale fuel in your mower!
Lubrication & Cleaning
Many riding mowers have lubrication points. You can find a chart in your owner's manual. If you don't have a grease gun, here's an Amazon pick that gets the job done:
While you're lubricating, it's the perfect time to make sure your mower is clean. Wipe down painted areas and check for any rust damage.
