Bottom Line
Sooner or later everything breaks or wears out, and lawn mowers are no different. Many of us are mechanically inclined enough to fix our lawn mower as needed by purchasing replacement parts. Keep in mind when searching online that some of these real bargain places are offering used parts that may or may not have been reconditioned. Beware of unscrupulous dealers offering dirt cheap bargains, as you may receive a replacement part as worn as the one you have. Name brand dealer direct parts prices are generally much higher than purchasing through a parts retailer.
