John Deere E110 riding mower

As a small engine mechanic, I am not a fan of the new E series. It may look the exact same as the D series, but things have gotten cheap. The hood hinge/support is now flimsy PLASTIC. The bracket for the PTO cable is now PLASTIC. They no longer use a dual steering rod setup (more durable). They now use a single steering arm coming from the stearing gear that steers both wheels. And the icing on the cake? An unreliable briggs engine. A customer brought one in yesterday, 8.5 hours, and the PTO cable popped out because the plastic bracket is too flimsy. Also, the throttle control is ceased up. The bean counters clearly got ahold of the E series. Id only reccomend these if you have a rental property.
