When was the last time I changed the oil in my mower?

Now that I think about it, it was probably before the pandemic. 🤔

My neighbor had a crazy old Montgomery Ward tiller, I’d guess from the late 60 or early 70s. I borrowed it once and decided to be nice and change the oil in it since I doubted he ever had. Could not for the life of me figure out how to drain the oil without flipping it over… It’s ran for this long on old oil, it’ll run for a bit longer!

Flipping it over is often the correct way to drain the oil.
