Winterizing lawn mowers is a crucial part of lawn mower ownership.
Here is a quick winterizing checklist:
• Add fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank
• If you have a diesel machine, add anti-gel to prevent the fuel from gelling up
• Run the engine to release condensation, burn off old fuel, and pull the fresh fuel treatment through the carburetor
• For battery maintenance, you can run the engine to leave it fully charged, use a battery maintainer while it stays in the machine, or pull the battery to store and charge it in a warm place
• Thoroughly check the machine for any signs of food or nesting materials to prevent rodents from chewing on your wires
Here are the John Deere product part numbers for everything you'll need to properly winterize your machine:
