This is a question for all the people that have beautiful lawns. I live in Michigan (Detroit) area and I was wondering when I should first fertilize my lawn and then how many times after that and which months? Also, which brand fertilizer should I use?
Answer
The paradox is that fertilizing and constant watering makes your lawn weak. A weak lawn is prone to weeds which means you put down more chemicals etc. etc. forever and ever. Here's the thing a lawn needs a good root system. To develop a good root system it needs to look for food. By looking for food the roots get stronger. Okay think about it, if you had to look for your food before you ate it, wouldn't you be in better shape than sitting in your Barcolounger sucking down pizza and beer. Same with the lawn, if you spoil it, not good. Also to keep weeds down mow as high as you mower lets you, the weed seeds will be shaded off in the taller grass and not sprout. As to lime, once a year send some soil samples to your agricultural extension service and they will send you a free report on what the soil needs as to fertilizer and lime. In the summer when it is not raining do not cut the lawn, it will stay green if you leave it high. If the top turns brown no problem cause you will have strong roots. I fertilize once every 4 years or so, last year I only had to cut the grass 5 times. I love it. And it is green.

Answer
Read all the way through. might save you some time.
assuming it's a briggs and straton motor.
1.you empty the gas from the mower
2. Remove the gas tank
3. remove the Pull start housing usually about 8 bolts
4. remove the Magnetic housing from around the fly wheel
5. remove the Flywheel nut from on top the fly wheel
6. Use a gear puller, one used for cars. Usually the Harmonic balance puller works best
7. use a little hammer and a flat head screw driver and tap out the old Key
8. replace with New Key
9. put the fly wheel back in, Noting the grove on the inside must line up with the Key way to go back in properly
10. Put the fly wheel nut back on. tight.
11. replace the Magnetics and adjust. A match book cover is almost the perfect distance. Place one between the magnetics and the fly week. adjust the magnets so that the match book cover can be pulled out but not flopping about. good snug fit. tighten it all up.
12. Put the Pull start housing back on
13. Carb and gas tank
Put some gas in it and PULL..
Oh yeah.. most likely. your Key on the flywheel is not your problem. Might want to take off the blade on the Lawn mower and use that gear puller to pull that blade rest off. there is a Key there too. That key is the most likely to sheer because of hitting a stump or rock or something hard. It will also throw off the balance of a mower and stop it from running smoothly.
