Purchased new in June this year. Cub Cadet Garden Tractor Model GTX2100. It had 31 hours the first time the hood melted off. It got a second hood and heat shield modification. It melted the hood off again. It is now getting its third hood installed (under warranty) and they've stated they will Not refund my money. It emits an unpleasant odor from the engine bay while mowing, and disfigures the hood horribly. The oil drain line that rests beside the engine is also melting.

On August 17, 2014 I was mowing our field with our 2 year old Husqvarna YTH 2454 lawn tractor, with a [REDACTED] 24 HP engine, model 445677, Type 0176 E1, Code 060103YG. After about an hour of mowing it suddenly stopped running as if the key had been turned off. When I attempted to restart it about 2 pints of fuel leaked out of the hot muffler. I could not see the leaking fuel because I was sitting on the tractor. I found out later that it was also pumping fuel into the crankcase. Fuel leaking trough the hot muffler could easily have caused a fire. Fuel in the crankcase could also damage the engine. I contacted the dealer and spoke to a mechanic. After discussing a few options he felt it was probably the fuel solenoid. He mentioned he had seen the failure before. I contacted [REDACTED] email help line. After several emails their representative, even though I suggested the fuel solenoid as the problem, told me I needed to re-build the carburetor. I went online to order [REDACTED] parts for the engine and discovered that the fuel solenoid had been discontinued and was no longer available. I again spoke to the mechanic and he said he thought it was strange a part like that on a 2 year old engine, was no longer available without a safety recall. The mechanic ordered the new replacement fuel solenoid and I after the solenoid and drained the fuel from the crankcase, the engine runs fine. That amount of fuel leaking through the hot exhaust and muffler is a dangerous situation. It could easily resulted in a fire. [REDACTED] n knows of this problem because it has discontinued the previous fuel solenoid. This is a dangerous safety issue and the engines should be recalled and repaired.

I purchased a Craftsman Lawn Tractor from Sears in Athens, TX and picked it up 7/29/16. The second time I mowed with it I was putting it up in the barn and I noticed dust rising and I park it on a rubber mat and it cut the mat. The blades were still turning even with the PTO disengaged. The next time I mowed I noticed that sometimes when I would disengage the PTO the blades were still turning and then I lifted the deck and the blades fully engaged even when the PTO lever was in OFF position. I called the service dept. and they sent a repairman out 9/16/16. He told me that when dirt and grass get on the mower deck it can keep the brake from fully engaging. So he cleaned it off and it worked. The next time I mowed the same ting happened. This is a lawnmower that is suppose to cut grass and normally grass and dirt are going to get on the deck. So is a person suppose to do?? I went to Craftsman website and sent them a complaint 9/20/16 and still have not heard anything. If someone is unaware of this problem and gets off the mower or if a child or pet ran up to someone on the mower and they believed the blades where disengaged, it could have terrible results.

(03/2017) The consumer stated that he was on the tractor. The tractor had ben running for about five minutes when the front of the unit caught on fire under the hood. The consumer tried to put it out with his gloved hand but had to dump water on the hood to put the fire out. No injuries. (08/2017) The consumer contacted MTD. He was advised that nothing could be done.

Cutting Grass and suddenly fire in engine compartment of the garden tractor from Sears (Craftsman which is manufactured Husqvarna. I was sitting on the tractor and saw fire coming out of engine not the in the mower area.

I purchased a Cub Cadet LTX1050 Lawn Tractor in 2013. I was going up the hill in my back yard and the transaxle started singing real loud, it stop pulling up the hill and started going backwards. I got it stopped by using the breaks. I have reported it to Cub Cadet but they are not concerned about it. This Tractor Started having this problem with a 100 hours on it and by the time cub cadet found some one to look at it, it was out of warranty I still can not ride the tractor up the banks in my yard. Someone is going to get killed on these tractors, but cub cadet does not care

The tractor has a transmission that is totally sealed and cannot be maintained. Five feet down the driveway he noticed no resistance. He said the brake, is more of a parking brake which did nothing. He says it was continually gaining speed, got down to the bottom of the hill. He could not see from one direction and was headed towards the street. His only path would have been over the street and an embankment and over a creek bed. He decided to bail out. He received a rash on both arms, both legs his backs, hands and feet. He received says the unit failed without any warning. It failed and is a total design flaw. He ways the wheels should have locked up and not free wheel
