Servicing the lawn mower

It's 7 years since i started using this lawn mower, and it's trouble-free even today!



I meet people very often whose lawn mowers fail after 6 months.
Why is that?


I prefer petrol-powered lawn mowers to electric ones,
because of their little engines,
And I also love the smell of petrol
😎



TodayI'm going to do some cleaning up and maintenance,
 in addition to the usual oil check-ups.
Although the spark plug is fine after7 years, i'm replacing it with a new one 
Part number is RJ19HX






Lately I notice the grass is getting a little brown after cutting.
This inspite of fertilizing and watering regularly.
Reason - the blade is blunt.
I can either replace the blade (if I can find one easily)
Or sharpen the existing one.
Part number is 942-0741A


Meanwhile, I have very close friends
Who've come to watch me.
"This is my work table my dear.
I need to put the lawn mower on it please?" 
😄



Easy to work underneath the mower when it is placed like this
Also, the oil and petrol won't spill
Remember to unplug the spark plug


Here's the blunt blade


Since I'm presently unemployed, I'm going to sharpen the blade
Instead of buying a new on
Because it costs less, I have the time, and the motivation to fix it!


Also cleaning the air filter


With air 



All set to mow the lawn again!
