Just got a call they are bringing my tractor back this PM. Took them two full days to split the case and reseal. I asked they service guy about the issue and if it was unique or not- He told me it's the third one they've done on this same model- and they said they were done a while ago and owners have not reported a return of the same issue. I guess the LS folks are aware now that there was a defect in the assembly process. Shouldn't cost you a dime and it should take two days- hope it works out for you.
