Thanks for all your replies! I truly appreciate them. I just get a bit disoriented by the terms "older" and "newer" and "MTD"What do those terms mean?
Older; John Deere, Cub Cadet, Wheel Horse.
Newer; John Deere, John Deere, maybe Husqvarna. New Cb Cadets are just MTDs!
What does that mean? New Cub Cadets are just MTDs
