Yes.
When I reordered the shed-in-a-box to put the walk-behind mowers in the back and give a preeminent frontal space to the Olde Deere for ease of access if needed, I checked vital fluids and fired it up to verify that it started and that the auger engaged and the transmission would transmit both in forward motion and reverse..
But I have done that in previous years only to be confounded when the temp is brrr-cold and solidified glowbull warmthing is smothering the landscape. Hopefully my adjustment of the auger engagement safety switch thing (as reported last year) will allow it to continue to start when the brrr-cld and solidified glowbull warmthing is in vogue. Since only one of those two conditions (the brrr-cold) is presently in effect, I have no desire to go give it a try right now.. ;-)
But my New RedRidingThing has a flat tire..
That’s good news. As soon as you said Snow, I thought “ Here we go...”
Flat Tyre...Just rotate the flat bit to the Top, problem fixed.
Must go, Tomorrow is only 90 mins away. :)
