I moved and will be storing a riding mower outside at a relative's house. I am going to drain the tank, run it out of gas and cover it the best I can. Is there any benefit to use the fogger stuff that outboard engines would use when you store them? What do I do with the battery? nothing and...

The grass came back nice and green in a couple of weeks. But, the grass is now mad at me and it lets clover and dandelion grow in it as a punishment for what I did.

I went with JB wield washers and a piece of sheet metal! This idea may be just crazy enough to work!

after looking at it some more, I feel like I can rotate the engine a 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn and drill new holes in the deck. The self propelled function works off of a pulley and a belt so it should line up no matter the engine orientation.

please delete

2 of the 3 bolts that attach the engine to the mower deck ripped out of the mower deck of my self propelled push mower. What is the fix for this? I don't have access to a welder.

20 minutes on the lawn??? got it!

I bought an OEM Husqvarna grommet and it has held up for a month. The generic ones I bought shrank, got hard and would leak. OEM part saved the day.

yep, next time I'm only leaving it on the grass for 2 hours, not 4 hours!

its looking better, I can see green grass blades in the brown dormant grass.

So I buy these mats from tractor supply. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/4-ft-x-6-ft-x-3-4-in-thick-rubber-stall-mat When I get them home I unload them and put them on the grass. Its a hot day 95 degrees, the mats are heavy about 100 pounds each and they were on the grass for...

yea, something that should be a $5 fix may cost me a new $90 tank with the grommet already included. If I could glue on a nipple over the hole and just attach the fuel line to the nipple that would be great, I have see gas tanks like that.

my hole is 14mm, not 13. that 1 mm is throwing everything off, I think.

right, so unless the OEM grommet (which it getting delivered today) is a couple mm larger then the generic ones I have, I don't see how it will give a proper seal.
