LOL sorry wrong group

Is it the wrong group? ;^D

The mounting bolts for the blades on most mowers gets hard to remove because of corrosion. Use WD-40 on the threads every time you pull it off to sharpen it and it should be sharpened whenever you see any tearing of the grass instead of a clean cut. This will reduce brown spotting.

Personally, I dislike mulching blades as they are a bear to sharpen because of all the twists and turns that, supposedly, mulches the clippings. If you decide to buy one, be ready to pay more for sharpening or buy a small angle grinder and a blade balancing cone so you can do it yourself. Also, your bagging attachment will not work as well or not at all. . . .no airflow from the blade.

Back when I was a teen, I just mowed in an inward spiral pattern that threw the clippings onto uncut grass then the standard blade recut them over and over. By the time I got to the middle, there was but a handful left to scatter on the new mown lawn.

The surging could be moisture in the fuel, dust and dirt in air cleaner or just needing a good tune up. If it's moisture, a tablespoon of HEET will clear it up. Don't let it go too long or it can damage the carburetor.

LOL I don't know about the right group for mower help, but you did find an old mower mechanic anyway. VBG

Glad to help.

Hey, Dodge people are always helpful!!! :-) Lorne

Also, IIRC, the bolt that holds the blade in place on my mower is

If you look down at the top of the engine, in the US anyway, and the flywheel rotates clockwise, then it's a right hand thread bolt.
