Somehow sheared all 4 Engine mount bolts on my zero-turn. Snapper Pro S200XT with only 43hr on it, lol. Exhaust bracket and drive belt only thing holding Engine on. Thank God for warranties! Had to winch it onto my trailer with the RZR. Dealer's service guy has never seen one this bad, lol.

Yikes, did they mount the Engine with the packing hardware? :-) Glad you have the warranty...make sure you give it a good look-over after they are done. Often a job like this goes to the lowest skilled worker in the shop.
Have you been happy with the machine for the 40+ hours?

Loved every one of the 43hr so far.

Engine mounting bolt shearing horsepower is what I want for my oddy too.

Are you sure your kids weren't trying to do wheelies? lol

My kids are only 3 and 5, so definitely not! lol

Gonna' guess the front 2 bolts vibrated out (not sheared) and then the rear bolts bent & snapped when I engaged the PTO the last time. Once the fronts were gone, all of the deck belt leverage was on the two rear bolts.

I'm real easy on the PTO too, engaging/disengaging it at 3/4-throttle. Hell I'm easy on the whole mower including shop-vac'ing it after every mow and washing every other (seriously), full-syn oil, FRAM Ultra oil filter, 93-octane gas, etc. I only run the PTO-powered bagger for leaves in the fall -- it's on the shelf in the barn 360 days of the year.

1pm ET and I haven't heard from the dealer so either nothing else came up, or they haven't done anything.
