A lawn mower platform, made of metal or plastic, covers the blade and keeps flying grass and debris from hitting you like mowing the lawn. When it is time to rebuild or repair your Husqvarna cutter, you need to properly remove the cover so that you will not cause damage. Husqvarna makes three types of cutters: zero-turn lawn mowers, lawn mowers and push tractors.
