Calcium chloride mess

Had the rears on my 340U filled last month, then had too much rain to use it until this weekend. Went out Saturday morning to put the blade on and discovered the left valve stem (which was positioned at the bottom of the rim when I parked it :( ) had failed and dumped ALL 47 gallons of fluid out. All over the bottom of the rim and left a puddle the size of the tractor. By the end of the day, the grass had already turned brown. Now I have to pay $75 PLUS the "house call" fee to have it refilled and then stare at a large dead patch in my yard for the rest of the year.

The worst part of it all is I never even got to use the ballast. :x :x

I hate it when a 50 cent part causes big $$$ in damage.

Sorry for the rant. I feel better now.
