for Craftsman Front Propelled Rear Bag Lawn Mower w/ High Wheels prices
I purchased this mower a few days ago as a refurbished unit, and did not really expect much. I needed a new mower in a hurry and this was in front of the store for $155 so I figured it was worth a shot. After examining the mower it was obvious the engine was new, so I would guess the original owner did not put oil in it or ran over something, very little ware anywhere else on mower. After using it I am amazed at how well it cuts, the self propelled mechanism worked flawlessly and the power was fantastic. So far this is the best mower I have owned. Only con is the bag could be a little larger.
This mower replaced a very similar 1996 model Craftsman. After 13 years of use, the old mower was donated to Goodwill. The new mower has similar issues as the older one: The front propelled belt came loose in the first 10 minutes. Ignoring the instructions to remove the blade, I removed the top cover and retainer and repaired the belt. No problems with the belt once I got a feel for the action --squeeze the bar. The rear guard cover was destroyed by the blade as I pulled the mower back -- same thing happened on the old mower. If the purpose of the guard is to prevent objects from...
read full review »My wife and I just bought a house and so I needed a lawnmower. I bought this one. I was very pleased with it. The self-propelled part is great. Takes a load off of my shoulders and my arms. Easy start. Used a snapper when I was younger, I would kill myself trying to start it. This one you prime 3 or 4 times pull the cord and bam...it starts! The self propel belt actually fell off of the mower the first time I used it, but that was my fault. I was moving in deep **** and the mower had to give up so it would die. That was fine, easy fix. I do wish the bag was bigger, but it is good sized. I have...
read full review »I've got about a half-acre of hilly grass to cut, so this self-propelled model seemed like a good value. I also thought I'd try a large rear wheel design for improved turning. This model does cut much better than my old craftsman, but the belt for the self-propelled feature came off the front drive pulley during the first cut. I took the pulley cover off, but then decided to take it back to Sears. The staff there offered put the belt back on and then bent the two metal "keeper" bars inward to prevent the belt from slipping off again. So far, that fix seems to have worked, but a bad...
read full review »Do not buy this product!! I have had my Craftsman 650 Series Briggs & Stratton engine lawn mower for 5 weeks and it already looks like I've had it for 5 or more years. The first usage the back flap was eaten badly by the blades and now after two uses the bag attachment has worn off places on it. I have a small yard and this machine is a nightmare to use. If you are a lady I really do not recommend it because it is a little heavier than we need. I don't feel like the self-propelled portion of this works as wonderfully as it should either.For what I paid it is definitely not worth it. l could not...
read full review »This mower has been reliable for 7 years. I mow 2/3 acre several times each summer by hand and haven't had a problem yet. Compared with other mowers I've used this one is sturdy and solid and simply a joy to use!
very hard to handle, decent cut though. have to press on 3 bars & hold them in to work the self propelled; really poor design & hands hurt like hell after an hour of mowing. **** blade rattles & comes loose a lot. backflap is a pain the *** & just gets in the way. big real wheels are nice & easy to turn.
I purchased this new lawn mower. After opened the box, setting up, and started running at no time - maybe 20 minutes. The feature of front-self propelled is great when mowing the yard with high elevation. Love it - Craftman is great. First pull, the engine starts right away. I have used all my yard and garden tools from Craftman, and they are all meet my expectation. Would recommend you to try it. Won't be regret of what Craftman tools have offerred to you.
