The mower\u2019s manual should detail when to service that specific model.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"33-what-are-the-most-common-lawn-mower-repairs\">What are the most common lawn mower repairs?<\/h3>    <p>The most common lawn mower repairs include:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Tune-ups<\/li>    <li>Belt replacement<\/li>    <li>Blade replacement\/sharpening<\/li>    <li>Pull cord replacement<\/li>    <li>Carburetor replacement&nbsp;<\/li> <\/ul>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"34-is-it-better-to-repair-or-replace-a-lawn-mower\">Is it better to repair or replace a lawn mower?<\/h3>    <p>It depends on how much the mower costs and how much the repair costs. Minor repairs are typically worth it, including:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Belt replacement<\/li>    <li>Blade sharpening\/replacement<\/li>    <li>Pull cord replacement<\/li>    <li>Tire replacement<\/li> <\/ul>    <p>If you like the mower and it&#8217;s otherwise in good shape, we recommend replacing the carburetor. However, engine and transmission repairs are seldom worth it.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>If you do your own repairs and have time to spare, replacing engines on low-end push mowers and fancy riding mowers is often worth it. For run-of-the-mill models, it&#8217;s usually better to buy a new mower.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"35-when-to-hire-a-lawn-care-pro\">When to Hire a Lawn Care Pro<\/h2>    <p>Spring is in the air, and mowers begin to blare.
