Craftsman YT 4500 54" Kohler 26 hp Gas Powered Riding Lawn Tractor —
Most of the people who write reviews on here havnt waited till maintenence is due, well I did. What a nightmare, the local stores do not stock parts and the only service center in the state close, we live in Maine. Called in the parts order and half never showed up after a month waiting on 3 dif filters oil, air and fuel. Called the service line and my order was returned without ever even showing up to my door pretty amazing how that happened, no one knew how or why, nice to know never even recieved a phone call nothing. So after fighting with them for an hour the guy finally re-billed me and they charged me for an oil drain tube set me back another 3 uneccesary dollars and it doesnt even work made a mess first oil change, the drain is on the side of the engine and you cant tip the tractor on its side without doing damage. What a poor design easily could have put the drain on the bottom makes a lot of sense not to really are these guys serrious? So after a month I finally got it tuned up no anti-sieze on the plugs from the factory or silicone-paste on the wires what a surprise both came off very hard because of that. The Tractor itself is nothing special terrible traction for snowblowing with I never bought the blower attatchment, and as far as mowing goes the wheels do not turn on the mowing deck so when you take it off you have to lift the tractor over the deck to get it off very heavy and cant ruin someones back in a hurry I felt it the next week and into the next. Bottom line no parts, lousy, Poor and very cheap design, will not be purchasing another save yourself the trouble buy a john deer from a dealer you will thank yourself 10 times over. If sears is going to close their service centers, stores and go out of business why dont they just sell the craftsman line to someone who can handle it, do their customers a favor.
