Craftsman Lawn Mower Complete Deck
September 06, 2022

I would have given this a rating of 4.5 if for a few deficiencies. The deck appears to be of good quality but there is some squealing coming from the bearings. Additionally, my deck did not come with either springs for the brake or the grass shoot.

Wrong deck
August 07, 2022

Salesman ordered the wrong deck for me; I'm out $600 as there is no return. Last time I buy from Sears.

Was what needed but the shipping costs .......WOW!
July 30, 2022

Needed to replace the deck fue to wear and tear causing some holes in the top. It came complete with 99% of the deck assembled. Just needed to add a couple of sprind and the deck wheels from my old deck. The mulching cover from my old deck doesn't fit as tight so im getting a buldup of clippings between it and the deck. The deck fit perfect. What wasnt perfect was the 2 month wait (which i understand with the supply issues ) What im really unhappy with was the shipping costs. A $300, 80lb deck cost me $200 additional for shipping. 80%of retailers offer free shipping over $x , nope, not here.... But i needed it so hopefully ill get another 12-15 years out of this one

Bent wheel mount deck
November 04, 2021

Deck arrived on time. I went to install new wheels and one of the rear mount brackets was bent so the wheel canted in. It required straightening.

New life for my Craftsman tractor
October 14, 2021

This came on time and in perfect shape. Good communication on delivery status and progress. Didn't come with the guide wheels which was a surprise but it did come with new blades which was an upside surprise. Generally easy to install, just heavy.

Only had to swap the mower wheels and install one spring and the deflector which was the most testing of my skills in installing with its spring.

OEM fit great!
July 06, 2021

Caught a great sale. Very fast delivery. Fit great. Packaging lacking. Needs proper reinforcement and rear wheel mount blocking. Came with bent rear wheel brackets. Able to sledge them back to approx. proper angle. Shipping excessive, take advantage of fridge filter subscription promo.
