Honda 3013H Riding Mower Barn Find

[Sam_Julier]

I managed to get this beauty running today. It sat for 4 years in a barn in Rowe Massachusetts.

Cleaned the carb and gas tank with 3 cans of carb cleaner. Totally gross.

New air and fuel filters, fuel line, spark plug, JD Plus 50 15w40 oil, OE hydrostatic fluid, battery, lubed everything in sight, cleaned the cylinder head fins with brake clean. Tubes in the tires.

Started up easily but the starter motor was a bit reluctant.

Similar to OP's mower. I'm a sucker for a RER but for my needs it would get beat up mowing my 0.53 acre yard. They remind me of a cabover truck for some reason.

Nice machine. Let me know if you ever consider selling it. Seriously.

Apologies, I should've been clearer. This was a picture from an internet search of your model mower. I was trying to figure out how your RER looked & thought I'd post a picture of what model it was as a whole machine.
