I just imagine you with an Emu egg size lump on your head from your wife's iron skillet if you on't live up to your promise.
Good luck on clearing the lot.
That was a good chunk of change anywhere for a hydro. I replaced a hydro on a John Deere Z925A last year and with my labor it was $2500. It had an internal bearing failure that sent metal every where plus a golf ball size hole in the housing. The customer had winch the ZTR on to his trailer as this particular ZTR has a shared hydro oil system.
BTW One of my Emus raised a lump on my lower leg nearly that big and yes I have seen the eggs. The saying is "I going to raise a goose egg on your egg if don't do what I said." and was one mother favorites plus had a large selection of iron skillets to choose from. I still go them all though I only use three them regularly here cooking.
