    Question:
    We just purchased a Husqvarna LGT26K54 tractor, however I don't see that model listed on the manufacturer's website. The closest model they show is the LGT24K54. Has the LGT24K54 replaced the LGT26K54? Why is it not shown on the website?

    Thanks: BP

    Hi Bob

    Thanks for contacting the Answer Army to post your questions.

    We regret any confusion, but are unable to identify a LGT26K54 model. There is the possibility of a misprint at some point, but we can only find the LGT unit with Kawasaki engine from 2011 and 2012 as LGT24K54. There is a model YTH26K54, but that unit has a Briggs and Stratton engine.

    We do regret any misinformation you may have received, but appreciate your understanding

    Thanks again from the Husqvarna Technical Services Team.

      For a breakdown on the LGT26K54, that's Lawn & Garden Tractor, 26 HP Kohler, 54" cut.

       

      The LGT24K54 is the 24 HP Kawasaki, and I'm not sure why the LGT26K54 isn't showing up on their website.

      I think Husqvarna repainted and remodelled them and sold them off to a large, former catalog, merchandiser.  I just bought one from them configured with 26 HP BS engine w/ 54" cut.  Husqvarna is named on one of the paper stickers on the product.  Tractor model is 917.288583 from the other folks, apparently equivalent to YTH26v54.

      Beware of what I believe to be fuel tank venting issues with several of the Husqvarna tractors, including this one.  Symptoms:  Runs for a while (20-30 min in my case) then stalls if mowing, or surges if idling or just moving the tractor.  Cracking the gas cap to vent the tank is a quick fix, but probably breaks some green regulation. And lets crap into the gas tank.

      Doing nothing but letting it set for a while allows air to leak back into the tank and lets you run once more for a while.  That gives it the appearance of an overheating issue.  Problem is worse if fuel tank very full, it dies quickly.
