I purchased a John Deere E140 in June of 2019 at Lowe's in Johnstown, PA. This machine has been in the West Central Equipment store in Ebensburg, PA on two different occasions due to a defective ignition switch. The mower has malfunctioned again today. It will not start, and the engine does not turn over when I turn the key. The mower only has 49 operating hours. This is a reoccurring problem, and I feel that I have bought a "lemon". I should have never bought this high priced item at a box store that does not service the product. My mower is now 2 years old, and I have had problems from the start. The Service Department at West Central Equipment has been extremely helpful in both of the prior times my mower has needed serviced. It is my intention to trade this E140 more in on a new riding mower at West Central Equipment.
