    Cutting Deck Problem

    Hi, I've noticed the cut quality of the right side of my 42" mower deck has declined recently.

Might be time to do it again...

    Best 42 inch cut from new mower?

    Kohler Engine Oil Filter

    I have a new GT50. This is the first tractor engine I've had with an oil filter. Are aftermarket filters ok to use on these? I know the factory filter is more expensive and I won't hesitate to use it if its necessary. If aftermarket is the way to go, is one brand better than others? Any to stay...

    New GT50 starter issue

    I have a new GT50 I bought from a big box store. This unit sat in front of the store with 2 others before I bought it. It was out in the elements for several months if not an entire year.
