Waste of hard-earned money, Anyone can go to Sears & get a key.

Craftsman 17.5 hp 42 in. Deck Lawn Tractor — 

I have a Craftsman 18 hp 42" Lawn Tractor. It's been more trouble than it's worth. The headlight assembly has fallen off, the straps holding the mulcher cover on have snapped, the bagger was a waste of money ... and now that the coil wire has literally burned away, I need to now purchase an entire Armature-Magneto assembly. I can't just purchase a $5 coil wire. Nice.

Next time (and it will be soon at this rate) I will purchase a John Deere. I'm done with Craftsman Lawn Equipment.

Thanx for nothing!

Sorry to hear that you are having so many problems with your mower. We've been able to keep ours running past its experation date and can't afford to purchase another one. However, we need outdated parts to keep it going. Are you interested in selling off any parts.
Thanks!
