FWIW, a friend of mine is now into his 9th week waiting for his new $12,000 lawn tractor to be delivered with all of its parts & options attached. It was already built & ready for shipping in Ontario when he ordered it. Seems that this is the second one - the first was obviously a demo & was quite beat up cosmetically & they expected him to accept it & pay full pop.

His local salesman does not return his calls & doesn't seem to care a whole lot. He isn't too happy...
