Never will I buy another Husqvarna product ever again after this.
I think the older Husqvarna chainsaws and stuff are pretty good. Although I prefer Stihl. That frame thing is pretty sad. It won’t prevent me from buying their stuff tho, although it would be used, I’ll buy anything if the price is right.
My LGT2654 was a great mowing tractor, but the way it was built was just sad. I like that it had a metal hood and the 54” deck was fantastic but everything else around it was cheap and broke real easy.

Nice kit, but dang what a shame it had to be made.

I think I'd rather weld it and add a fish plate to to brace it up. That bolt on plate has that cutout right where it needs the strength I'm thinking. Maybe use the new bolt on with an extra formed plate to bridge that cut out area? But I have a neighbor up the way that has the exact same mower with the exact same failure, he went out and bought a new rider, just like the old one.
His frame broke so he bought the same thing again 🤦♂️
Some people dont realize that theres a issue with machines though. Most homeowners aren’t mechanically inclined. I wouldnt wish this though on my worst enemy.
The fact that the this repair patch manufacturer can't keep up with demand tells you all you need to know about Husqvarna's support. Sounds like it is classic "duck and dodgem'".
Sadly, it seems that most main stream homeowner brands have gone down the "5 and out" path. Pay new prices, it might run for 5 years, then out to the curb and buy new again.
Take a look at some of the parts supplier's diagrams for even a 5 year old machine. 80% of the parts shown in their replacement parts diagrams are just not available.
Maybe that partly explains the popularity of this site. No one wants to give up the reliability that comes with old machines. My 1996 Craftsman is still chugging along, even though I have little use for it now. The 1968 Sears Suburban Super 12 is a tank and only needs good cleaning and paint.
