    I'm doing a bit of work to my garden tractor this year.

    Engine replacement/ upgrade. After 34 years it deserves a bit of TLC.
    Ariens GT17 garden tractor repower

    When I'm done, it'll probably be good for another 34 years. Before that point I expect to be living in the South Pacific.

    I do not get ready for spring, my equipment runs year round so I service as needed.

    Just fired up the push mower. It had a half tank of gas in it all winter, Oops. Wouldn't start for the first time since we've had it, probably 20 years. Drained the carb of some fuel and it started right up.
