" I will service and put my snowblower away on May 1. Anything is still possible around here. "

Just picked up a John Deere R70 rider for $130. It has an 8HP Briggs engine. Drained the sludgy crud out and flushed a little supertech 5w30 through it before filling it with Rotella T5 10w30.
 
B&S Quantum 4hp, mower in storage for over 5+ yrs, properly stored with fogging oil, B&S fuel stabiliser in gas tank, gas cap sealed with thick plastic sheet, etc.

Took it out and then drained the oil (refilled with Vavoline 10W30 white jugs, cannot locate my WM jug of diesel 15W40 oil). Drained the gas (yellow, a bit gummy but not bad for 5+yrs in an unconditioned(high humidity) shack; replaced spark plug with a new Champion, etc. Started like a charm.

Put it into service immediately during Sunday for the first mow of the season, got the job done relatively quickly.

Need new mulching blade though (original one worn).

Q.
 
Changed oil today in a 35 year old briggs 3 and a half hp. I put some old Case/IH branded oil in it. I have no clue who makes it. My Dad gave it to me long long ago. Its straight 30 wt. Ran the motor 5 minutes at most and it was pitch black. LOL
