    New shoes for the John Deere GX75

    Bought a set of rear tires for my JD RER, I am willing to bet they are original as they have John Deere embossed on the tires. I guess that is pretty good for a mower of that age, just $29 each,:thumbsup: mounted with tax, should last till I'm on the other side of the grass :laughing:

    What is with these parts people??? Don't they care???

    I just don't understand these incompetent parts people. :thumbdown: A neighbor lady came to ask a favor, she asked if she were to buy a new blade, air filter and spark plug would I install them for her, to which I said yes. After a 50 mile round trip she came back with the spark plug and blade...

    Best place to buy tires

    OK, My rear tires are losing a little air between cuttings :thumbdown: so I removed them and checked for the problem, what I found was the outside sidewall has begun to weather crack & each tire had a very small leak there. So here are my options, Slime, tube, or new tires, they are 16X6.50-8...

    The belt on my shop air compressor gave up the ghost so I took it to the local NAPA store to get a new one, quote $17+tax. Took the belt to the local ACE Hardware $6.81+tax, guess which one I bought? These two stores are about 3 blocks apart so driving & fuel did not come into the mix. Yes...
