LRT, I agree with this and I could take this topic further the main focus by relating a few my experiences with those highly trained JD mower techs but I leave that for another topic.
I just had to respond to the ability comment. There are many good techs out here on these forums but there is also those that are not. We are getting fewer over the years as the part replacers are taking over as they will work cheaper. There is big difference between just swapping parts and actual repair ability.
Again I apologize for taking this topic off the main subject.
