Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I hate to say it but I  think winter is over for me, in utah.  So I adjusted the belts lubricated the hex shaft changed the oil and drained the gas, then ran the motor to get rid of any stabilized gas left in the carb.   Did I miss anything?  does anyone make a cover for snowblowers to store them?     Next task ,restore my snapper mower that just got passed down to it's third generation in the family.

Mang, Sears sells a snowblower cover. It was on the Sears WEB site, but last time I checked they were sold out. You can't be serious though, it's too early to be putting the snowblower away! I'll be thinking spring maybe sometime in April

We'll be mowing in a week. The weather forcast is mid 60's to 70 and sunny everyday for the next week.

Mang, that Snapper has been a trooper over the years!

Wow......even seeing the word "summer" has me jealous.
It is 12 degrees here now, blowing snow, etc.
I blew out the driveway 4 times yesterday...(yes, I needed too, I was not just playing......)

We won't THINK of mowing here until late May........usually around Memorial day, maybe.  We still get frost then, so planting is iffy even then.
We have had snow in May before.

I'm getting to the point of picking up "Where to Retire" magazines when I'm at the dentist office........

thanks, I will check sears, I just want the new blower to keep looking new.

Spring time in Utah??????? I would have thought you guys would be seeing snow until mid April. It was 15 degrees out in the Pocono area of PA this morning and we got just under a foot of snow 3 days ago.

I have done mowed twice already and looking to make it #3 if i get more then a couple days of dry weather.

You have to go to Mexico to much further south than you Jody. LOL

How's the Cub doing?

Its not hard to believe Marshall...

Over here in Washington we are getting 60 degree weather right now. Many don't realise that we are having a early spring. And you guys who are still getting snow in March are having a late winter! And just to let all you know, I predicted our early spring lol.

That little old lady holds you in high esteem, I'm sure.
