Missing several parts

When I received this I was excited as I mow 3 acres of grass and have dozens of mature trees that drop their leaves in the fall. The idea is great but the assembly is awful. Many bolts and brackets were not in the box so I had to make 4 trips to the hardware store to pickup bolts or things to fabricate my own parts. Unfrotunatly due to the hours of time spent in assembly once I found that I was missing the 1st part I was half the way done so it wasn't an option to return it and start over. after about 6 hours I finally got to mounting the hose adapter to my new 50" zero turn craftsman mower only to find that they don't include a template to cut out the opening for my model even though it is the correct unit by part number to buy for it. After making my own I cut it out and then discovered that the mounting brackets wouldn't work on the mower so I again had to buy metal and fabricate my own. Then after finally getting to use the machine while mowing my 1st pass the air cleaner assembly fell off the motor due to broken screw studs that hold it on. This probably happened during shipping. I had to epoxy it back on and wait overnight for it to set up before Then the next day I got about 1/2 way done mowing and noticed that the hose was leaking between the mower and the vacuum. It apparently had a weak spot on one of the folds. i have ordered another which is over $100.00 with shipping so hopefully when it arrives I will actually be able to finish my mowing job.
