• As you may be aware, Craftsman products have
  long had a reputation for durability and
  performance under the toughest conditions. This
  extends to their lawn mowers as well. However, if
  you have a large area to mow and/or tough, hilly
  terrain, potentially with obstacles such as
  trees, shrubs, fences, and other objects, you
  should consider Craftsman's line of riding mowers
  to make the job easier.

3

• Craftsman riding mowers are not only built to
  withstand the toughest terrain, but also handle
  exceptionally well, giving the operator a smooth
  riding experience that actually makes mowing and
  doing other tasks around the yard enjoyable.

4

• In addition, Craftsman has a variety of mowers
  that range in the amount of ground you need to
  cover and how much weight you need to haul. These
  are the most important considerations when
  selecting a Craftsman riding mower.

5

• If this is your first time purchasing a
  Craftsman mower, a great choice is its line of
  hydrostatic transmission lawn tractors (another
  name for riding mower). These machines will make
  mowing the yard a cinch, and with their tight
  turn technology, which yields a turning radius of
  just six inches, your ability to maneuver around
  obstacles and cut close to them will be
  unmatched.

6

• This mower includes four durable gauge wheels
  and a cutting decks ranging from 46 to 54 inches,
  allowing you to mow large areas in minimal time.
  It comes in red or black and can be found for
  sale in any state but California.

7

• If you are on a more limited budget and are
  looking for a less expensive riding mower that
  can get the job done, look no further than the
  Shift-On-The-Go lawn tractor. This mower is
  powered by a 17.5 horsepower engine and
  incorporates a 7-speed shift-on-the-go
  transmission to make shifting easy and save time.

8

• With this mower, there is no need to stop,
  brake, or clutch to increase the speed. The 42
  inch deck provides the same great cutting
  performance Craftsman mowers are known for. While
  the turning radius is not as tight on the
  Shift-on-the-go mower compared with the
  hydrostatic lawn tractors, 18 inches is nothing
  to sniff at.

9

• For a simple, inexpensive riding mower that
  helps you get the job done enjoyably in less
  time, the Shift-On-The-Go riding mower may be
  your best option. Unlike the line of hydrostatic
  mowers, it is for sale in California as well as
  all the other states.

10

• Craftsman makes a number of other riding mowers,
  many having significantly more power and more
  hauling capacity than those discussed above.
  Although these mowers come with a higher price
  tag, if you have a significant amount of
  difficult terrain to mow, they may be worth
  looking into.

11

• In addition, consider what accessories you might
  want to use with your Craftsman riding mower,
  such as a rototiller, lawn aerator, or sweeper,
  for example. Different Craftsman mowers can
  support different attachments.

12

• All machines have some replaceable or
  serviceable parts that need to be changed from
  time to time in order for the machine to remain
  functional and in proper working condition. Lawn
  mowers and riding mowers are no different, and
  that includes the Craftsman brand.

13

• When shopping for Craftsman riding mower parts,
  there are many factors that you must consider in
  order to make sure you have the right parts to
  keep your Craftsman riding mower running as it
  should.

14

• Spare parts and accessories are labeled with
  special numbers or codes for ease of
  identification. However, since there are myriad
  different kinds of accessories for a large number
  of machines, it might at times not be easy to
  tell which one belongs to your particular
  machine. It is important to choose the code
  corresponding to the correct part for your riding
  mower for it to work as intended.

15

• Once you know the correct part number, you can
  easily walk into any store that stocks these
  items and present the exact code of the item you
  need, and the attendant should be able to produce
  it if it is in stock. Make sure you buy from an
  authentic dealer to avoid the possibility of
  receiving fake or incorrect parts.

16

• Assuming you have identified a number of
  authorized dealers who can supply the riding
  mower parts you need, there are still other
  issues that you need to consider. Among them are
  the choice of a good store from the many on your
  short list. At this point, you need to look
  beyond authorization alone. The style of service
  delivery will become important at this point.

17

• When there is more than one store with the item
  you need, you should narrow your demands to get
  the best deal possible out of the many stores
  willing to sell to you. This means you should
  start looking at stores that will give you more
  value for your money. For example, you could look
  for one that will provide the best prices and
  offer additional services as well.

18

• The additional services may include free
  delivery and support when applicable. Some stores
  may even have personnel who can do the fitting in
  case you want them to do so at affordable rates.
  If you can find such a store, it is better to
  deal with them directly so that your warranty
  remains in place for longer.

19

• If the store somehow damages the accessory
  during fitting, they will take responsibility and
  replace the part. However, you will want to avoid
  instances in which you could buy a faulty mower
  part but fail to claim a refund simply because an
  outside technician fitted it.

20

• In these cases, the store may claim the warranty
  is now void since the Craftsman riding mower
  parts failed due to technician error. Unless you
  have a lot of experience replacing parts on lawn
  mowers, your best bet is probably to buy parts
  from an authorized dealer and have a trained
  technician that works for the dealer handle the
  installation.
