Extend the Life of Your Lawn Mower?

A simple way to extend the life of a lawn mower is to keep it clean and maintained. After mowing, remove debris and grass from the outside of the mower, which can cause rust from moisture, and be sure to wipe up any oil or gas spills off of the mower, which can cause damage to the finish on the mower. Check the wheels and clear these of grass as well. Be sure to keep debris from getting into the gas tank so that the motor always runs properly.
