Lowe’s home improvement expert, Mike Kraft, explains the best ways to maintain the health of your lawn. In Part 1 of this lawn care series, learn how you can evaluate your lawn for problem areas. If there are bare areas, prepare for spot seeding. Or, if you want to protect and strengthen your lawn, try overseeding. Make sure that you rake the top soil before you add the grass seed. For overseeding, make sure that you dethatch dead grass and mow your lawn first. Next, aerate your lawn with a lawn aerator to allow the grass seeds to penetrate the soil.

**Always follow the instructions in your repair manual when doing repair or maintenance work on Outdoor Power Equipment. Manuals can be found at the manufacturers website.** Most people check for proper engine spark by removing the spark plug, attaching the plug wire and grounding the plug to the engine while spinning the engine over and looking for a spark to jump across the spark plug gap. This method is not always reliable. The amount of voltage needed to jump the spark gap set at .030″ with the plug removed from the engine is about 2000 volts. The amount of voltage required to jump the same plug gap with the plug installed in the engine and operating under operating conditions is about 8000 volts, so it is possible to see a spark with the plug removed, but not have a spark with the plug installed. A more reliable method is to remove the spark plug wire cap, and hold the spark plug wire approximately 3/16″ away from the spark plug and spin the engine over. A good ignition system will produce a orange/blue spark from the end of the spark plug wire to the spark plug. The problem with this method is it is easy to get shocked and hard to turn the engine over while trying to hold the end of the plug wire 3/16″ away from the plug. The benefit of this method is it is more reliable then the first method and doesn’t require purchasing any special tools. Another method for checking the ignition for proper spark is to purchase the Briggs & Stratton Spark Tester, part #19368. This

www.gopherforum.com – Instead of distributing 5000 lawn care flyers at once, how about this scenario. You distribute 500 lawn care flyers to a concentrated area once a week for 10 weeks. Each of the 10 lawn care flyers is slightly different but they all have your name and number. Your fewer prospects see your lawn care marketing material 10 times and remember you and call you as you build credibility. Your response rate is gonna way out-perform the first scenario. And your cost is almost identical. Not to mention how much more efficient you will be if you are mowing all your yards in a 5 mile radius on the same day (instead of spending 20 minutes driving from one stop to the next.) I say give your lawn care marketing a real effort and tweak what doesn’t work until it does work. What about with your lawn care website?

**Always follow the instructions in your repair manual when doing repair or maintenance work on Outdoor Power Equipment. Manuals can be found at the manufacturers website.** The subject of this video is how to change the engine oil and oil filter on a Kohler V-Twin Engine found on a Craftsman GT5000 Garden Tractor. The engine oil capacity is 1.7 – 1.9 quarts, and Kohler recommends using a multi viscosity, detergent type motor oil with a API SG rating. The Kohler OEM Oil Filter part number is 12 050 01. The engine should be cleaned and brought to operating temperature before the oil and filter is changed. If the engine can’t be cleaned, than at least clean the area of the engine involved in the oil change to prevent any dirt from entering the engine. Bringing the engine to operating temperature will help the used oil flow better and any impurities in the engine are more likely to flow out with hot engine oil. After the engine is cleaned and brought to operating temperature, than the next step is to find the oil drain plug, remove it, and let the old engine oil drain out of the engine. After all the engine oil has drained out of the engine, reinstall the drain plug. With the oil drained and the drain plug reinstalled, than find the oil filter and remove it. Not all engines found on lawn and garden tractors have a oil filter, so this step can be skipped if your engine doesn’t have a oil filter. After the oil filter is removed, than clean the oil filter adapter. Apply a light
