evening all!
I usually check transmission mounts by lifting on the tailshaft ( it shouldnt move much at all), you can also check for cracks and loose parts.
Taking the puppy out to the park now...she gets spayed in the morning...

Will someone please tell Jake that having a TA isn't cheating! All these Deere lads get all bent out of shape when you kick their butts with a TA equipped tractor and then say that you cheated cause you have a TA. 
Just remember, Jakey, if it ain't red leave it in the shed.
