    Just the blade is bent? I would get a new one. Replacement blades are pretty inexpensive, you're talking like $20 to solve the problem and 15 minutes of work.

    At the very least, you need a new blade.

    It's easy and relatively cheap to change the blade on a mower, so I would try that first.

    If the mower with the new blade still won't run right, I would take it to a certified mower repair shop to ask if it can be fixed or if it has to be scrapped.

    If just the blade is bent= easy fix, if the crank shaft is also bent= goner.

    replace the blade, after you take the blade off... try starting it and running it for awhile without the blade... just to make sure its running okay
