In Reply to: Husqvarna rider 155 for 1/3 acre lot posted by Jim on Monday, March 10, 2003:
Thought I would post some info on my Rider 155 that may be of interest to all of you. My Rider is 2 years and 2 months old. We have a 2 year warranty on this mower from Husqvarna.
I just lost the transmission cable that operates the forward reverse pedals. I think that 2 years is premature for failure of this cable and called Husqvarna USA about it. They are covering the cable but I have to pay for labor to replace it at my local dealer. It's something that I could do, but they won't cover the replacement cable unless the dealer handles it.
Overall I can't complain about what they have done, but I am concerned that @ $53 per cable this could become an excessive maintanence expense.
Should any of you guys run into this I was told by my dealer that it usually takes the customer to call Husky direct to get any consideration beyond the warranty. Don't blame the dealer for directing you that way. I was also told that this cable failure isn't uncommon @ 2 years or less. Time will tell I suppose. Any other cases out there?
