Other Sears Craftsman Garden Tractor

I left the fuel on a couple of times after putting in the fuel on/off valve with the same results. I've now gotten into the habit of shutting off the fuel on the way to parking, once it starts to sputter I shut it down with the key.

That's what I did this time when I backed it into the parking spot. It's ready to connect to the big roller that should be interesting.

Couldn't resist. Had to go out and hook it up. Did most of the lawn going very slowly. Flattened the grass. Not so sure it did much to the ground from the perspective of making it less bumpy. That's partly also because some of the bumps are clumps of grass and some of the dips are dandelions that have killed the grass underneath their leaves.

We're not allowed to use broad leaf weed killer anymore. We can hire a company to use broad leaf weed killer.

I don't think anyone mentioned that this has to be done after a good rain. Dry ground doesn't roll worth crap. Around here, the very best time to do it is after the spring melt and the first spring rain but before the grass starts growing.

Been very dry here but I understand.
I also expect that it will take more than one time.
