Sam, you must have read my mind. I have drooled over the supers that you guys have but down here in Ga. there aren't very many. CC just never made it down here like it did else where. Shipping would be a killer too. Rich at Patterson's is giving me advice on adding PS to my 1811 which might be all that I need. He told me that a JD 318 PS control valve would work on my 1811 and I just missed out on one one ebay by $10. I'll tell you what though, having the foot pedals to go forward and back are really nice when you are operating other devices. One odd thing on the GX335 is that the hydro lift deck has a lower limit stop like our CC's do but no gauge to tell you where it is once it is off of the stop. That little height indicator on the CC is simple and does exactly what it was designed to do. Maybe JD should look at some of these old girls to get some "New" ideas.
