    Question:
    Just bought a new GT54LS with a serial # that indicates it was made in May 2013. All the brochures both in print and the info online at the Husqvarna.co site indicate that the cutting deck should have 'Rapid Replace'(tm) or quick disconnect mower blades. Mine does not and the saleman says that this item, although promised in 2013 for three models of tractor (GT54LS, the YT54LS, and the YT46LS) is not available...IS IT? If it is, will I be able to get this system installed? I DID PAY FOR IT!!! Thanks for the help (In Advance!)

      Seeh,

          I just purchased a YT46LS this week.  One of the selling points was the rapid replace system.  I picked the mower up on Wednesday July 3rd and found there is not a rapid replace system on my mower.  The dealer I purchased it from called Husqvarna and the service tech never heard of this rapid replace.  The owner of the dealership told him where to find it in the product catalog.  He was amazed and said it looked neat but still did not know what it was.  Then he transfered to someone else who said it is not available.  Well now I am upset because I would have gone with the fabricated deck with the lifetime warrenty.  I know this is not an answer but I would like to know what the answer/reasoning i.

      I was just wondering if there had been any updates from Husqvarna on the Rapid Replace blade system. I'm shopping for a 2014 YT46LS and have yet to find a dealer who has any in stock with this quick replace option.
