Dean,

Man am I jealous. I love to hear that 620 work. Music to my ears. And that Brush cutter is really
doing a good job. What are the tall plants called? After a few years I have my 3 plus acres of pasture
in such good shape I mow it with the Garden tractor rather than with my brush cutter so I don't get to
work my 620 that way.   But I just have to inform you that you just have to get that muffler with a
dent off of that 620 and put the correct muffler without a dent on it. The John Deere "Correct Police"
will go apoplectic if they see that. :-)  The muffler with the dent is for the JD  letter series
tractors and if used too long will cause the 620 decals to turn into alpha characters. :-)  JD used to
sell that muffler as a universal muffler for all two cylinder tractors. I don't know if they still do.
You cannot trust JD Dealers to sell you the correct part any more even if you ask for the correct part
number. Aftermarket dealers such as Detwieler Tractor Parts do sell the correct version.

However, I suspect and correctly so, there are many other things on your "to do" list that are much
higher priority!  :-)  Just pulling your chain a little!

The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right time, but also to leave
unsaid  the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

My south pasture is home to a few buck goats, belonging to the guy who
leases the pasture and some of the barns.  This weekend he moved the goats
temporarily, and the vegetation had thinned out enough to make it feasible
to spot dead-fall branches or other unexpected hazards on the ground, so I
got the 620 and brush hog out.    There ended up being enough wood on the
ground for two pretty good-size bonfires, but the pasture is now mowed and
next summer I can cut it again without worrying so much about what's on the
ground.
