I have owned my YTH24K48 since may of '13 and the only problem I have encountered is an electrical one. Seems one of the "safety" switches (unknown which one) won't allow the mower to crank when the key is turned on. Acts like a dead battery. I have found however that engaging the park break when I put it away will greatly reduce this from occurring. ??? Not sure what the difference might be between the YTh24V48 and the "K" other than mine has a KOHLER engine.
