Exmark mowers offer legendary durability, and Exmark mower parts are the reason! If you’re looking to extend the life of your mower, you’ll want to pay attention to the parts that need revitalization. Mike Mayfield, a product manager at Exmark, explains best practices for caring for your mower. Mayfield reminds users that you’ve “invested in a product you love,” and that product comes with some essential maintenance responsibilities.
Regular Mower Maintenance
You already know that there are a few checks that are standard for your mower and can be done at your local Exmark dealer. As a reminder, they include engine checks and hydraulics checks. Engine checks include air filters, oil filters, spark plugs, and more. Hydraulics checks include ensuring there’s fresh oil to properly cool everything down and keep those parts lubricated.
Revitalizing Your Mower
Revitalization includes work that isn’t necessary but is important to prioritize when you can. This includes bumpers that might have experienced wear (in rear-discharge models), anti-scalps (on side-discharge models), cutter housings, and even cosmetic changes like decals and seats. While there are industry-leading housings and bearings, as Mayfield explains, “based on conditions, things wear out.”
How Do You Know When to Revitalize?
There are a few ways to tell when you might want to revitalize your mower. The first, and most obvious, is the hour meter, which your operator’s manual can help you keep track of. The second, and less obvious, method is listening to the machine and watching it. If your mower sounds different, if it’s performing differently, if the cut quality is different, or if something’s wiggling, those are “dead giveaways” that something needs to be worked on.
From decals to seats and cutter housings to anti-scalps, every Exmark mower part can be adjusted and revitalized so you know you’re operating at the highest capacity possible. Whether you need mechanical or cosmetic mower parts, be sure to contact your local dealer who can get you just what you need and repair the mower for you. Or shop online through “shop local” to directly order parts and have them shipped right to your door!
