Ariens S 16 HP with a powerful Kohler cast iron 16hp gas engine. Hydrostatic drive, no gears to shift, it has a mid, front and rear pto with a class zero 3 point hitch. The rear PTO is shaft, gear driven. It weighs about 900 pounds. It comes with wheel weights, turf tires on front and rear, a 48 inch shaft drive mower deck, 3 foot 3 point hitch rototiller, snow/dirt blade and chains. The snow blade and chains were never used. I have the original packing slip and shipping sticker. This machine is a rare find. It was stored in a barn for over 15 years. Other then old gas in the tank, it started right -up. There is zero no smoke, I think the engine has under 500 hrs on it. This machine is no Lowes special, just the rototiller alone would cost over $2,000 from JD, and Ariens was the in leader in rototiller technology. This tractor will out live you. I re-painted the rototller, but the rest of the tractor just has some minor surface rust. I replaced the battery and ALL the belts, new hydro filter and oil. I repacked all the grease for the gear boxes on shaft drives for the rototiller and mower deck. Lights are also new, back light are original. This nice part about the tractor is it was never worked on, all the wires and nuts and bolts are original. The hydraulic control lever has Lift, Down, Hold and Float! Not even my new JD has that!!!!! I have ALL the manuals including the repair and parts list.
I started it when it was 20 degrees, turned over like a dream, first try. cold start
Mike Kraft gives tips on garage door maintenance. There are three key steps: cleaning, safety and lubricating. Find the detailed instructions here: https://low.es/1Sie7Ma
Start outside, cleaning the outside of your door with a soft sponge or cloth. You should do this once a year or potentially more if you live in a soft air climate. Once it is washed, just rinse with a hose. If the garage door is made of wood, inspect the door to see if it needs to be repainted or stained.
It’s also good to do a safety check every few months or so. Keep in mind torsion springs can cause injuries. If your door uses extension springs, you can find replacements at your local Lowe’s.
When doing safety checks, remove any cars or debris from the garage door area or tracks. Then do a visual inspection of all the cables, rollers, springs and hinges. Replace anything is frayed or worn and tighten bolts. For bolts that are near a safety tag or painted red, only have a trained technician adjust.
Also check the door balance, disconnecting the power first to the opener. Then disengage the door from the opener and raise the door to waist level. Release slowly. If the door raises or lowers, a trained technician will need to adjust the balance.
Use a non-silicone based lubricant to lubricate hinges, springs and bearings. Don’t oil the tracks, or else the door might become unbalanced.
If your door needs some repair, look at your owner’s manual or visit your local Lowe’s for a garage door professional installation.
