“worst craftsman mower ever”
Sorry to have waited so long to write this review. Model is the 917.376742. Bought at end of season, 2007 only because of electric starter and craftsman name. Took it back before the years warranty was up at the end of last season to get parts changed because the larger rear wheels tilted. Thought is was parts problem but after another season, wheels are titling again so it is a design problem. Front drive wheels are slipping, one stops spinning when going uphill gets just tad difficult forcing more back breaking than a power mower should.
Very disappointed with mower and of course craftsman. Have several products and never really had a problem until this piece of ****. My money would have been spent better rebuilding my Toro which was over 8 years old. The only thing I ever changed on my Toro was the blade and oil and wheels.
