I'm aware now & will NEVER buy another one or anything with BRiggs & Stratton in it.
I have the John Deere L130 with a 23 HP Kohler motor on it. I paid $2600.00 for it. The motor is fine but I have had the small guide wheels bend and now I have to cross the starter with a screw driver to start as one of the safety switches went bad. I just can't afford a $7000.00 lawn tractor but I knew before I bought it that it wasn't the good ole John deere. It is what it is........Gary
