If possible, you should avoid buying a second-user or used mower part.
It might be less expensive, but you will end up with more problems than you had in the beginning. It doesn’t hurt to pay a little more for quality work and service. It is not a delicate idea to use non-brand products for your lawn mower parts. They may be less expensive, but they are not always of the highest quality. Also remember that using a non-brand part will most likely void any warranty you have on your lawn mower. So if you buy a Honda lawn mower, use Honda replacement parts for any lawn mower repair. It’s not worth the likely hassle just to save a few bucks.
If something sounds too good to be true, it often is, so be wary of any company that offers to sell lawn mower parts at significantly reduced cost. The parts may be faulty or it could be a scam. Although it is a bit more expensive, it is a good idea to deal with a giant company or the company where you bought your lawn mower in the beginning. They have taken the time to build a credible business and are much less sure of exploiting customers.
Sharpening mower blades
Sharpening your lawn mower blades is a reasonably easy job that you can do easily and quickly. Disconnect the power source to avoid serious injury or death, in case the mower could accidentally start. If your mower is electric, make sure it is unplugged and remove the spark plug if it is a gas engine. Number the sheets as you remove them to make sure you put them back in the correct position when you are done.
If balance weights are quickly attached to the blades, do not disassemble them. Work on each sheet individually, holding it firmly in place using a vise. Take a grinder or file along the contour of the blade to sharpen it. Be really careful when checking that the sharpening is done to your satisfaction, 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 mower blades terribly sharp yourself. I think this article will help you make up your mind.
