GOOD/BAD news: My 2045 was cosmetically perfect and it ran nicely for about 35 minutes, then it slowed down and started sounding like the gears were flying apart and I quickly shut off the power. Then I tried running it in reverse and it ran smoothly as before for about ten minutes until it started making the gear noises again. Then I found the traction tire that had been thrown off and I replaced it with the only one I had in that size (46mm). Engine then ran in reverse fine. Checked the second tire and it basically crumbled off. So I am awaiting a replacement from my dealer for it. Hoping it will allow my engine to run forward again!
