do tell! also, do your guy's decks make a loud whine from gearbox or mid pto area? i'm used to "craftsman lawn tractor" sounds and i don't know if this is normal. it doesn't sound bad, its just louder than i would expect, louder than the motor. craftsman w/25hp briggs = LOUD motor-quiet deck. JD 2305 =QUIET motor and loud deck. just haven't mowed with it enough to be sure.
