Tip of the day: If your riding lawn mower tires seem to leak air you can use some soapy water in a spray bottle to find the leaks!

Spray the tire with soapy water and it will bubble where the leaks are. Most commonly, the tires leak due to dry rot cracks.

If the tread is still good, you don’t have to replace the tire. The tires are tubeless from the factory, but installing an inner tube cost significantly less than replacing the tire. Then, the tube holds the air and no worrying about any potential future leaks.

We have inner tubes for a variety of different size tires in stock and offer inner tube installation!

Another heat wave! Don’t forget to check the oil in your lawn mower before each use!

Engine failures due to lack of lubrication are 100% preventable!

Small engines are different from the engine in your car in many ways. One differences is in how the engine cools. Most small engines are air cooled. The fan on the flywheel is blowing air passed the cooling fins when the engine is running. When it’s hot out, this can affect your engines ability to cool itself.

Oil also does more than lubricate the engine. Oil also cleans and cools the engine. Dirty oil does not lubricate, clean, or cool the engine as well. It is also not uncommon to experience a little oil consumption in the hot summer months and may require adding oil to the engine.

This engine has a broken connecting rod due to being run on low oil.
