Lawn Mower Service Log
Keep a mower running past its fifth year, by tracking the three things that actually kill them: stale fuel, a blocked air filter and neglected oil.

Outdoor machines
Mowers, saws, generators, washers, compressors and tractors — hour-based servicing and the part numbers you can never find.
Small engines nearly all fail for the same three reasons: stale fuel, a blocked air filter and neglected oil. These sheets are built around those three, with a specification block so you stop looking up the same plug gap every spring.
Sheets in Outdoor machines
Chainsaw Maintenance Log
Keep the chain and bar specifications where you can find them, and track sharpening and servicing between them.
OM-02 2 pages
Generator Service and Run Log
Make sure a standby generator actually starts when the power goes out, by recording the monthly exercise runs that keep it alive.
OM-03 1 page
Pressure Washer Maintenance Log
Protect the pump, which is the expensive part and the one that dies from frost and from running dry.
OM-04 2 pages
Air Compressor Maintenance Log
Record the tank drain that protects against internal corrosion, and keep the servicing history for a machine that holds pressure.
OM-05 1 page
Small Engine Service Log
Give every small machine in the shed the same maintenance record, using one sheet per machine.
OM-06 1 page
Tractor Service Record
Service by hours rather than by date, which is how tractor intervals are actually specified.
OM-07 2 pages
Outdoor Machinery Winterising Checklist
Do one pass through everything with an engine before the cold, so nothing needs a carburettor rebuild in spring.
OM-08 2 pages
Hedge Trimmer Service and Blade Record
Stop a trimmer being run with blunt, loose blades and a dry gearbox, by giving the blades their own record instead of burying them in general notes.
OM-09 1 page
Leaf Blower and Vacuum Service Log
Catch a chipped impeller and a blocked bag mesh before they turn into vibration and lost blow, and keep the filter and part numbers where they can be found.
OM-10 1 page
Machinery Winter Storage Record
Know in spring where every battery, drain plug and machine actually is, and whether it started, instead of finding out the hard way on the first fine day.
OM-11 1 page
Ride-On Mower Service Log
Service a ride-on by hours rather than by guesswork, and stop a deck belt or a spindle bearing being the thing that ends the season early.
OM-12 1 page
Strimmer and Brushcutter Service Record
Keep the right guard going on with the right head, and the line size and blade bore written down so the wrong one is never bought again.
OM-13 2 pages
Stump Grinder and Tooth Record
See at a glance how many teeth went on and when, and catch loose pockets and bolts before a tooth leaves the wheel at speed.
OM-14 2 pages
Wood Chipper Service and Blade Log
Know when the blades were last turned or sharpened and what the clearance was set to, so a chipper that starts to labour is fixed at the blade, not the engine.
OM-15 2 pages
Snow Blower Service and Shear Pin Log
See which winter the scraper bar went and how many shear pins the auger has eaten. The part numbers sit at the top, so the right shear pin is bought, not a bolt that happens to fit the hole.
OM-16 2 pages
Log Splitter Pre-Use and Hydraulic Check
Catch a weeping fitting, a sticking lever or a chipped wedge before the splitter is started. The back keeps the fluid, filter, hose and wedge history by hours.
OM-17 2 pages
Robotic Lawn Mower Care Log
Know where the wire runs and where it has been joined before the next break. Blade changes, firmware and battery behaviour are kept season by season alongside.
OM-18 2 pages
Reel Mower Bedknife and Height of Cut Record
Set every cutting unit the same way, and prove it with a height measured at both ends. Streaking or an uneven cut can then be traced to one unit, not the whole machine.
OM-19 2 pages
ATV and UTV Pre-Ride Check Sheet
Give every rider the same check before each ride, a column a day. A soft tyre or a sticking throttle is then found in the yard rather than on a slope.
OM-20 1 page
Fuel Can and Stabiliser Log
Know how old the fuel in each can is before it goes into an engine. Guessing is how a carburettor ends up being cleaned in spring.
OM-21 2 pages
Golf Cart Battery Watering and Hydrometer Log
Spot the weak battery, or the cell that keeps reading low, before it drags the pack down.
OM-22 2 pages
Hydraulic Hose Inspection and Replacement Record
Know which hose is which, what is printed on it and when it was last looked at. A worn hose is then changed in the yard rather than bursting on the job.

Why Small Engines Will Not Start in Spring
Stale fuel is why most mowers, strimmers and generators fail after storage. What happens inside the carburettor, and the two storage methods that prevent it.
