I've been wondering what happened with that deal. Contradulations on
joining the world of tractor owners. Sounds like you did a good job
negotiating, good job all around!
You didn't ask for a suggestion, but here is one anyway. If it did not
come with the owners manual (they usually don't), look on ebay for
one. I got an owners manual and a shop guide. They are worth their
weight in gold for me. Now if you or your hubby are really
mechanically inclined, you won't need it, but I sure have.
I've saved a lot doing my own work. Also, it comes in handy at oil
change, filter change, etc. time.
