2 cold starts...One failed :(

I've been away from my 2N too long; seeing you on yours has me itching to get back to it and get it to fire up!

I have a Gravelly that I bought in 2014 and I think it has 800 some hours. I had a big problem last year when I was mowing and hit barb wire. It messed up the crankshaft above the PTO. I hauled it to town and the dealer fixed it and told me when I run whether I have the blades running or not to run full throttle. The book says to run it at 3/4 throttle and then engage the blades but now he said at full throttle. So far so good. When I bought the mower in Florida they told me to run the same oil as the transmission uses and this guy put in straight 30 weight. He also changed out the filters for the drives. Otherwise no problems except for one spindle replace. The sandy soil in Florida eats blades badly and no problem here in Missouri. Not sure i would spend another $10,000. on another mower.

Fantastic filming without light, you just have to come up with it. And guess what's going on. Perfect Bil, keep it up.

How far have we come when the 60 yr old starts after sitting out all winter and the newish mower inside all winter refuses to go.

[@michaelmactavish4445]

[@billstmaxx]

i guess see if after you charge the battery what not see if it’ll go. i guess they want wide open for a minute then slowly back off. i’m with you Bill not having a choke lever verses a weather vein choke no bueno
