its a kohler command
model cv15s 426cc 15hp

i already knew my mtd had a 11.5hp briggs motor with a 36" cut. i went all over that thing when i got it before starting because it had sat for a couple years.

my motor may be smaller but its still faster.

Just got my laptop back from service. They replaced and upgraded the primary hard drive
I installed Windows 7 and am currently updating drivers. I have a long night ahead of me copying over my files, installing programs, and changing settings...

You'll Like it. I've been running it for about 3 days now. Best OS I have yet to play with. It acts like vista, and runs faster than XP ever thought about doing.

Its a 7 color kit, same brand as on my truck just not so many bells/whistles. One 4ft tube behind the tv and One 3ft tube behind each side tower, I got the ECU and all the wires behind the xbox/wii games on the right tower and the Display is behind the right speaker. Gonna get some loom and cleanup the wires behind tv, with the glass shelf under tv they are pretty visible.

Well... I'm not liking Windows 7 all that much.
The "Superbar" is ugly and annoying. I'd rather have the original taskbar.
Also, Windows Media Player 12 is ****. The way the library looks is different. Views like Recently Added and Unrated are gone (how am I supposed to find my new music to rate it...?) And it doesn't edit meta data. WFT Microsoft. They took a big step backwards with WMP12.
Oh, and I corrupted it going through the process of porting WMP11
Which failed...
Probably going back to Vista. Grr.

oren and laramie, some more reviews on windows 7 would be much appreciated, i've been thinking about switching from xp. i never wanted vista because it was such a resource hog.

kindschi, those lights don't screw with your eyes when you're watching tv? i would keep the red on all the time, it makes it look like a boom boom room. i've got a red rope light run all the way around the top of the walls in my room and it helps the mood when its time to get down and dirty.

Win 7 isn't that bad. I did go from vista but there are a few changes which took some time to get used too. The taskbar buttons are changed, the sys tray reacts differently. Basically the same as vista except for a few visual effects, but runs a lot smoother expecially on my laptop.

The biggest annoyance to me is... I have a big music library and with wmp 12 you cannnot dock the controls to the taskbar like you could in previous versions so everytime I pick a song out of my library, windows media player pops back up, so I re-minimize it every time. :/ I'll probably try to downgrade to 11 since I haven't found a solution.

i definitely like the docking to the taskbar deal with wmp11. especially with my audio controls on the keyboard.
