[Shop-talk] Lawn mower replacement

[Robert Nogueirao via Shop-talk <shop-talk@autox.team.net>]

I have a 32 inch Zero turn radius lawnmower ( Gravely) that my tool and 
equipment loving wife bought for me 12 years ago.  Does a great job and it is 
built literally like a tank, plate steel almost no sheet metal.  Well the. 
Engine is pretty  much ready to retire.  A replacement engine will cost about 
$1200.  For a bit more I could buy a new lawnmower but of much lower quality 
than the Gravely and not a zero turn, which I love.
So to my question anyone have experience with the pump and servos on a zero 
turn as to longevity?  I hate the thought of buying a replacement engine and 
having the pump or servo go out ($$$$.$$)
