[AJD] Lawn Tractor

Dick, 
         As far as we have seen the  only people that are having problems 
with them are the ones that use them for  more than they were designed for.  
These transaxles just are not designed  for much abuse. If you have a fairly flat 
1-2 acre lawn you should be fine. We  have a few customers that are mowing 4-5 
acres with them. One guy is even mowing  into his woods!
I had a guy that had to replace the transaxle because he was pushing  snow 
for his next door neighbor. Normally not a problem, except his next door  
neighbor is a FUNERAL HOME with a large parking lot. HE was not only doing his  
driveway and a few others, but also the funeral home. Just wanted to let you  know 
of it's shortcoming. A new transaxle is about $525.00 right now.
