I PURCHASED A 18.5 HP RIDING MOWER FROM SEARS THE SUMMER OF 2005 IT LASTED 1 MONTH PAST THE WARRANTY, BLEW UP, AND I MAINTAINED THIS MOWER AND TREATED IT LIKE A BABY, THEN I CALLED SEARS TO SEE HOW MUCH A REPLACEMENT MOTOR WAS AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS 100.00 LESS THAN I PAID FOR THE ENTIRE TRACTOR. WHAT A SCAM THEY HAVE GOING, SINCE I PAID 1200.00 FOR THE THING THERE WAS NO WAY I WAS GOING TO PAY 1100.00 FOR A MOTER, STAY AWAY FROM CRAFTSMAN TRACTORS, THEY ARE JUNK, MINE IS SITTING IN MY FRONT YARD BY A BUST ROAD WITH A BIG LEMON SIGN ON IT FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE!!! SEARS OFFERED NO HELP TO ME SO I WILL DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM SHOPPING THERE!!
