How do you change oil in model no 917376741 craftsman walk behind mower?

On my Craftsman Lawn Mower, I have to raise the lawn mower or tilt it on it's side, and underneath where the blade is, there is a large drain plug. Take it off and catch the oil. This is a great time to clean the underside of your lawn mower and either sharpen or replace your blade.....Nothing cuts better than a sharp blade!

How do you sharpen a lawn mower balde?

A lawn mower blade can be sharpened with a blade sharpner. Any major hardware store can do this for you. You remove the blade and clamp it to a flat surface. Then you use an angle grinder to sharpen the edge using the original angle as best you can. Safety glasses are always necessary as this is dangerous to your eyes.

How do I replace the blade on a Weed Eater 20 Inch Lawn Mower?

Get some leather gloves and a socket wrench set. Lean the mower over by raising one side so you can gain access to the blade. Be careful not to pour out any fluids. Work from the side of the mower that has the grass discharge (the right side). With something holding the mower at a tilt, grasp the blade with a gloved hand and loosen with the correct socket the nut under the blade that is in the center of the blade. As you loosen the nut, the blade will begin to lower. Be careful that you do not lose any of the mechanism, and notice the way it fits together. Just replace in reverse, but a tip is to put a little bit of grease (very little) on the threads of the bolt that holds the blade. Tighten well. I frequently take off my blade and sharpen it. Are you sure that it needs to be replaced? Can it be sharpened? Remember: "Lefty, loosy; righty, tighty."
