This is one of the reasons why new potential homeowners get so confused and frustrated when we ask about restrictions and are directed to those links.
ALL the links state no aerial antennae are allowed. And yet - they are allowed. ALL the links state no clotheslines are allowed. And yet - they are allowed. State law allows them, and state law prohibits communities from forbidding them.
It still isn't a good idea to do these things, because neighbors are going by the restrictions even though the restrictions are not enforceable. You -cannot- be fined for having a clothesline in your back yard. However, you CAN be visited every single day for the rest of your life when your neighbor complains that you have one, because the people paid to check out complaints, have to do that every time one comes in.
You basically have to weigh your priorities. Is it that important to put a jet-ski that you won't be using more than 2-3 months out of the year, in your driveway where its very existence is likely to create hostility among your otherwise peaceful neighbors? If so, go for it. If not, store it somewhere.
Most properties on this side of the Villages are modular/mobile/manufactured homes. They are on small lots without room for expanded garages. Some do have room, most do not. Most of them don't have any garage at all; instead, they have car ports and attached laundry sheds.

Also just as an aside - you really won't have any need for a lawn tractor at a home in the historical side of the villages. The properties themselves are small. If you are in fit condition you could use a non-powered hand-mower; a 2HP gas powered push-mower is more than sufficient.
A lawn tractor would just be more stuff taking up room on property that has very little storage space.
