Can't fix up the old one, at all? Was at a Home Depot about a year ago, the Deeres were going for $5K easily there. Been going to the Deere guy who's got my tractor the last month and a half, and he's got a lot of garden tractor and mowers, but haven't looked at them. Just want my tractor back. Was at Lowes for something, and they had Cub Cadets, Toro Wheel Horses (not real Wheel Horses), Simplicitys, some green Yard-somthing or other, and Troybilts. All had something within you range, but all are/were MTDs, so... Might've even had Ariens too, don't remember. Couldn't help but notice, were blocking the entrance.

Here's a deal. One of my sisters and her husband bought a 48" Troybilt a couple of years ago. Paid like $3,200 or so I heard. About a month ago, sold that Troybilt for $1,100 at a garage sale because the brother-in-law has night school these days (nights), and was too big for my sister to feel comfortable on. So, they bought his mother's 2 year old plastic MTD Wheel Horse for like $500 because she now has a lawn service, and is much smaller with a 32" deck. So how many times has my sister touched it since I went and picked it up for them? Not once. And now my brother-in-law's got the smallest rider mower in the whole dang'd subdivision, and takes much longer to mow the lawn on Saturdays.

Hey?!?! How about an old B or Cub, or something like that? Am thinking a Popper's a little big. Hmm? Turf tires? Woods or Ingersol? Can get for that, and will last at least another 50 years... Hmm?
