i bought the new rider 7/1 , took it home and it mowed 15 feet before the transmission went out. Both a company employee and a few warranty shops i spoke to said the transmission is a problem and is too weak for the unit. So now i wait as my grass grows butt high and my new mower is in the shop. will the new transmisson be stronger or is it the same as the original one (any updating). thanks, mike
I was wondering if this is covered under the warranty. I'm about to take the mower in for service. The mower will barely if at all move. Makes kind of like a grinding or slipping sound. Everything else I have checked looks and works fine. I have the orginal 960240001 model that I bought on May 1 2010. I read in one of the articles inside answer army that the transmission (friction disc) had beed updated much like the steering wheel adapter (which I've also recently replaced). Thanks.
UPDATE: I also did run across the Husqvarna Service Bulletin: B201002015, however it says units with serial numbers starting with 040510xxxx and mine starts with 040210. Not sure if that helps or not.
