General Information About Mowers

Mowers come in a wide variety of styles. There are also plenty of accessories available that can modify or change the use of mowers. Tractors, snow blowers, leaf blowers, baggers — all variations on a theme: convenience!  Save yourself labor and time by investing in the right lawn mower for your household and your yard will thank you for it!

Mower Parts

Mowers have many parts that may need to be replaced sometime during the mower’s lifetime. It’s important to become familiar with the parts and accessories that are associated with your mower.

Here is a partial list of important mower parts: mufflers, snow thrower parts, tires, tubes and wheels, trimmers, compressors, engine parts, electrical and welded parts. Other parts include: ball joints, battery parts, bearings and bushings, blades, pulleys, simplicity parts, switches, seats/covers, solenoids, gas caps, manuals, lubricants, blade tools, belts, tractor tires and accessories, paints, safety accessories, ignition coils and battery parts, throttle, carburetors, small engine starters, steering parts and the very important mower deck.

Manufacturers of Mowers and Mower Accessories and Parts

Not all manufacturers build an entire mower; some do parts only. Here is a partial listing of manufacturers that have earned the trust of the industry: Ariens, AYP, Briggs & Stratton, Campbell Hausfeld, Devilbiss, Emglo, Generac, Honda, John Deere, Kawasaki, Kubota, MTD, Simplicity, Snapper, Tecumseh, Murray and Kohler. Although some of the companies manufacture parts only, they are important because they offer replacements and design advancements that improve mowers as a whole. 

Customer Service

Always, always pay attention to a manufacturer’s customer service policies when you are thinking about purchasing a mower or any mower accessory or part. Many manufacturers provide excellent service long after the sale by including tune-ups, oil, belt and filter changes, and replacement of certain parts. Some companies can even help you sell your used mower and offer the same kind of service to a new owner, making the mower an excellent investment for either party. It’s important to know how easily you can get replacement parts and whether or not those parts can be interchanged with ones from another company — another convenience issue. Just do your homework and an excellent mower product will be your reward!
