I have owned a 175 since new. Mine did what you say as did most of them. Many people traded them or junked them with the idea they were a lemmon. Deere actually had a recall campaign which some engine cowling was changed which is what was done to mine and it has worked wonderfully ever since. No $ charge either because of warranty.
