Recent record....I have run my G1900 and B7800 three times in a row without breakage!

Between me hitting trees, pins popping out and dropping anti-scalp wheels under the mower deck, a failed alternator, leaky bucket cylinders, mouse damage this winter, I have been getting on my equipment with my fingers crossed each time. Hope I did not just jinx myself.....

You sound like my old L275. It still ran like a top but every time I tried to use it something else broke. After about a year I finally smartened up and upgraded.

Good luck with your machines.
