the k-46 craps out around 200 hours or so ymmv
Not if you keep it clean and cool (do not over work it) and fill the K46 with 5-50 synthetic not the 10-30 that deere puts in it. Also for very low cost you can rebuild the K46 or even upgrade it to a K58 for an additional $80. Search the internet for "K46 repair guide with pictures"
