Original Comment I purchased a Husqvarna lawn tractor in June 2012. I am now on my 5th battery and waiting for a pick up date for service the third time. I purchased model# YTH21K46 serial#051712D022030 from Lowes in Lynchburg, Va. A few months later the battery was dead? Alta-Quip picked up the mower for repair and a week later returned it stating the battery is dead? Well duh! Anyway Lowes replaced it however a few months later it was dead again. This time I took it to Lowes per the manager's request and Alta-Quip picked it up for service this time they did replace a couple of part (the stater and something else-it's on file) and returned it to Lowe's for me to pick up. Well when I picked it up the battery was dead so again Lowes replaced the battery per the store manager. Recently I had to buy another battery, this time I purchased one from Advance Auto. Starting okay, but the mower was still not running right and would give me a shock at times when I would sit down. Well anyway the latest adventure with this lemon was yesterday (Thursday June 12th) it sputtered as if out of gas and then when I turned the key "nothing" not a grunt nothing. I'm no mechanic however my neighbor has a Husqvarna and he knows a little bit about the mower. So after examination under the hood it appear that the regulator/rectifier was fried. The mounting bracket broke and the thing had probably been arcing for sometime until it hit metal and stopped everything. It appears to me that you would have had to remove that to get replace the stator? So I'm wondering if it was too loose or too tight either way it fried the part. I have other Husqvarna products and have had not problems. I have two other neighbors that own Husqvarna lawn tractors they too have had no problems I guess I'm the lucky one to get the lemon of the bunch. Live and learn................Thanks John
