Gene, I don't think I have ever seen a 42 John Deere. Is it a pull type? 
The 65 was the smallest pull type I've seen other than those little old 
clipper type 12A ones.
Spring is trying hard here too and the snow is gradually melting. We are 
a month at least away from any ground work though I think. Predictions 
of 20C which is I think about 65 degrees for tomorrow which is way above 
normal.
