I looked at it. It is very informative. In my better years I could have done it no problem but my sight has got so bad I have a hard time even mowing. I am having a total knee replacement Wed. and then the other one 3 months later. I need both hips replaced and at least one or more back surgeries just to get me back to halfway normal. I have lost over a hundred pounds since you saw me last because I knew they would never do Knee surgery until I lost weight. I have already had both shoulders rebuilt with new bearings, seals & gaskets. I already have 16 scars from surgery that you can see and quite a few you can't see up in my head and now I'm fixin to get a few more. My body is in the same shape as the PS control valve on my 1772. I bought a brand new one when I put PS on the 982 but I think you can rebuild one for 10% of the cost of a new one. I'll get back to you after the first knee surgery.

PS: I got new tines for the #48 IH tiller from that place in CA and my grandson put them on. They will make it till like new again.
