Winter Storage

[RayMcD]

After the last mow for the season, cleaned up the entire machine with special care under the deck. Give the engine a good cleaning under the fan, changed the oil and air filter, went to a WIX 51391 on the oil filter, largest so far. Put the machine up on stands to give the tires a break.
Hopefully if any critters find their way into my building, they'll op for the peanut butter in my bucket traps before my machines.

Let's get ready for the Holiday Season. Thanks for the Tips Gentlemen, Cheers, Ray

I thought I had mowed my last time of the very dry mowing season but it started raining again
so I had to get mowing again. Now that it's December, I think I can now safely put it away:>)

I still have leaves to tackle. There is no winter storage for my Scag zero turn.

Leaf duty is my Snapper RER’s primary mission, so it’s still on full alert, but here in NC the end of leaf season is drawing near. When it does go into standby I remove the battery and stand it up on its hind quarters, so no need to put it on blocks. But thanks for the tip, I’ll do that for my JD rider. While on the subject of tires: reminder that with the cold weather your tires need more air. I checked my 3 vehicles a couple of weeks ago and all the tires were 3-4 psi too low.
Happy Holidays to all members!

Every 10 degree temp drop equates to 1 less Lb of air in tires..
