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 15W-40 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.
