Last Sunday, I gave the lawn its first cut of the season. I was very pleased when the lawn mower started first time.
I took these before and after pictures, which, in fact, don't do the after justice!
It got me thinking about looking after my lawn mower, so I contacted the local supplier, from where the mower was bought, in a former life. To service it, they wanted £130 pounds!!!!!!!!!!! Apparently this is not excessive. Well to me it is.
So, I have been doing some research: basically, I should change the filter, top up the oil, change the spark plug and possibly get the blade sharpened. I don't have the manual anymore, so am trying to find info on line. Once I know where things like the spark are and how to get to them, I should be well away.
Today, I have topped up the oil. It took a bit of asking around, but I have now established that I have a 4 stroke mower and have bought the correct oil.
I have just cut it again and it is starting to look lovely - although have not taken photos this time.
Learning a bit every time - am now using the shorter cut setting.
