Be sure to check their hours! Should be fine tomorrow 'til 5 or so, but I think they close at noon on Saturdays. They are really good people to work with. Good luck!
They are both the 42" deck riding mowers with hydrostatic (automatic) transmission. I think they are the model # you mentioned (1042), but I would have to check to be sure. We bought both of them at Surf and Turf. This newer one is better than the first one...more/better features for the same price. Hope you get a good one, whichever brand you buy!!
