I was wondering about the Kohler warranties,i bought a Husqvarna model number YTH21K46 in March of 2010..
I do all my own maintenance on all my equipment and vehicles..and i am thorough and picky about it..
This thing has always worked great and always happy with it,especialy since this was very first time i ever broke down and bought a brand new one,i have always bought used ones and did any work myself if needed,i still have to very old riding mowers with Briggs and Strattons and to this day still run well..but i just got tired of working on the decks and pther parts and broke down and bought a new one for once in my life...now i am starting to regret it dearly.......
I just changed the oil and filter in it about 2 weeks ago again,i always check my oil before running it..i used the recommended SAE 30 Kohler recommends for it..
Just yesterday,my wife was cutting the lawn,i heard a noise while she was running,so i stopped and checked it out,turned the blades off to make sure it wasn't the deck making the noise....i have a SERIOUS rod knock going on in the engine now and it is still full of fersh clean oil..
I called Lowe's 24 hour hotline,she said it is just a few months out of their warranty but still under the manufacture warranty(husq)..so i will be calling their hotline tomorrow with doubts because i read online Kohler only warranty their engines for 2 years?...
I am totaly PO'd right now..i spent 1600.00 on this thing..cash money "thinking" because it had a Kohler engine it would last a long time..boy was i mistaking.....
If i get a bunch of crap in the end that i am stuck with the repairs on this thing..where can i get a good replacement engine at a good price?..i am currently unemployed,will be back to work mid august,but my lawn can;t wait that long..lol..plus my old riding mowers i still have has not been ran in a while and need work on the decks....
I'll never get the urge to buy new again..i am PO'd right now and feel like a fool for trusting supposed reputable companies such as Husq and Kohler...
