Question:
Last week I finally took delivery on my new YTH24K48 lawn tractor which I purchased from the local Lowes the last of March. I filled the tractor with gas and in the process, spilled a small amount on the fender. Imagine my surprise when I wiped the gas off the fender and realized I had also wiped off all the numbers and symbols for the mower height adjustments. This is a machine that uses petroleum products and gets wet occasionally and these important painted on numbers and symbols can't endure either water or petroleum. Really!!!?? Really???!! Bad, bad design choice! Really bad design choice!
Can you please send me a file with the graphics and numbers for the painted on labels so I can at least produce my own solvent proof decals to put on the tractor and mower?
Thanx,
Darrel Plummer

Mr. Plummer - it's 2018 (almost 2019) and I just took delivery of a Husqvarna YT42DXLS. Same issue after 7 years?! There are plenty of stenciling inks and paints on the market that would work well for this purpose, or better yet, heat embossing. Jeez, why is this still not corrected?!
And for the Answer Army; the problem area is not a decal - it is a soluble screen printed or roll transferred paint or ink onto the Deck Lift Console. Part replacement does not solve anything since Husqvarna has clearly chosen to ignore this design flaw. At least learn about the parts you're advising about!

Darrel,
Darrel,
I do apologize for the problems you have had with the decals and deck height numbers. Although the parts can be replaced, I am unable to send out the type files you are requesting.
