We bought a Husqvarna push mower a few years back when we lived in the suburbs. Great self-propelled unit with a Honda engine! In 2016 we moved to the country and have to mow 3+ acres - so I bought another Husqvarna, a small lawn tractor (LGT2654) with a 26HP Kohler, 54" cut. Great mower for the first 40 hours of cutting! Then the front wheel fell off. Because I couldn't find the retaining washer and other parts that held the wheel on I drilled a hole through the axle and installed an oversized washer & cotter pin that I had! This got me through!
This season after 50 hours of mowing, the front right wheel is toeing out really bad, as if the axle/spindle is slowly bending! What gives? It is a shame to have such a powerful machine with a great cutting deck and then have problems with the steering. I am cutting my 3.2 acres two times a week during Kentucky's spring growing spurt. My mower may not have been built to handle 6 acres a week??
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
