Local dealer called, and requested that I bring in the 1130Se asap for some retro fix for the drive problem. I didn't talk to him, so I don't know exactly what that will be. He said he wants them ALL taken care of before mower season starts. Anyway, if you haven't been contacted yet... you may want to give them a call... apparently, there is a fix, and you may as well let them do it. I'll report back when it's finished.
Hi trek, did you get your machine back?
I just picked one of these up at my local Lowes store yesterday for $800, ($890 on seasonal closeout with 10% coupon) new, never started. If the two that were sitting there were not sold by next weekend the guy said they would go up on a shelf until this Fall.
Do you guys think I should just ring my local JD dealer on Monday, or should i go with calling B&S or JD directly? Looks like a beast of a machine, just hoping to see if there is a service bulletin out yet and if there really is a kit to fix it that can be provided to the JD dealer.
