Oil change. Did NOT change filter because even though it has been 2 years it's only been 20 hours. Also it's a larger M1 filter. 340 hours.
Cranks forever after sitting a long time. I should consider a fuel pump. This seems familiar...

Finally changed the mower belt on my 5212.5.
It was pretty worn. Old belt pictured.

Removing the deck is easy. Replacing the belt is involved due to all the things that need to come off to route it around the pulleys. I'll try to test it today.
The PTO engagement adjustment was pretty close at 0.9". Spec is 1.0". I might tighten it that tenth of an inch just to make engagement that much more positive.
