I'm still beating up on the dealer, but thought I'd see if anyone has seen this issue.
After cutting a 1 acre lot, and the engine, pumps, etc have all been working for about an hour. And ESPECIALLY if the day it hot (80-90 degrees). When I pull the lever to set the parking brake the cables "feel restricted" and the mechanical arm that slides to push the switch closed (under the seat) will not fully move, thus not closing the switch. When I release the brake it feels like the cables are not "free" enough to fully disengage the brakes.
The dealer has replaced the linkage, but now I think the problem is elsewhere.
When the mower hasnt been running for a while or if the day is cool this doesnt seem to be a problem.
Has anyone had this kind of problem and if so what has been your experience with the resolution?
