When I gently suggested to my DH that it might be time for a new garden tractor, I might as well have suggested he cut off his right arm. Now bear in mind that each time we use this the tires have to be aired up, the engine jump-started, etc. It takes half a day to get ready to use it before we use it. But this tractor was a foundling from a long ago garage sale lovingly nursed back to health by DH and he refuses to put it out to pasture. He even has a name for it - we call it the "Garden Ranger", lol. Thought you'll might enjoy a pic of it so here it is, Ole Ranger:
