You bought thecheep riding lawn mower instead of rhe better lawn
tractor, or the better yet garden tractor, or best, their "compact
tractor" JD cheapened their brand by putting their name on cheap crap
to meet a pricepoint for the "mass merchandizers" It's biting them in
the butt in a BIG way right now. Has almost killed Ariens too. Cub
Cadet not far behind, alonf with Bolens.

Yes, I did. At the time I di dnot know any better. I grew up in a
small city and we only had a small yard to mow with a push mower. Then
got married and moved to about a half acre lot. Old Murry served well
for that small area. Moved to where I had to mow close to 2 acres.
Thought John Deere was a big name with quality equipment. Did not know
they put out low end junk to compete with other low end equipmnet.

When the transaxel went out, found out a company makes several different
quality ones for many brands. Deere used the lowest quality one in the
mower I bought. I will never buy another thing from them due to that
simple thing.
