Craftsman 17.5 hp 42 in. Deck Lawn Tractor —

I bought this mower after having a Craftsman for 15 yrs. I figured if I could get 15 years out of one, might as well get another. This one didn't let me down, it is great. It has a strong B&S motor, cuts smooth, and its a comfortable ride. I hope this one last 15 years plus!
