I just had my 3rd line replaced yesterday.

Deere knows there is a problem.
They say not to bolt the little tab that comes on the new line, but to use a "P" clamp fix. The problem is, the "P" clamp fix doesn't line up to bolt anywhere.

After my first one broke, in May, the 2nd one broke 2 weeks later. Then we just didn't clamp the 2nd line anywhere.
It lasted until now (november), but cracked again, in the same spot you mentioned.

My problem seemed to start, when I put a spinner knob on. My Deere mechanic is very good, and is waiting to hear back from Deere on it. It seems the gear box must flex just a bit, and over time (2 weeks, or 4 months) it wears at that line, causing it to crack.

Deere needs to come up with a rubber line, that can flex with the gearbox.... but I guess they are making money on us continuing to buy that steel line, so why would they give us a fix.

I work for a Deere dealer, and I do commercial lawn care.
And they wonder why I just bought a Gravely.
