The most common reason for a riding mower engine to run hot is that the cooling area under the metal tins around the engine is probably full of grass clippings or mouse nesting. You will need to remove the metal covering the engine and clean it out. The flywheel has fins on it the blow air accross the engine to keep it cool.

How to Justify Buying Riding Lawn Mowers?

Every Spring, when the grass starts to grow, you haul out the push mower, fill it with gas and give the cord a brisk tug. Every year, the lawn mower fails to start. After pulling the cord over and over, for what seems to be an eternity, you finally give up and tell your self that this is the year you’re going to take the plunge and buy a riding lawn mower. Riding lawn mowers, for home use, start at about $900.00 and can cost upwards of $3000.00, depending on the brand, cutting capacity and engine strength. You also have a choice of buying a tractor type of riding mower or a zero radius mower. There are advantages to both. The tractor style riding mower is a versatile machine. If you have a large area to cut, this machine can work very well. The large wheels, powerful engine and wide cutting blade, make easy work of even the tallest grass. In addition to doing a good job cutting grass, a lawn tractor can also do other jobs around the yard. With attachments, you can do other jobs such as hauling yard debris, tilling the soil and grading a dirt road. The hardest part of using a tractor style riding mower is probably being out in the hot sun. Even though you are only sitting and not really exerting yourself, the hot sun can make the job quite challenging. To solve the problem, try to cut your lawn early in the morning before the temperature reaches its high for the day. Also, you can buy a shade that will attach to the mower and offer some protection from the sun’s rays. A zero radius style riding mower is the preferred choice of most professional lawn service crews. This machine is controlled with 2 levers, one on each side of the seat. By pulling on one handle and pushing forward on the other, you can literally turn in a perfect circle. The point is not to go spinning in circles, but to be able to maneuver more closely to obstructions like trees or fences. In addition to maneuverability, the zero radius style riding mower can cut grass at a much faster rate than a tractor style mower. The big disadvantage is that a quality zero radius riding mower can set you back $4,000.00 or more.

What weight of oil goes into a push lawn mower?

That depends. Is a manual push mower with no motor, or a motorized one? Oil is usually rated by viscosity and I would use a single viscosity oil in a mower. Multiviscosity oils have modifiers to keep them fluid under cold conditions (in a car engine) but still thick when hot. In a mower a 30w oil would be ideal. Use the cheapest oil (in the long run): Amsoil synthetic.
