Thanks again for all of the replies and tips; Being a new skid steer owner I can use all the help I can get.

Hi, I recently bought a John Deere 240 (serial number is for a 2000, but was told it was built in 2002). It has just under 2200 hours on the meter (hope it's accurate). Just going to use it around the house for mowing, pushing snow around, moving some dirt around, and possibly digging post holes...
