Recently (mid-September) bought a new 4-stroke lawn mower and had cut the grass three times. Now, winter here in Canada is fast approaching, should the engine oil and gas been drained prior to storage in the backyard shed? Any other recommendation or advice are much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

My lawn mowers usually last about 10 to 15 years, that's mowing every week for 7 to 9 months out of the year, and sometimes other people's lawns as well. What do I do for winter prep? Last mowing of the year, I empty the basket and push the thing into my shed. In the spring I sharpen or replace the blade, replace the spark plug, check the oil, and start mowing. I don't change the oil or put in any additives in the gas. I figure I could change the oil and such, but I average $20 a year for a new lawn mower. Why spend more. Never had a problem with one, until it just wears out after 10 to 15 years.

lawn mower wont start, no crank, NO SOUND!?
cam2790@sb
so I dont know what im doing, big shock.
I bought a house, that came with a riding lawn mower.
ive started it up before, but it took a lot of time.
let it sit for a couple months, and now theres no crank, and no noise at all..
ive tried jumper cables, I still dont even get a sound from the engine.
my only clue is that the oil light is on,I know that soem have oil sensors, if its too low, it wont crank at all... but I have replaced the oil filter and filled it up with new oil.
still no sound at all.
I really need help, my grass is growing by the minute!!..
okay, so today I have bought a new battery for it, wired it up, and still....nothing...nothign at all...
both spark plugs look clean and new.. and I still get an oil light that comes on...

Riding lawn mowers have a few safety features built in. For instance, to start the engine, you must be sitting in the seat, the brake must be engaged, the shift lever must be in neutral and if it has an electric clutch for the mower deck, that too must be in the off position.
These safety features are so that you cannot get off of the mower and have it run away from you, or put your foot on the rotating blade(s) and if the mower rolls over, the engine will quit, helping to avoid injury or death.
