Once. Back about 1976 or so.
I still have the original, worn on both sides. Dad used her heavily from 66 to 76, and then the roads were cut, the house built and the pool put in. So, after that she took it a lot easier and so the 'new' cutting edge is still on it's first side.

What I wish I had was a JD350 in the same kind of shape. The 420c was dad's but I had a JD350 and liked it a lot better for most things. The 350 was a bit of a bear in the woods on the old mountain, though. The access roads had been cut with the 420c, so the larger 350 with wider blade always was a tight fit in certain places!

That would not matter now that I'm no longer on the mountain, but in the river valley. I keep toying with selling (or trading) the 420c and getting another 350, as I really miss my old 350. But how in heck am I ever going to find one in this good a shape?
later!
