The difference in the last 4 digits are color codes- but otherwise would be the same deck. Washouts may have been added to later built decks, so maybe it will have one or not. The black would be 0637 which may be the easiest one to find. You can search online using the 983-04125, you will want to identify that the retailer ACTUALLY has one. Try Searspartsdirect, EBAY, look for used, have your local dealer check his distributor. The other thing to know is you will very likely break off at least some of the spindle bolts -so remember to price spindles to see if you are still in budget. In most cases, if you can't find a good used deck- they aren't worth doing.

I am not in the know as to what the answer(s) could be, but a lot is mind set, and that can be a difficult thing to change, and it takes time (years). Twenty years ago in the coffee room of my office there was a discussion about pollution and gasoline consumption, and someone made the comment about how we are gluts (in North America) about stuff, and how some of the things we buy or pay for are too cheap, and should be WAY more expensive. He used saran wrap as an example, it's so cheap that people use it alot, and once, and throw it out, yet it doesn't decompose well (or at all?), and costs $ and resources to make. I walked away (young and naive) thinking he was one of those 'hippies' from the 60's, yet over time I found myself coming back to his comment and I've started to look at everything I use, and questioning whether I need to do things the way the tv commercials tell me to (and society). I try to watch my gas consumption, grouping my errands to the same part of town on the given day. And waiting another week or two until I am back in that part of the city, instead of making a special drive for an item. But it's how to get other people to start to be aware of this. They get hit with 'global warming' speeches on the news, and it's so depressing and overwhelming that I think many just try to avoid thinking about it, placing hope and trust in researchers, or that all will turn out well. I read in a People Magazine that last year Tom Cruise's fuel bill was $1,000,000. (Jetting his beloved over to Italy so she can pick out the perfect dress for one of his premieres - is that like my family driving 20K in to town to window shop?) Just because he's got the $, what gives him the right to use so much? I cannot remember, but in some eastern country, residents had gas card allowances, where it did not matter if you had the money to buy more, you could only purchase 30 litres of gas per week for personal use. Maybe that's what's needed here, a weekly limit, to try to make people aware of the gas they use, when they want to hop in the vehicle and drive in to town to 'shop' because they've nothing fun to do that day. Or there needs to be some way to know what the actual cost of driving here and there is, like the meter on a taxi. kioni

Go to Craigslist.com and in the Free Stuff you will find posted for March wood chips, manure, etc. Good luck. I like using wood chips. Hay or straw will blow away. El

I was wondering about this as well, maridy. I saw some azaleas at one of the nurseries over the weekend that I thought would be perfect in my front yard. I didn't get it, though, because the rhodie I've tried growing has just about had it. Could be where I planted it, but I've tried it in two spots before I thought it was too weak for another transplant. I did get blooms from it last year though. I'd be interested in hearing if anyone else grows either here as well.
