I had a self-propelled Crapsman walk-behind that lasted 2 1/2 seasons before the transmission failed. Cost new: $350. Cost for PARTS (not labor) to fix: $299. I junked it and bought a Honda Harmony, for $650. Money VERY well spent. I also now have a John Deere lawn tractor since we moved to a bigger property. So, if you like replacing your mower every 2-4 years, by all means by the Sears. If you want something that will last, spend a little more and get a Honda, John Deere, or Toro. It will last you a dozen years or more. -Tim I had even more trouble with my Craftsman Self propelled. I also paid 350.00 and mine lasted only one season. It is now sitting in my backyard waiting to be taken to the dump. It lasted one season. I have a rather large yard, but it is flat, and I probably should have gotten a lawn tractor instead, but I still believe the Craftsman should have lasted longer than one season. Brigitte Did you return it? Sears is pretty forgiving in the first year. -- Zl Arjfernqre vf orggre guna lbhef! (Rot-13) -- Tb# 40 42 12 |
