Went to see the doc & the CaseIH dealer, yesterday. "Arthritis", my doc says. "I know I have arthritis", I commented, "but why the aching knee?". He went on to inform me that my seated position, compounded with the constant pressure on the pedal, is what's causing it to act up. I passed on the idea of another anti-inflamitory, as I already have a few for my back. The other things to do is stretches before I start cutting, when I'm done & should only cut at half-hour intervals. Half hour?!?! How much lawn can I get done in a day with breaks like that? Yeesh! So, I stopped in at the dealership on my way home. By Providence, there's two brand new seats sitting on the shelf! How 'bout that & the new seats are considerably firmer than the old one. I grabbed a new seat & some new plastic bushings & went back to the house. After some putzing, cleaning & reassembly, I have a mower that won't torment my knee. The seat is firmer than the old one & the new bushings make all the difference in the world. I cut so much (3hrs), the roller came off the back of the deck! LOL! No knee pain, nuthin'. So, yes, it does pay to see the doctor, get frustrated, & figure there's got to be a better way! ;v) Seriously, I am glad I took your advice & went to have it checked. It could have been much worse & I'm happy it isn't.

Well, when our family moved to our 20 acre site near New Prague, Minnesota, I had one thought in mind. You guessed it, farm it somehow. A little history is in order. In my younger days, mom, dad and my brother made frequent visits to dad's youngest brother Pete, who took over the home farm from grandpa MIke. It was the typical set-up, milk cows, pigs & chickens. In the winter, we'd play
