Steering crapped out me today and I found a broken spring underneath. Any ideas what it may go to?

Hi guys, I have 127e mower and the right left tire always needs to be inflated every week. I've done the soap test, and I don't see any punctures. Anything else I should look for?

I think Messicks is the main place online. I went to my local dealer for an air filter, $36..ugh.

After mowing, I use a leaf blower to get the grass and debris off. Pretty soon I'll have to do a good cleaning under the deck. Powerwashing is probably too powerful, so soap and scrub I guess?

So I recently purchased a ZG127e mower, and although the manual states to use only Kubota oil filters, my dealer sold me a briggs and stratton filter. When I asked about this, they stated it was a direct replacement and would not affect my warranty. Think it really matters?

What a machine. The cadillac of mowers, to me at least. Got the bagger as well, very easy to take off, though I haven't used it yet. I read in the manual to shut off the carburetor fuel valve after use. Is that common practice for everyone?

For Husqvarna owners, would you buy from them again?

Anyone purchased one of these? I'm wondering how difficult it is to get on and off and whether folks are happy with their purchase.

Well, budget kept creeping up, and now here we are. -Kubota 127E-awesome machine, big $$, $800-900 for the bagger is a possible deal breaker -Hustler Fastrak-everyone loves them, very nice, but a little more $$ than the Kubota -Husky MZ5424s-solid machine, reasonably priced, affordable bagger...

The reason I ask is most of the mowers under $4k have EZT's, and I've had to replace one on my current mower at 212 hours. I'm thinking it may be worth it to go to the next level of mowers with a better transmission like the zt3100. Current ones I'm looking at are HusqvarnaMZ5424s, Kubota...
