My "Nothing Runs Like a Deere" JD 300 transmission took a chit at a whopping 242 hours, out of 2 years warranty, mowed 1 acre of grass once a week, never again! I paid $3K for the JD, I just bought an XMark zero turn for $5K, it's a 10 times better mower! I think JD's are now made in China. Good luck.
