The oil debate continues…… I live in an area where the temperature in the cutting season in generally 80° or more. I’ve changed many Briggs engines over the years on tractors I flip. The rule of thumb is to Change the oil at least once during the season or more based on hours of usage. It’s...

If you are worried about the battery I highly recommend taking it out and keeping on a trickle charge in a warm place. I do this at the end of the mowing season and got over 8 years on my last battery.

You can say what you want but I live on the completely opposite coast! I am f#$&*ing tired of buying CA compliant power equipment when I don’t live there. Let the granola eaters out there deal with their own carburetor issues without dragging me down with them. I am getting really tired of...
