Does your state have a "Lemon Law". If you can prove that the mower was
defective and you tried to have it fixed, and it couldn't be, it might
qualify. You might use that tact the next time you go in.
You might also call the local TV station with a 'problem solver' segment.

I am still considering my options, including small claims court or
some sort of arbitration, but I'm not sure the problems with my Sears
mower rise to a level of severity that would interest the Attorney
General or a TV station. At the end of the day, it is a major
nuisance and a very bad deal... but that's about it so far. While I
am certainly ****ed (can you tell?), for all I know the mower could
last 5 or more years running this way before it explodes. Like folks
at work say to me... wrap the damn handle with foam pipe insulation &
tape or use some nice thick gloves!!! :-/ It shouldn't have to be
that way, but I must admit it: They've got a point.
