- Replacing spark plugs or air filters
- Cleaning or repairing the carburetor
- Sharpening or replacing mower blades
- Replacing worn drive belts
- Repairing starter or self-propel systems
- Changing oil and fixing fuel-system problems
Usually, repairing is cheaper if the repair costs less than about 50% of a comparable new mower.

- Replace: Better when the engine, transmission, or deck has major damage, repairs are frequent, or the repair approaches half the price of a new lawn mower.
