I purchased a zero turn after about a year of looking, comparing and talking to landscapers. well, I pulled the trigger on a 970R with tweels, floatation seat, 60" side discharge. first start up after setting a day or two it will fill my garage with a heavy white oil smelling smoke, has 4.8 hrs on it and to be frank I don't want a brand new mower that has been torn down. my question is what exactly is the "John Deere promise"??? and has any one used it .......I want to know before I contact the dealer so my ducks are in a row to speak.
