To the OP: Unless y'all have a room full of old newspapers stacked up in chronological order, I can't fathom how this is even an issue. That said, there's **** in my attic we'll NEVER use, so...

I can appreciate a guy wanting to keep momma happy in the name of trying not to lose any $. However, even if you winterize/preserve it, and it sits for 20 yrs, all the hoses, belts, ( maybe some wiring), the seat, and tires will prolly be dry rotted. Repairing all of that will cost way more than what you lose by selling now. I think I'd store it till spring and try to sell it when peeps are mower shopping. Crank and run it once a month and treat the gas so she'll be gtg until then. So what if it was a bad purchase, most of us have done it and learned...then we move on! Good luck!
