Mower Service & Repair in Hempstead, TX

Service your mower at least once a year, more if it runs hard on rough ground. Sharpen blades before they go dull, not after your grass looks shredded. Change oil and filters on schedule, the same way you would on a truck. Check belts for cracks and glazing, and keep the deck clear of built-up clippings. Mowers working pasture edges, ruts and stumps wear parts faster than a flat suburban yard. If you're not sure where your machine stands, bring it by the shop for a look. Call the store to get started.

A mower tune-up covers the basics that keep it cutting clean. That means an oil and filter change, a fresh or sharpened blade, and a look at the belts and deck for wear. The air filter and spark plug get checked too. A clogged filter or fouled plug causes a lot of rough-running engines. If your mower's been working pasture edges or uneven ground all season, the deck and spindles get extra attention. That's where ruts and stumps do the most damage. Bring your mower by the shop for a tune-up.

Yes, the shop handles mowers that won't start. Most no-start problems trace back to old fuel, a weak battery, a fouled spark plug, or a clogged carburetor. Mowers that sit for a few months over winter are especially prone to gummed-up fuel lines. Bring the mower in. The shop can work through the ignition, fuel and electrical systems to find the problem. Don't keep cranking on it if it won't turn over. That wears down a starter or battery for nothing.

Blades and belts wear out first on a mower that works rough ground or pasture edges. Ruts, stumps and buried rocks dull a blade fast, and can bend a deck if you hit something solid. Belts glaze and crack sooner on uneven ground, where the deck works harder to hold a level cut. Spindles and bearings take a beating too, especially on ground that's never been smoothed out. Keep an eye on your blade edge and your belts between services. Swap a part at the first sign of wear, instead of waiting for it to fail mid-mow. The parts counter stocks the pieces that wear first on rough ground, so ask which spares to keep in the shed.

Getting your mower serviced before mowing season picks up is a good idea. Grass takes off fast once the weather warms, and a mower that sat all winter needs a look before it goes back to regular work. Old fuel, a dull blade or a loose belt all show up fast once you're mowing every week instead of every month. Bring it in before you need it every weekend. Don't wait for the first missed cut. The shop can go through the engine, deck and blade, and get ahead of problems before they turn into a bigger repair.
