Spring and summer mowing season can be a busy time. To save money on costly lawn mower repairs, it is a good idea to keep a schedule of your lawn mower maintenance so you can keep your lawn mower engine in top shape and keep your lawn looking great year after year. Your mower engine is important to the life and performance of your equipment.
Here are some easy steps you can follow by season to keep your lawn mower in top shape. Follow the seasonal or hourly intervals, whichever comes first. More frequent service is required when operating your lawn mower in dirty or dusty conditions. For specific questions about your Cub Cadet, Husqvarna or Huskee mower engine, refer to your owner’s manual, contact the manufacturer, or visit your local Tractor Supply Co. store.
When to change oil in your lawn mower depends on when you are ready to start mowing your grass. Using old oil can damage your lawn mower engine and is not recommended.

Changing the air filter as often as recommended by the manufacturer can also increase the life of your engine. Advice about how to replace the air filter in your push mower or riding lawn mower include:
Gas can go stale and get dirty from sitting dormant. Dirty or stale gasoline can crate engine problems and cause your lawn tractor or push mower to idle roughly or cause the engine to stall.
Spark plugs can be a simple and inexpensive solution to why a mower engine is not starting. Replace spark plugs as often as is recommended by the manufacturer.
When the cold weather of fall and winter arrives, it is time to winterize your lawn mower. Prevent damage to hoses and gaskets caused by changes in temperature by adding or replacing key fluids and following these steps:
