I thought I was charmed. I went through last season (100 hours) with none of the reported problems people post here. But in the last two months, I have had two!
The Air filter bracket broke. Instead of fixing, and fixing, and fixing, I opted for a $2.00 rubber tie down and wrapped it up, works just fine.
Yesterday, I hit a rock square on the hydraulic filter. It did not punture the filter, but it bent it so the seal failed. Fluid everywhere. I dumped as much soap in the area as I could to prevent it from killing too many plants.
Question, the oil filter top bent so the filter "wobbles" as you screw it on and off. Does anyone think I might have bent the mounting threads? I hope not!
Now I am just waiting to get a stick caught in the plastice fan under the drivers seat!
