Topping up the battery on our John Deere mower for our community ball diamond.
Getting the yard equipment ready for summer.

I put a year old battery back in the rider today. I had left it on a tender all winter and my knockoff brand battery tester said 100% battery condition. The old Briggs started on the second crank even with the old gas from last year in the tank. I think it was E0, but not sure. I was quick to be reminded that I had parked that rider due to bad spindle bearings. One Amazon order later, and now I'm headed out to mow the yard again with the walk behind.
Checked the oil in the John Deere D160. I changed it last year and it’s still the correct level and looks quite new. Probably has about 20 hours on it.
I have some relatively fresh, treated 50:1 to flush through my chainsaw and toss in the weedeaters. Hopefully no issues and they run fine.
I will crack out the Husqvarna tiller, it should be fine, the oil is relatively new and the fuel was treated.
Last weekend, the Champion generator came out, tossed in fresh treated fuel and it fired up first pull.
Of course, its was +20c the other day and today, well, below freezing and a snow storm. Things can wait.

Ran out of 2 cycle oil and picked up another bottle of Lucas semi synthetic. It really is smokeless in the backpack leaf blower mixed 50 to one. YRMV.
