Andy, I will keep the shrink appt. in mind however I am not sure they treat stupidity in unloading lawnmowers. I have come to the conclusion that the lawn tractor was out to get me any way. I keep my Oliver 75 all covered in the garage while the JD is placed in the shed. 
As for the meeting I have a solution, the next time I will post that I know where there is a 440 in great shape for $1500 and information will be given at the meeting. Every web member will be there.
