Mower Parts in Silsbee, TX

Maintenance parts. Blades, belts, air filters, oil filters and spark plugs are what the counter at our Buna store handles day in and day out. Batteries matter, too, especially after a mower has sat. Those are the parts that wear with every mow, so they're the ones you'll replace. Spindles and pulleys usually need replacing after a mower hits something. If you're not sure what a part is called, describe what it does and where it sits. That's enough to start the search at the counter.

Have your model and serial number ready, then send the request. Without the model number, the right part is near impossible to find. A wrong part goes out, you make a second trip, and everyone in line waits. The numbers are usually on a tag on the frame or under the seat. Snap a photo of it while you're out at the shed. Add what the part does and what went wrong with it. Then send us a parts request online. If it's easier, call the store and read the numbers off the tag.

Go by the mower, not by how the belt looks. Deck belts and drive belts can look alike and still differ in length, width and profile. A belt that's a little long slips. One that's a little short won't go on, or it wears the pulleys. On a zero-turn, the deck belt and the pump belt are different parts. Pull the old belt and bring it to the counter if you can. The part number may still be printed on it. If not, the counter matches it to your mower instead.

It depends on what you want done with the clippings. A high-lift blade has a taller sail that pulls grass up and throws it hard out the chute. It's the pick for tall, thick grass and for bagging leaves and pine straw. A mulching blade chops clippings again and drops them back in the lawn. That works best on grass you cut often, before it gets long. Either way, the blade has to match your deck: same length, same center hole. Ask at the counter which blades fit your mower's deck.

The one sized for your mower, with the terminals on the right sides. Riding mower batteries come in a few sizes, and the posts have to line up with your cables. A battery that's the wrong size may not sit in the tray or hold down. Check the label on the old battery and write down what it says. Bring the old one in if you can, since the counter can match it side by side. If your mower sat for a while, the battery may only need a charge. A dead cell means a replacement.
