Well it was the ending cut of the year. Is there anything I want to do to winterize a riding lawnmower?
Answers: Clean it, especially the mower deck's underside. Then spray the underside of the mower deck with a silicon grease. Drain the fuel, then run the engine until it stops from fuel nouns. Fuel, especially if it hasn't been treated w/ a fuel stabilizer such as Sta-Bil, can impairment the diaphragms in the carburetor when vanished to sit for long periods w/o individual run. Remove the spark-plug, squirt in a bit of engine grease, replace the spark-plug but not the spark-plug lead, later turn the engine over a few times. Finally remove the positive lead from the mobile and push it out of the way. I also slip a plastic purse over the lead, to insure that can't brand contact w/ the battery posts, if it is accidentally bumped or a critter crawls around it. It won't hurt anything to polish it w/ coup¨¦ polish.
Drain the gas?
