[AJD] Lawn Tractor

[greg at theoldtractorcompany.com]

Also, PLEASE bear in mind where these tractors fit in the total scheme of things.
They are not heavy duty lawn tractors but basically a light duty homeowner duty
mower. This is what Tom has been trying very nicely to point out :-).
These are not and never will be what the old 214's, 318's and such were.
Keep that in mind and all will go well.

At our dealership we have also had transmission "issues". I don't deal with them
normally as I live my life now entirely in the past, during the glory days of Deere!
