Lawnmower Question...

I've got a 95 model Craftsman 42" riding mower with an 18 hp Kohler motor. Sucker runs like a champ, but everything on it is about wore out! Steering it is like driving a dirt track car it has so much slack in the steering. My deck is controlled by linkage rods and all the holes where that stuff moves is worn out to egg shapes...lol. My yard is sloped and bumpy, and when I mow, I pretty much ride the mower like a dirt bike. Poor old mower has 3 tires in the junkyard and the other one on a banana peel.....but it just keeps hanging in there. I'll keep it until it's no longer repairable because we have a lot of leaves in the fall, and the 3 can bagger that fits on the mower saves me untold hours of raking and blowing leaves.
