Yes, mine as well. I broke 1 in 18 years... The piece of granite did not give much either! However, spindles could be different on today's newer models...thx
Yes it will depend upon your yard and what sort of obsticles there are in it.
I buy those housing in boxes of 12 and go through 1 or 2 of each kind a year.
Some will mow for years with a cracked housing.
More than one customer would comment that before the service the mower cut sawtooth.
