How do I ready my riding lawn mower for winter storage?
Question by happydawg: How do I ready my riding lawn mower for winter storage?
I bought a Sears Craftsman riding mower this past summer. I have been working a lot in the last 2 weeks, so I havent really had time to do whatever I am supposed to do to make it run next spring after sitting in the cold garage all winter. What should I do to my lawn mower to store it for the winter months and make it start again in the spring?

You should call your local small engine repair shop. They can do tune ups.
Sears may even offer a service to your house. I think John Deere does tune ups.

My buddy Steve is a moron! I often tell his stories in my show. This is one of my favorites. Through a friend on the force, I got one of Steve’s arrest videos from the summer of 2005. In south Louisiana this behavior is not uncommon at all. Tell a friend. Enjoy! I hope you can make it out to a show to hear my other Steve stories. www.marcryan.com http twitter.com www.myspace.com TAGS (Marc Ryan Mark Steve Old drunk lawnmower dui craftsman cops police pepper spray mased mace dashcam white trash trailer park alcoholic halo chainsaw beer 40 iphone marcryan.com Chris crocker Britney spears perez Hilton haters vma 07 Blaine street magic groundlings office pharmaceutical corporate sales meeting porn sex wasted stoner weed 420 chase)

I usually don’t do anything, but it’s a good idea to take the battery out and store it indoors on a wooden shelf.
change the oil,
drain the gas out of the tank
start it up let it run till all the gas is gone [there's still gas in the carb]
remove the battery store in in a warm place
it does not have to be on a board cement is fine,
the myth of cement running a battery down is false
Good Idea to fill up your tank with gas before you store it to prevent moisture build-up, add fuel stabilizer (available at your local parts store) and as mentioned already, remove battery from mower.
Remove battery store in warm place above freezing charge it once every 8 weeks, put in a gas treatment for storage like sta-bil don’t drain gas that may dry gaskets and corrode carborator parts and/or rust tank make sure to run 15 min to get treated fuel into carborator bowl. scrape dryed grass from under mower deck and spray with oil WD-40
