Does your Lawnmower have the Shakes?

If your lawnmower is shaking or vibrating excessively it should be addressed immediately! Not only is it extremely dangerous but you can also further damage your mower. Good news is that in most cases it is an easy and inexpensive fix. The most common cause of excessive vibration is a loose or unbalanced blade. Remove and inspect your blades and replace if necessary. An easy way to check if the blade is properly balanced is to hang the blade from a horizontal nail in the wall, but we recommend spending $5 on a blade balancer from your local hardware store. Another cause of vibration is loose engine mounting bolts; most of these are accessible on the underside of the deck. While your checking the mounting bolt check for any other loose bolts and components. Worst case scenario is a bent crankshaft. If the shaft is indeed bent it may not be cost effective to fix.  If you have any other questions feel free to contact us www.fullthrottlerepairs.com
