Deck Lawn Tractor http://www.mysears.com/Craftsman-17-5-hp-42-in-Deck-Lawn-Tractor-review-06692 <p>My Craftsman 42 in lawn tractor is indestructible. I let my grand kids drive it around the yard often and it never fails to work. I've replaced the blades, had it tuned up by Sears and take fairly good care of it. It doesn't look brand new, but the mowed lawn still looks like a new tractor cut.</p>...

It's been more trouble than it's worth. The headlight assembly has fallen off, the straps holding the mulcher cover on have snapped, the bagger was a waste of money ... and now that the coil wire has literally burned away, I need to now purchase an entire Armature-Magneto assembly. I can't just purchase a $5 coil wire. Nice.</p>&#13; <p>Next time (and it will be soon at this rate) I will purchase a John Deere. I'm done with Craftsman Lawn Equipment.</p>&#13; <p>Thanx for nothing!</p>...

In April 2009 the motor blew up right after we attempted to start it to cut the grass. The deck of this tractor appears new. Sears will not touch this. My previous tractor purchased at Lowes lasted 18 years. I will never purchase another tractor from sears. I am now without a tractor and cannot purchase another one. </p>...

It boasts the tightest 16 inch turning radius of all the Craftsman tractors.</p><p>The only one that beats it, is this year's new model, zero-turn-radius, Revolution tractor - which is at a considerably HIGHER price point than the LT-2000.</p><p>One of the very best accessories for any tractor is some type of trailer.</p><p>The store used to have FIVE of these tractors on the floor. We're now down to just the ONE...</p><p>You get a whole different perspective, while riding ABOVE it all.</p><p>:)</p><p>And, should you "find" a rock, stick, tomato cage, it's way better sitting above the blade than walking behind the blade - if ya know what I mean.</p>...
