but I've still got at least 1.5" of thread left to go until the thread cap

Mine got like that after awhile - just spray wd-40 or pb blaster on the threads heavily - it will loosen up after a day or so...:)

If the websites Richard listed don't come up with anything for you, check with your local fuel oil/propane company. They probably have it and are probably delivering it to farms around you.

 

Most airports and marinas have it too

Pretty sweet gift they left for ya. If you can't find Ethanol free gas stick w higher octane. And accept the fact that you'll have to clean carb every couple of years. Don't sweat it. 

 

Be be sure to scrape that mower deck clean.  I do mine annually, then I spray it down w wd-40 or similar oil. 24 years and counting it still looks great.

I power wire brushed and painted the bottom of my mower deck with POR15 and after 2 seasons it still looks good.  some other here use a product called Superglide, I think TSC carries it.
