I bought a Husky GTH2548 about 3 years ago. Up till now it has been a very dependable machine. Last week I was mowing and heard a snap, looked under the deck and the spindle housing on the discharge side had broken. I took the deck off, went to the dealer and bought a new spindle assembly. Put it on and put the deck back on and went on with mowing.

About 5 minutes later I hear another snap and the spindle housing on the other side snapped. Why in the world would anyone use aluminum castings for housings that get the abuse these must.
