Welcome cjones, I've had my 235 for 6 months and have put it to it's chores. It's down a great job.
I echo Eddie though, my 235 has the exhaust on the side, has yours been modified?
My only troubles have been with the 3 point hitch not staying down (see my earlier posts).
I'm glad to report that it was a minor problem with a ground wire to the UFO control. My dealer took it back, under warranty, to figure out the problem and luckily stumbled onto the wire link. It was a bit frustrating for a while!!
