Yeah...my neighbor cheaped out and bought a Craftsman last year. Within 2 weeks the transmission crapped out, and he actually had to fight Sears to get them to stand behind it. Finally, he had a relative fix it, because Sears was giving him problems. I guess all that I can say is 'Vaya Con Dios' should you purchase a Craftsman and expect longevity in using it. You get what you pay for... I'd put my old 1983 Allis Chalmers 914Hydro(Simplicity) up againt a green machine any day of the week! 20 years old and it still thinks it's a pup. I whole-heartedly agree with you on this one. I have been working on lawn-mowers since I was about 12 years old. I have customers who bought a Simplicity in the '70's and only bring it in once a year to be sharpen and tuned. Amazing machines that with the proper care will probably outlast your desire to mow your own grass. Also when they break down, the company is still around and parts are available for them. That is a very important think to be mindful of. Also looking for a unit with single piece steel deck is a good thing. Tend to last longer and do not rust through like the craftsman. |
