    Why does my McCulloch M195-42T Lawn Mower have a poor cut that is uneven?
    • K
      Kelly PenaSep 4, 2025
      If your McCulloch Lawn Mower provides a poor and uneven cut, the issue might stem from a worn, bent, or loose blade (replace the blade and tighten the blade bolt). Another reason might be that the mower deck isn't level, so level the mower deck. Check for any buildup of grass, leaves, or trash under the mower and clean it. A bent blade mandrel can also cause this issue, so replace the blade mandrel. Lastly, check for clogged mower deck vent holes and clean around the mandrels to open them.
