Lawn Mower Repair Shop Near Me

When it comes to finding a dependable and quality lawn mower repair shop, you often have to do some searching to seek one out. Many small engine and lawn mower repair shops have closed their doors permanently as they aged and retired and the big chain stores have hurt the smaller businesses as well.

This is why this website was created. It gives people a place to come and find a local lawn mower repair professional. Finding the right shop for you is important. You might not be able to bring your lawn mower to the shop and you need the shop to come to you. There are mobile lawn mower repair shops as well as brick and mortar stores that are here to assist you.

Each season you should have your lawn mower serviced and if you use your lawn mower more frequently, it should be serviced twice a year. The oil must be changed every 25-50 hours and items such as the blades need sharpened, the spark plugs, oil, fuel and air filters need to be changed as well.

Lawn mowers operate in some very dirty conditions and must be taken care of and maintained well. You can find a lawn mower repair shop near you by visiting our Locations page.

Riding Lawn Mower Makes a Thumping Noise When Running

Are you hearing a thumping or vibration type of noise coming from under the lawn mower chassis? Is it a steady noise or does it get worse when you are driving the mower?

Let’s think about this for a minute. When the riding lawn mower is running, the drive belt is turning. The drive belt increases in RPM when you move the throttle up and down. When the throttle is set to lower RPM, the noise might be louder because the engine noise is less and may be less apparent when the RPM is higher.

What most likely is going on is that you have lost a piece out of the drive belt and when it rolls over a pulley, it creates this thumping sound. If you hear multiple thumping sounds, then you know that there are several pieces missing out of the drive pulley.

There could also be a problem such as a bearing is going out on a drive pulley or the pulley itself could have a flat spot in it or a piece broken out of it. Carefully check all the pulleys and bearings and if they are suspect, replace them.

I hope this helps you find out what is causing the thumping noise in your riding lawn mower and that you resolve it. If you need a lawn mower repair shop, visit our Locations page for help today.

My Riding Lawn Mower Won’t Move

Is that riding lawn mowers wheels locked up or will it not move when you put it into gear?

If the wheels are locked up, check the brake system to ensure that you don’t have it engaged. That is the most common problem with a locked up lawn mower. If that does not solve that problem, check the be sure that you are not in a gear or that the hydrostat is in the neutral position.

If the lawn mower won’t move, check to see if the drive belt has come off the pulleys or if it is broken. Also check that the tow rod is engaged. These two items will solve most of the problems with a lawn mower that will not move. It is a possibility that the transmission is broken or slipping.

Transmission problems are more difficult to diagnose and you should consult a professional to resolve this problem. There are many different types of lawn mower transmissions, from simple gear drives to sophisticated hydrostatics.

Riding Lawn Mower Maintenance

Maintenance is one of the most important things you can do for your riding lawn mower. Without the proper maintenance, your lawn mower will suffer from an early breakdown.

Most breakdowns can be prevented by your normal routine maintenance. Things like having the battery serviced every year, changing the air, oil and fuel filters as well as changing the oil. A riding lawn mower is a machine and like any other machine, parts will wear and eventually break.

To avoid these costly breakdowns, you should take your riding lawn mower to a repair shop and have it serviced each year. The best time to have one serviced is in the winter months when the shop is slower and you won’t have to wait very long for the service to be completed.

During the winter most shops are not rushed so you should receive a better quality service than you would when they are backed up weeks in advance.

You can find a list of riding lawn mower repair shops on our locations page.

Maintaining anything is important to keeping it running its best. A breakdown in the summer months can be a long wait to get your mower back.

 

My Riding Lawn Mower Won’t Stay Running

If your riding lawn mower won’t stay running, that does mean that it will run so we can take a lot from that. If it does run that means the starter is working, it is getting fuel and spark and air into the engine.

Now that we know what it is doing, why won’t it stay running?

Let’s say that you mow for a while and then it slowly loses power and then dies. This would be an indication of a fuel problem and the engine is running out of fuel. It could be your fuel cap is not venting correctly or some debris is in the fuel filter or other reasons why it is running out of fuel.

If the lawn mower just suddenly dies, it most likely is an ignition problem. An ignition coil becomes hot and then it breaks down and quits working. Other ignition components can break down and quit working as well.

The best thing to do is to start looking for clues. Is the engine getting fuel? Is the engine getting spark? Does it restart after sitting for a while?

Troubleshooting is a process of elimination. If you need help with your riding lawn mower, visit our locations page today.
