Yeah, I know what you mean...last time i mowed the lawn was in beginning sept,thank God its over till mid may:licking:Can't say i enjoy it to much.:smile:
Winterizing the lawn tractor consist out of, park it somewhere out the way in the shed, just shutting it down and take the battery out so it don't freeze.
It'll fire up come may without a problem on the first try since it allways done that for the last 16 yrs.
I never had a problem with the gas going bad.
I still make sure I run my mower out of gas before storing it for more than a month, just in case, but I once left it sitting for 1 month & 1 week with a full tank when the weather took a bad turn and the grass suddenly slowed, and when I took it out, I gave it three primes of the primer bulb, and it fired up on the first pull with no smoke or signs of misfiring etc...
I'd say you could leave fuel in a mower for at least 2 months, but if the manufacturers want to say 30 days, so be it, but I'll take it with a pinch of grass seed
