John Deere Winter Mower maintenance-6 simple steps
1-Use a John Deere Home Maintenance Kit
One of the most important things you can do during the Winter months to maintain your mower’s optical performance is to perform a full service on the machine, which includes changing the oil and replacing the air filters, fuel filter, and spark plugs.
John Deere home maintenance kits come with everything you need to perform the service on your John Deere Lawn Tractor or John Deere Zero Turn mower
2- Grease Your Mower
To purge moisture and avoid rust through the winter, it is always a good idea to grease all the moving parts on your mower, including the spindles on the deck and other high-wear parts.
3- Connect Your Battery to a Charger
One of the best investments you can make to help extend the life of your battery is to purchase a trickle charger. By connecting your battery to a trickle charger while in storage, you can avoid major damage to your battery from things like discharging and sulfation. You can also avoid damage due to freezing temperatures. By utilising a trickle charger, the battery is kept warm by the low, steady charge
4) Add a Fuel Stabiliser
You can prolong the life of the gasoline in your mower tank by up to 12 months by adding in a fuel stabilizer. Fuel stabilizers aid in preventing your fuel from gumming up and going bad when your machine is not in use. This step simply requires you to fill your tank with gas, add the fuel stabilizer, start the mower to get the gas into the carburetor, turn the mower off, and turn off the fuel shut off, if your machine is equipped with one. This gasoline fuel conditioner/stabiliser will get you started.
5) Perform Blade Maintenance and Level Deck
Save time in the spring by performing blade maintenance before storing your mower. Sharpen or replace any blades that may be worn or dull. By performing this maintenance in the winter, you can ensure your mower will be ready to pull out and mow come spring.

6) Cover Your Mower
If you plan to store your mower outside, you should consider putting a cover on it. If not the seats and paint can get worn by weather pretty quickly. You should also consider some sort of mice control to avoid any wire damage due to chewing.
