Thanks for the details. The specs claim yth is fabricated which I thought would mean not stamped but haven't seen one in person. She's going to the deere dealer to test drive the x380 and x390.

That's disappointing. Toro only seems to sell zero turns which she doesn't like. Talking to JD dealer about x380, it's about $1500 higher than the ts354

My wife is looking at these 2 models at Lowe's. Obviously, to TS is a better built unit but is it $2k better? Given past experience with big box mowers I'd expect 5 to 10 year life from the YTH. Is that realistic with either of these? Better options in this price range? She wants new vs used...

Thanks, that clears things up and also explains 2 failing in short order. No way it was torqued adequately.

Thank you. I was just coming back to report I found it but didn't know the length. I'll try to locate one locally tomorrow and see.

Anyone know correct part number for flywheel key on 31P677-0144-B1 ser 090513ZD83741? Should correct part be steel or aluminum? TIA

My gear drive unit won't move most of the time unless I put it in the highest gear. Does this sound like a belt issue or transaxle? What should I check? it is very hard to access anything on this machine I haven't really looked at much.
