“It was great while it lasted, about 2 months.”
When I first got this mower I loved it. It started easily and the speed was great for getting the lawn mowed quickly. After a month or two a vibration developed and began to shake the whole thing apart. The two screws that hold the motor cover on came off, one of the bolts in the muffler came out, I've tightened the torx bolts in the frame and have lost one. I got on the Sears website and looked up some troubleshooting tips. I was directed to replacing my blade. I did that and it helped a bit. I finally took it into the store when I bought it and the young man assured me that it was still under warranty and that they would call if there was any problem. I got the call and man was there a problem. They estimate the repair to be $142. The parts include a blade hub, blade, filter, belt, plug, oil seal, crank shaft and crankcase gasket. I've not yet spoken to the service center but I am really not happy with this bill. It seems that if you have a nicely manicured lawn and never put any stress or strain on this mower, it will serve you well for years. If you have any rough patches or, heaven forbid, hit a stick or something in the yard, be prepared for a bill that is almost half the price of the mower.
