Just put fresh gas in my Ariens walk behind and fired it up for the
first time since last fall. Let it run for a few minutes and then
tipped it up to drain and change the oil. This plug accepts the
square driver of a 3/8" socket set. Came out very easy. Oil drained,
fresh oil put in, and we are ready to go.

where's the excitement, the challenge, the success of the
achievement for having overcome the adversity?

did you leave that part of the story out?


Like, Billko, I'm thrilled when my Lawnboy starts in the spring and I
know I'll get another season out of it

Good point, especially after Sarge leaves it stuck in the muck outside all
winter.

He has a way with recovery.


True - I needed my son or nephew to help me lift it up on a shelf for
storage and we never got connected till the winter was half over and it was
buried in snow.
