The grass is starting to grow and I haven't serviced the mower yet.
Apart from changing oil and filter, a general check and clean, and a
blade sharpen, what else do other owners do? I have some slop in the
steering, which seems to be caused by the fit of the steering pinion
in the quadrant, although there doesn't seem to be much wear. Can the
lower steering shaft bearing housing position be adjusted to minimise
the slop?

Recently I cleaned the air filter on my mower, and it's transformed
from a pig to start to a pleasure to use. Never thought there was an
air filter, never mind that it needed a clean!
