Since lawns don't grow much (if at all) in the Winter, you'll want to breakdown and "winterize" your lawnmower to extend the life of the mower and prevent its liquids from eroding the interior machinery. I recently found this great set of how-to videos on e-how that break it down nicely.

The guy's voice is terribly monotone but he's a pro.

This 13 video how-to is broken down as follows:

1. How to Empty the Fuel Tank(easy)
2. How to Empty the Oil Tank
3. How to Clean the Underside
4. How to remove Rust
5. How to Remove the Blade
6. How to Sharpen the Blade
7. How to remove the Air Filter
8. How to clean the Air Filter
9. How to Replace the Air Filter
10. How to add Oil
11. How to Protect the Blade from Rust
12. How to remove the Spark Plug
13. How to clean the Spark Plug
