Zero Turn Mowers

I purchased a model 96899219.CZ4815KAA in 2003 from Turney Mower in Chesterland, Ohio.
I know its out of warrenty but I have and am experienced some sturctural problems that in my opionion shoul not occur.
Three times now The bolts (P/N 5391080020) have sheared off the transaxel. And now the IZT Support (P/N 539107556) has alos sheared off the right side bolted mounting. The part has actually been toren from the mounting.
My use of the morer is only cutting my lawn and I do not abuse it. I was hoping that it would not have these type of issues when purchased. These,in my opinion,are structural issues with the engineering of the unit.
Should I expect theis type of breakdown even at this age? and is this a recurring issue with this mower? I can't believe that I am onth only customer that has experienced this type of problem.

If I decide to purchase a new mower what would your reccomend?

I consider this a seirrious issue and am expecting a reasonal reply in a short amoount of time.

Thank You. My phone number is 216-570-93471

Is this an Official Husvarna site?

As you all realize, it is almost Labor Day Weekend, people wan't their yards to look nice and so forth, But when you have a broken down 2011 PZT5224 and a servicing dealer says it could be at least a couple of weeks, and Husqvarna doesn't give a rats behind, ie: service bulletin about this problem see pic below. You have to take matters in your own hands, So an individual does not lose friends and or customers. You fix the piece of ---- so you can mow, you then contact the Better business bureau and file a complaint 87 hrs on this zero turn the selling dealer did not register it with the manufacturer like they said they would, [maybe if it was registered I would have known about this service issue] and Husqvarna customer service is so noncaring it makes me sick

purchased rz4623 at lowes on 5/16/12 .they delivered it on 5/18/12. lowes instructed on use. i cut the grass . engine now has 0.5 hour on it . when placed in garage noticed oil dripping on floor . oil appears to be dripping from the area under the ohv cover on the left side of the mower. suspect a bad gasket . told lowes about this problem . where can warranty service be done? they said i could return it , but i do not have anything to trasport it . can a local service dealer fix it under the warranty , even if it was bought at lowes ? if they can , are they able to transport it under the 30 warranty for free ?

I just bought a 54 In. 24HP Gas Powered Riding Zero Turn Riding Lawn Mower via Sears Home Delivery. I used it for the first time today - it was delivered last week. It did a great job, but I had to stop to answer a phone call. When I returned to the mower, the starter would not activate. After a fair amount of troubleshooting and profanity, I discovered that a wiring harness running directly above the mower deck under the seat that had two badly abraded the areas, almost as though the blade drive belts were contacting the harness. At least one conductor inside the harness appears to be totally severed, and I suspect it is involved in verifying engagement of the parking brake or that the left drive arm is in neutral. Having enjoyed only one hour of use, I'm not terribly excited about spending a Saturday tearing this thing down and replacing the harness (nor do I feel it is my responsibility). How do I get this fixed? I do not have a vehicle capable of transporting this mower. And of course, the problem occurred at the lowest point on my property. Pushing it up a 20 ft hill is *remarkably* difficult.

Otherwise, I love the thing.

Thanks,
John
