McCulloch M51–551 CMD Spare Parts List

To start the McCulloch M51–551 CMD Lawn Mower, make sure the fuel valve is open, the choke lever is in the 'Start' position, and the throttle control is set to 'Fast'. Pull the starter handle firmly until the engine starts and then move the choke to the 'Run' position.
If your McCulloch M51–551 CMD doesn't start, check for sufficient fuel, ensure the spark plug is not fouled, and verify the air filter is clean. Also, make sure the blade control lever is engaged.
It is recommended to change the oil every 25 hours of operation or at least once per mowing season. Ensure the mower is on a level surface and the engine is warm before draining the oil.
Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. Avoid using E15 or E85 fuels, as they can damage the engine.
To sharpen the blades, disconnect the spark plug wire, remove the blade carefully, and use a file or a grinding wheel to sharpen the cutting edges evenly. Balance the blade before reinstallation.
Excessive vibration may be due to a damaged or unbalanced blade, loose engine mounting bolts, or debris caught in the mower deck. Inspect and address these issues accordingly.
To clean the air filter, remove the cover and take out the filter. Wash it with mild detergent and water, then allow it to dry completely before reinstalling. Replace if it’s damaged.
Before storing for winter, drain the fuel tank, change the oil, clean the mower thoroughly, and remove the spark plug to add a few drops of oil into the cylinder. Store the mower in a dry place.
Adjust the cutting height using the lever located near each wheel. Move the lever to the desired position to raise or lower the cutting height uniformly across all wheels.
If your lawn mower cuts unevenly, ensure that all wheels are set to the same height, check that the blade is sharp and balanced, and inspect for any obstructions in the deck.
