That is a whole bunch of additives! I‘ve read that sea foam is excellent at cleaning but I though I read somewhere that once a can (it’s expensive) has been opened, it has a short shelf life? It is a great product. i know for sure that the regular Stabil has a shelf life of 12 months once it’s...

I lived in Putnam County, Carmel & Mahopac area.

That is a viable method as well. I don’t have a fuel shut off valve on my lawn tractor and not wanting to install one since I’ve heard they will eventually leak.

I use ethanol free fuel with stabilizer and be sure to fill the tank with that fuel before winter and run the engine for a few minutes to ensure that fuel circulates. The equipment sites ideal for a NY winter and then always starts right up in the Spring.

Mine has been fixed and I preferred to pipe it with SS pipe rather than a rubber hose that has a shorter life but that’s just me!

The plug is facing down and I even have a threaded plastic fitting with plastic tubing connected for draining the oil.

I have a threaded cap with teflon tape that’s tightened with a 1/2 inch open end wrench❗️

I’d rather not drain the oil again and the elbow would have to be backed off. I was hoping there was a way to measure it with a caliper or if someone knew its 3/8 going in what would the other end normally be, but thanks for the response!

I have a ball valve for as a quick oil change on my lawn tractor and the pipe into the valve is a 3/8 npt and I like to purchase a male plug for the other end and I can’t determine the thread size on the opposite side. I bough a 3/8 npt SS plug and it was much to large.

Our house in on a half acre with a lot of trees, shrubs and landscaping beds, what would you recommend? And I have know that several brands are all manufactured by MTD. Actually, Stanley Black & Decker owns MTD as well as DeWalt.

After looking at this mower and reading the specs it appears to be an excellent entry/residential Zero turn. It comes with a Kawasaki engine and the transmissions are the hydro gear 2200 which are a step up from the ones that come on the Exmark Quest entry level Zero turn. Is there someone here...

Mine is now set up with a stainless steel ball valve, secure and easy to change the oil, I even have a threaded plastic fitting attached to a plastic hose.

I did not have to mess with the engine attachment in order to install my piped drain with a ball valve.

My Honda HRN 21 inch mower had some debris & caked up oil on the block of the engine and I was wondering if it’s safe to spray on a degreaser ( heat the engine first?) on the engine and then spray the entire engine with water from a pump sprayed.Is this the best way to clean the mower?

The mower has the normal pre-determined cutting height and most are all too low while the the last (highest) notch is used most of the time. Would a know if I could raise the deck so that all of the pre determined height woul be a quarter or half inch higher?
