A load control valve makes a fair amount of sense in a few applications. It's not fool proof but is safer than relying on hoses. |

What I find interesting is the older parts of it have small stones, like golf ball size. My theory is even the smaller rocks damaged late 1800’s/early 1900’s equipment, and/or small children were out there helping as well. Nice John Deere. Those tractors have stood the test of time. My dad has two 850s, one with a loader. |

Pulled the mower to the garage after the spindle broke. Was turning on a good off camber, low side broke and I somehow ended up off the tractor with one foot on the ground and one on the deck.
