Got the itch for a new rider, so I added a new GTH 52XLS to the fleet recently. I wanted the Briggs Endurance engine, locking diff, heavy trans, fab deck, and NO push button start fiasco. So, after scouring the state for a few weeks, our rep found one still crated up for me. First thing I did was remove the headlights, pull that ridiculous silver reflective paper out (really? come on Husqvarna- $3,000 for a mower and using silver reflective paper/mylar shoved into the headlight housing??) so I silicone sealed the lenses to the backers to keep out dust, cut some rubber washers to fit the bulb fixtures, and insert some
really nice LED's. 8 cuts in, no dust inside. These are the lights they should have crafted from the factory. I also added some
neoprene armrest covers to avoid hamburger elbow from those cheese-grater armrests and a
wheel spinner, some rubber tread in the center of the footrest pan, and we're ready to cut. Love it so far- the locking diff is awesome, even though 75% of the tractor is exactly the same as my 2007 is lol!
I also added the mulch kit, still figuring out if I like that or not. I like not having the deflector in the way though.
