What all do you do for winter storage of your lawn mower / tractor.
All I do is remove the battery and also drained the gas tank.

Sounds like a good plan to me. After draining gas, run the engine till it quits and you are good to go.What all do you do for winter storage of your lawn mower / tractor.

1) Air Filter - Clean (knock dirt off) or replace
2) Underside - Clean
3) Blades - Sharpen
4) Oil & Filter - Change
5) Visual Inspect - Fix any problems so it's ready to go in Spring
6) Fuel - Fill Tank with E0, add Stabilizer
7) Battery - Disconnect and get 'smart' Battery Charger ready
Used that for many years until I found the Chevron multi … it’s a stabilizer with Techron and formulated together by a company I trust …I use blue Marine Stabil all 4 cycle year long in E0 gas. My biggest issue is mice making nests in and around engine shroud.
if i can i run the mower out of fuel if not my fuel is treated with stabil.. also scrape down the left over vegetation with a putty knife and give the underside of the deck a spray of high zinc primer. if my blade is in good shape i give a coating of grease. pull the plug give a squirt of white lithium in the hole reinsert and just give the pull rope a few short tugs till tight.. i guess then the valves are seated.. spring time gets fresh oil and new air cleaner if needed otherwise just blow out with compressed air.What all do you do for winter storage of your lawn mower / tractor.
