    Question:
    I have a 2042LS with a design defect. I have had to change the drive belt no less than three times. The dealer just changed out the transmission (with a used one). It appears there is a problem with the brake/clutch mechanism.

    The brake needs to be pulled up (just slightly) because the mechanism does not fully release, taking the slack out of the drive belt. The dealer suggested I pull up the brake/clutch with my left foot to fully engage the drive belt. This is annoying at best.

    This design defect is noticed mostly on slopes, even slight slopes. It is annoying wherever I have to use the top of my foot to pull up the brake/clutch.

    Does Husqvarna have a fix for this problem?

    My mower has 130 hours, has had all of the maintenance. I am disappointed the service life is so short.
