The great switch over!

Hi Guys, Today was the official switchover to lawn maintainance for me. I took out the 1974 Snapper with the thatcherizer on the nose and skimmed up four bags of thatch. I then spread 10,000 sqare ft. of Scotts with Crab Grass Preventer while wishing for just one more "snow event". Some how lawn care just doesen't have the same allure as snow removal. Marc

hi Richie... that sears tractor have a kohler engine in it. just curious . Hi Chris, It has the Briggs 17 HP OHV engine with adjustable carburetor. I maintain the engine by changing the plug at the beginning of each season along with a new automotive type fuel filter. Of course it gets numerous oil changes each season as well.

Hi Guys! Mr Mom- Long Island is home. Supposed to slush/rain tomorrow so I figured I'd let Mother Nature water it in. Marc

Nothing like hopping on that tractor and enjoying your maintenance work and nothing breaking. Richie, I guess you used PRI-G during those 7 years? If so, that product has me sold.

Changed the oil Sunday, Sears was out Monday too service it and put it away till the weather gets warmer so I can clean it, derust/paint it. Now they are predicting 4 to 8 inches tonight in the Boston area...I have had my fill of snow this year really. Robert
