OK I owned a 2510 brand new no tower issues but the wheel bearings woukd go out in bout a yr but I was using it alot. As bearings would go out it would take out the drum seal the shaft seals and the drum. I re did em 2ce all 4 corners . I sold the thing off took a loss n chalked it off as a piss poor design.
We have a similar problem with the one at work. The hub splines strip out causing it to wobble which eventually kills the bearings. Trying to figure out why it keeps happening. Using oem parts this time.
@kcjilly2515 it just a piss poor design. If they came up with a heavier drive system it would work nicely. The briggs stratton diesel variation does well. The electrical is OK if you don't load it up with adds.
