Keeping your mower blades balanced is an important part of lawn care that can help your mower run more efficiently, cut more evenly, and last longer. When mower blades are unbalanced, they can cause the mower to vibrate excessively, which can lead to damage to the mower deck and other components. Unbalanced blades can also cause the mower to cut unevenly, leaving your lawn looking patchy. Balancing your mower blades is a relatively simple task that can be done with a few basic tools.
There are a few different ways to balance mower blades. One method is to use a blade balancer. A blade balancer is a tool that holds the blade in place while you spin it. If the blade is unbalanced, the blade balancer will wobble. You can then use a hammer to tap the heavy side of the blade until it is balanced. Another method for balancing mower blades is to use a bubble level. Place the bubble level on the blade and spin the blade. If the bubble is not centered, the blade is unbalanced. You can then use a hammer to tap the heavy side of the blade until the bubble is centered.
