202 After a LOOOOONG Winters Nap

Over my lunch hour today, maybe just because it's "spring", I was feeling inspired so I went out back of the house to check on the 202. It pushed itself back into a little hole cut out of the bush last fall after the transmission locked up on me. Knowing I wouldn't need it for the winter, there it sat. So now that it's almost time to start making a mess with it, I thought I should start preparing it to be pulled into the shop by at least seeing if it would start.
Took a little video.


This is why I love this old machine so much! Our temps went down below -40°C this winter.......even lower with the wind chill. This was literally the first time I've touched it since probably October. https://youtu.be/snU18_01KII
 
To be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect. When it fired up like that I knew I had to post a video! hehe
I guess that battery is in good shape.
 
If it makes you feel any better it ran out of gas half way through getting the backhoe disconnected!
 
That looks more like the dead of winter than spring! Does sound really good. I received my manual 202/204 and is yours a shuttle?
 
That one isn't a shuttle but the 204 forklift is. I think it can be seen in the background in the video.
