What Are the Different Kinds of Lawn Mower Parts?
There are several different kinds of lawn mowers, such as riding, push, self-propelled, electric and even robotic. Each one comes with different features, like side, rear and bag loading discharge, different speeds and heights etc., however, all essentially come with the same parts.
Housings and wheels
The frame, housing and chassis will generally be made from steel, although most supporting parts are some type of resin plastic and are heat and vibration resistant. Older mowers can be made out of wooden lawn mower parts that have steel brackets. Whatever the design is, the housing will sit on an axle, which will be connected to the wheels, safely covers will be placed over all the moving parts, more so on the high speed rotating blades.
The blades
Older model mowers, often referred to a reel mowers, their blades are curved and spin in the same horizontal axis. However, the more modern rotary blades are sharper, and there are 2, and will spin on a vertical axis at high speeds to cut through grass faster, in addition to being able to cut taller and wetter grass than their conventional counterparts. There is also available a more complex blade arrangement, referred to as a multiple blade, this is made to be pulled along by a tractor; however, these are not usually used for lawns. They are more suitable for larger commercial jobs.
Power source
The source of power for reel mowers will be the person pushing it. However, the power source for rotary mowers is an engine. This can be a gas or a two-cycle engine, which uses gas and an oil mixture, or an electric one which comes with a battery or a long electrical cord. Extra parts on a lawn mower may correspond with other features, like speed, height, discharge bag attachments, and connections for operator devices like cup holders and even electronic devices.
