19 year old Craftsman 42" tractor deck at EOL

By the way guys, don't let people tell you that the JD sold at the "big box" stores are "same as" the JD at the dealer. Friend of mine had one, things like the deck bearings are cheaper design/ construction.

This is true of a lot of stuff. I once had an "RCA" TV that had been sold by Wards. It was NOT Wards branded, it was RCA. The tuner died .003 seconds after the warrantee was up. I went to a TV shop and told him I wanted to try and fix it, If I paid him could he photo me a diagram? He took one look at the model no. and said "you bought that at Wards, right?"

Tuner was NOT RCA, was contract built specially for Wards


Have not heard Wards in a long time! Damn we are getting old!
