Now as I said the deck is level,checked on a level smooth concrete floor.The wheels on the left side are fine but on the right side the front wheel is about a quarter inch highter than than the front left.The right rear is too low and nearly touching the floor.There is just no way to get an even cut with uneven wheels.It seems either the brackets were not installed correctly or the holes were not drilled right. I will see my dealer this week .And I'll get back with you all on this. ]]> Husqvarna dass http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/husqvarna/283207-yt48xls-some-issues.html http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/husqvarna/282371-husqvarna-ct-20-garden-cultivator.html Fri, 07 Jun 2013 17:04:42 GMT The engine runs fine but the tines would not turn.

Cut the mowing time for my 3 acres by 30 mins over my Toro Z-Master.

But, I am curious, can anyone tell me what some of these cryptic letters mean?
Why GTH and not just GT? What is the 24V and where did the X go compared to some of the others with XLS?

I know it won't make a difference in how it mows, but maybe I can get some sleep at night instead of wondering what they all mean.

Was on the phone with another, more experienced, dealer today and emerged with both him AND me more confused than when I started.

Husq ad tags on the machines and website conflict, and dealers don't know, although last dealer did get SOME info by going into the parts manuals.

Husq ads on the GT52XLS state the the product has "locking differential" This conflicts with the Web site. Website says that GT48XLS has "pedal operated locking differential" but dealer claims there is no pedal and it's automatic. Can't find any indication as to where the pedal is. Further, latest dealer found locking differential in the GT48XLS parts manual, but not the GT52XLS. OR the GT54LS.
But the Website seems to indicate that the GT54LS does have that feature.

So, I have a very simple question that seems to be incredibly profound at the same time:

Which Garden (NOT Yard) tractors have the PEDAL OPERATED LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL and where is the mysterious PEDAL?

Second question would be, "what does the X mean?" In other words, why is there a GT52XLS but not the GT54?

I have a 32 year old Wheel Horse tractor. It is a gear tractor. It is a great tractor, but at its age it's getting to be a hobby just to keep it going. It has value to collectors and Wheel Horse fans and hobbyists, and I think I would like to sell it and buy something new that is halfway decent. But with the hydros, when I get stuck, I cannot just leave it in reverse, jump off the tractor and pull it out of the mud, ergo LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL is MOST ESSENTIAL, in both a real and poetic sense, lol. I know the Husqvarna tractors are not in the same class with the Wheel Horse, but I have a bigger machine to do the biggest part of the lawns, leaving the garden tractor less duty than the old Wheel Horse used to get. Husqvarna might make decent equipment, but there is a major cognitive dissonance among their admen and their dealers!!

If anyone can answer my questions definitively, I would surely appreciate it.

BTW, I don't think there is really such a thing as an "automatic" locking diff. Limited slip can be automatic, but isn't really the same thing. ]]> Husqvarna MiserableOldFart http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/husqvarna/280793-husqvarna-garden-tractor-mass-confusion.html http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/husqvarna/280630-starter-transmission.html Wed, 22 May 2013 14:11:34 GMT Husqvarna GTH2550XP - 25 hp - 50" cut

I'm trying to help a neighbor with this lawn tractor. The engine won't turn over and perhaps the starter is bad. I need to check the battery cables and battery, but is the starter also the generator? Assuming we can get it started, the next problem is that for the last few years or so, the tractor does not propel itself very well. At best it's slow, and on a hill it may not move at all, and the problem gets worse as the outside temperature rises and as the tractor is used. The transmission seems to have a fill tube, possibly added by the last owner, but no dipstick is apparent. There is no evidence of oil leaking. The engine has not been a problem, other than this recent incident after the winter storage, but the transmission issue is ongoing. Is there any reasonable fix for this transmission, or is the tractor ready for the junk yard? ]]> Husqvarna wrede http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/husqvarna/280630-starter-transmission.html
