Lawnmowers
are usually composed of several parts, each with a particular job in making the entire machine work. This makes mowers
simple and complex at the same time.
Simple because being familiar with each of them makes replacing each part easy as long as one knows what needs to be changed.
They are also complex because it takes a competent mechanic to know where a particular part goes and to service the machine.
Don?t worry though, because if you?re just an ordinary lawnmower owner, we?ve listed for you some of the basic parts of a lawnmower.
1. Blade
This is where metal meets the grass.
The blade is responsible for cutting the grass and doing it neatly and evenly.
Depending on the mower
, it can be made of materials such as steel, aluminum and plastics.
You can also have more than one blade, it all depends on the size of the cut that the mower
makes.
2. Engine
If you don't have a push type reel mower
you have an engine that runs your lawn mower
. The simplest type is like the image. It will be a 3 HP or more.
In the image you can see that the oil pan is taken off and the crankshaft is sitting horizontally, but when it mounted it will be vertical. With a blade hub on the end with the blade mounted to the hub.
Now that is the simplest way it is done. But, that is not the only way that is used, most of the push type mowers
are set-up like this.
3. Handle
This is the part of the mower where you have the most control, for the human-powered ones at least. When buying this part, make sure to get that which is made of sturdy parts like stainless steel or any lighter alloy and fitted with rubber to prevent your hands from slipping.
4. Wheels
Helps in moving the lawnmower
, especially for large ones. They can be made of different materials depending on the type and size of lawnmowers. For example, small, push-type lawnmowers are usually equipped only with plastic wheels while larger ones like the ride-on types have steel wheels.
