    JD mower transmission

    Considering buying a project mower that runs but has transmission problems. I can get it for 1/3 of the price of a fully functioning mower. It's a mid nineties John Deere with a hydro transmission. I'm hoping it's just a belt of something.... So I'm wondering if the tranny is bad is it...

    GPS Software Compatability

    Does anyone know if I can use a Magallen GPS with Mapsource (Garmin)? I ask because we have mapsource on our laptop and I was just given a used Magallen 310. I want to use the laptop when we travel. On the Magellan website they say compatible with other mapping software. Does that mean Mapsource?
