    Might I suggest instead of using red and tacky grease for the wheels and such try a marine grade water proof grease. Still super tacky, spins well and when you wash the mower it prevents rust better as well. I think it would be better for snowblowers as well. Since I've started using it on my snowblower and snow pushing garden tractor I've found it actually does repel water better.

    LOL! My gas can is brand new, but it's the same old style we used when I was a kid. It's a steel can made by JustRite It seals shut with a spring latch and a cork gasket, has a large pouring spout and a detachable funnel that you can leave attached and pour straight from the can into. They have a spark arrestor built-in to the spout for when filling up at the gas station and they last forever. They're a bit pricey but as with most things, you get what you pay for and at my age (55) I doubt I'll ever need another one, unless I buy a blue one for kerosene for my torpedo heater.

    This is weird because I just bought a bunch of maintenance stuff for my riding mower, lol. I mowed the front lawn last week and got half the back lawn done and broke a drive belt on the mower that I put on 3 seasons ago. It was an OEM belt from Husqvarna that I gave $40 for. This time I went to Ace and got a belt made by Rotary Corp. in Glennville, GA USA for $54. Hope it holds up longer than the last. Also picked up oil for it, a new Wix oil filter, fuel filter and air filter for it. I'll just clean up and reuse the old spark plug as it's only a couple seasons old and still has plenty of life left in it. I'll also grease the spindles, axles and steering gear while I'm at it. I replaced the deck belt last fall with a belt from Rotary, so no need for a new one of those just yet.

    I wanted one of them walk behind John Deere mowers when I was a kid but it was out of my price range. They really seemed like well built quality mowers, unfortunately JD isn’t in the residential walk behind market anymore. I did buy a John Deere S 240 rider a few years ago so I filled the void from my youth😎

      Hey Chuck! Those old jd mowers are great! You still find them out there for not much money. Easy to work on for the most part too!

    Hey Bud, just watched and as always, I gain. I'm going to check out the blade holder that is awesome. I see you use 5-30 on mowers. I always thought straight 30 was for summer. That's my learning for today. We just got 4" of slush Thursday and I used my Toto 5/21 with my Predator for the first time awesome. It did clog at the end as it was too heavy. Thinking of buying another to replace my 208cc-factory engine on my Craftsman Quiet Technology, we'll see. Be well my friend.

      We got 12+” of slush and my Ariens SHO ate it all up like a hot knife through soft butter. Blasted it a good 25’ away.

      Hey John! I learn a lot just being involved with this community as well! 5w-30 full synthetic generally has a wider temperature range. Most manuals mention that 30 is good too. Winter is finally letting go around here but crazy you’re still getting some! Go for it with that engine swap and keep me posted! Appreciate the PayPal you sent my way my friend! I’ll be sure to take the garage gal out for dinner! Appreciate you as always my friend! 👍

    I agree 100% with all those products. I just did the spring time ritual of going thru my mowers (removing deck, check out bearings and lubricating moving parts, etc.) Now I'm almost giddy waiting for the grass to get long enough so I can get out there and mow!

      Hey Jeff! Might cry if I ever have to sell those mowers. I agree! Those gas cans should get more time on camera! 🤔 I’ll have to think of something! Thanks for watching bud!

    Great mower tips JB! Simple maintenance will definitely prolong your mower! I do the same thing with my leaf blower after every use of the JD tractor. Even after using it to snow blow. I’m digging that new blade sharpening tool you got. I’ll have to stop by with a couple blades to see how it works. Haha! What’s up for the weekend?

      ​Picking up the Grandsons this morning and if I have any energy left, I'll scrape and power wash the JD mower deck. Tomorrow probably the same as you. Hopefully it won't be too cloudy. Have a great weekend my friend!!
