    Question:
    FUEL TANK, RATTLES & FRAME GIVE on new HUSQVARNA GTH26V52LS
    Details:

    I've just bought a Husqvarna GTH26V52LS. Whilst I'm happy with this machine I have these concerns.
     
    1) Discovered a split seam in fuel tank on first day of use, new one replaced & fitted F.O.C. by dealer :-) - but questioning quality control at Husqvarna. Is this a one off fault? Could have blown my house up, the thing dumped half a tank of fuel in my garage overnight. Time to invest in a garden shed to store it!
    2) Is it normal to hear a rattle from the deck/blade area when machine running but in idle mode. What is causing this rattling? It's almost as if a belt is slack or an idler pulley knocking into something. Haven't looked underneath yet, getting ramps this weekend. It goes away if blades engaged.
    3) My yard is approx 1.3 acres of lawn, flat but slight pits and troughs +/- 1 inch where previous home owner has not maintained lawn very well. When I'm mowing I can feel a minor twist in the frame when going over this slightly uneven ground. Is it designed to do this? Is this normal?

    Thanks Cool
