Who makes the John Deere branded engines?

Or the customer already been playing repairman which voids most warranties.
That happens a lot on this forum also. People with brand new mowers and asking how to fix it, and then complain they have to have the dealer take care of the problem.
 
warranty policies have been a challenge for years in all industries. In the 1970's I ran a big chain store like a Best Buy or Fry's before they folded. Panasonic, Pioneer, Sansui etc,. gave us a choice of them repairing defects under warranty, or we could take 15% off the bill and handle it ourselves. The idea is that if a manufacturer has a 15% warranty rate on roducts then taking 15% off you can just give the client a new one. Then the business can scrap the old one, or sell it as-is to someone who wants to work on it themselves. I suspect the mower industry has something similar in their pricing.
