I only have 12 hours on my mower so far and the key pad has worked flawlessly for the entire 12 hours!

Too bad they don't powder coat the decks instead of painting them.

I had heard if you buy the keypads directly from the company that makes them for Spartan, only those came with a lifetime warranty. If purchased from Spartan, or a dealer selling Spartan parts, they only have a 3 year warranty. This may explain why the keypad manufacturer never got back to me...
