I mow about 1.5 acres , house and lots around my out buildings. I have owned and worn out 3 mowers, in the last 13 yrs. The first was a poland, still runs ok but deck is to shot to repair, or replace any more bearings on the blade towers (38" cut). The second was a larger 42" MTD, It is in the same shape, as the Poland. Runs and starts good, but steering, and deck are shot, and have replaced numerous bearings, that drive the blades.I bought a John deere 42" cut, and it is currently setting, while I find another deck for it, but did have to replace the original Briggs, the 2nd yr. While looking for a JD deck on CL, I found and bought a Wheel Horse garden tractor, of the 84 vintage. This is heavy duty, and came with a tiller, 42 " mower deck, a front push blade, and a brinley plow.2 cylinder Kohler engine, and hydrostatic transmission. $350.00. Sure it is used, but It works great, and is sturdy enough to last! The deck and tractor has real grease zerks, and can be lubed!The guy had 2 of them for sale but wanted to keep the front end loader on the 8 spd tractor, and I didn,t want to wait another day while he took it off. I wish I had of waited, since I don't trust hydro's. The older round fender Cub Kadets, and Simplicity's, are equily as good although they arent new. If you look at front axels ,rear ends, and decks, you will quickly see the value in the garden tractors, verses the riding mowers. JD will sell you a great garden tractor, but you might have to take out a 2nd mortgage to finance it.

Today's Featured Article - What Oil Should I Use? - by Francis Robinson. I keep seein this question pop up over and over again in discussion groups all over the web. As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
