I recieved this mower last year. I have no problems with it, it runs great. My dad bought it for me so I could mow our yard with ease. I help me dad with trees that fall down in our woods. He cuts them up and i tow the trailer full of wood with the mower. Its great for leaf pick up in the fall. I recommend just taking good care of it, wash it after two mows. Also change the oil every year and she will always run like new.
First use, the clutch cable snapped on me, and the blades would not engage. The engine would die and not restart, it kept cutting out on bumps and small ditches due to the supposed safety features. I had to disconnect the bag switch just to keep from cutting out on hills. Every small bump caused the bag to move off the switch and cut the engine. Anything that it runs over can bump it off the switch. All they need is a longer switch plunger to fix this issue, add another 1/2 inch to it and it would be fine.
I am told by one Sears rep it has a mulcher kit, try and order one, it says not available...

I also was misled with tractor attachments and being able to mulch by a salesmen at the stores I visited... I blame myself on not checking into it further. Did not notice that...

It is really easy for me to unload the grass cuttings on my side rear discharge Craftsman lawn mower. The ease of the lift bar really helps me since I have limited stength in both arms and hands. Don't know how I would keep my yard looking so good with out it.
This 30 inch, side rear discharge mower is destined to be in the same class that the ledgendary Craftsman hand tools enjoy. It's comfortable riding and mows just the way the ads say. My lot is about 1/2 acre, pretty much level, and only a few trees with a couple of raised rose beds to mow around. I purchased it this summer and have had NO problems with it. I'm a dedicated mulcher, so puchasing the mulching kit ( for about 40 clams ) was a must, and installing it was a snap - 15 minutes at most. Be advised this machine does not come with the wash out port. Its extra for about 20 bucks, but...
