I have only replaced one $950 prop shaft on the CX-15. It’s about 7 years old and has earned me a lot of gross profit (I do about $40,000/yr in field mowing).….of course a tractor is required, too.…..Good maintenance and a nickle's worth of grease saves a lot of money and helps for many trouble free hours of work.
The paint looks excellent, it’s mechanically excellent and would sell for about 3/4 of what I paid for it if I sold it tomorrow
I still don‘t know why it broke. The U-joint just heated up and locked up on fire.
Been a great mower. John Deere makes great stuff. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
I’d own more Deere equipment if I could.
