      Hi Mark,

      Glad to hear from you. I think there is a solution to my problem.  The latest on my 1830 EXLT....spoke with my Husqvarna Dealer/service center.  After they researched the problem, they decided to take in my machine right away to adjust the power steering cables and get the machine back in one day. This is the kind of service we should expect from all Husqvarna dealers.  A few hours later, they called to say the cables are not adjustable, however, adjustable cables on the way from the factory (perhaps in 4 days). It appears the manufacturer realizes there is a problem with these hydro-track-drives and they have come up with a solution.  I will let you know if the solution works.

      Best regards from Denville, NJ,

      John Belli

        Good luck John! Hope they can remedy your issue. Keep me posted please. I am not convinced yet of the integrity of the products or the  company. Time will tell I guess.

         

        Best Regards> Mark
