This caller reports that his lawntractor is not recalled with release# 02-517 once the serial number is checked although his model number is on this release. He purchased his tractor 9/16/2000 from Bryan's ACE Hardware in Interlachen, FL. The consumer notes the tractor is used infrequently and has low hours for its age. He states that around September 6th, 2014 after refueling the tractor he noticed that the gas tank had cracked at the top seam and fuel was leaking. This creates the same hazard as those recalled with release# 02-517 and he is asking that his lawntractor be recalled and repaired. He is bringing the reasoning to the forefront that possibly units before the recalled productions possibly also have the same flaw. There have been no injuries The caller did contact the manufacturer on Monday, September 8th, 2014, spoke with a customer service rep who forwarded the call to a supervisor. The supervisor contacted the caller Tuesday, September 9th, 2014 and advised the caller that his unit is not recalled but that if he took his lawntractor to a John Deere dealer, had it examined, got a report etc. they may fix it, or may not. He states that this incident involves the same part number as those recalled. He would like to be reimbursed at manufacturer expense for the cost of the replacement tank he purchased to install himself. The consumer also notes the replacement tank he purchased via internet arrived, and on 9/20/2014 he installed it. He indicates he is retaining the old (defective) tank.

The steering on my Kubota Tractor is very loose and when you turn it takes 2 to 3 times for the wheels to catch up. This very danerous when you get close to a tree or building and feel you are going to not turn in time to miss it. This probelm has been going on since I bought the unit new in 2005. I just seen this probelm listed on a kubota forum and decided I should report it too.

Sears Craftsman 26 HP Lawn Tractor Model #917.287420 bought in Spring, 2007. Numerous issues with transaxle failing, causing risk of injury due to loss of control. numerous service calls later, transaxle replaced in October, 2012. Replacement transaxle again failed due to loss of fluid, resulting in loss of control. Sears refused to replace transaxle twice (citing out of warrantee), regardless of safety issue

The steering on my Kubota BX2200 tractor fails during operation. I will be traveling and without notice I will lose steering capability. I can turn the steering wheel and the tractor will not turn as needed. The tractor has gone out of control as a result that could have caused great property damage and personal injury. I have been lucky so far. The local dealer informed me that there has been NO service bulletins or recalls issued per his research.

On 9/22/16 I was mowing my lawn on my Cub Cadet LTX1045. I parked it about 10 feet from my house and came inside. I got a phone call from my neighbor who told me to come outside because my tractor was on fire. When I got outside, the fire was about eight feet high and was fed by the gasoline. I melted the siding on my house to a height of about fifteen feet. The LTX1045 is a 2011 model and I see other mowers of MTD manufacture have had a gas leak problem.

Onondaga County Medical Examiner’s Office This 73 year old male had an extensive medical history. It was presumed that on 09/03/2022 the decedent was working on his brush hog in his yard.

COD: Blunt force trauma with compression torso with contributory factors of Hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease MOD: Accident

Moving my Kubota L3400 out of a shed the ROP bar struck an overhead beam and collapsed (without damage to the beam). Examination of the failure indicated that either the design of the bar or a defect in its manufacture caused insufficient material to be present to withstand the load and the "lug" ruptured. Had the cause of the contact been an incident in which the ROP bar was intended to provide protection, with any involvement of forward movement, the bar would have been useless (and I would have been killed or severely injured). The problem was reported to Kubota and they "could take my report but could not assist".

About eight years ago we purchased a |Poulan Pro (#PRGT22H50B) brand new from a Sears store. I am very disappointed in the quality of the tractor. The tractor gas tank seam has split and is leaking gas. Made me very upset when my teenager was on it and sparked a small trail from the gas leaking. Could be very dangerous and ignighted the tractor with him on it. We always purchase Sears products because of the quality and how Sears sttod behind thier name. Who makes a gas tank out of plastic, so dangerous! Poor Quality for the amount of money we spent on it. Very Disapointed [REDACTED]
