Manufacturers give me a slow burn. They don't want you to get anything repaired. If it's a cheap little part that you need it is often in a kit with a whole lot of things you don't need and you pay big bucks for it. They do it so you will think it's not worth fixing and will buy a new one. They change models in insugnificant little ways, so you can't buy parts. That's the reality of living in this throw away world of today. Now that I've vented----

Did you pay extra for this warrantee? If you did I would write to Husqvarnna and ask if the part is available. Not all dealers will go to the trouble of getting a part for an older machine. They want you to buy a new one. If the part is not available, demand a refund if you paid for the warrantee.

Call around to other repair places--ones that fixes all makes and models. Often a part from another make will fit a different make.

I wish you luck

Very disappointing to have this happen. Even the "factory" repair do not keep parts. A good viking dealer usually has a "archive of vikings" that have been traded in, broken like yours and they are parting them out, i.e. - - - Taking parts to fix others. Keep looking.
