After purchasing a top of the line Craftsman Garden tractor with s****.>
No paperwork or owners manual when delivered.
The tractor as delivered had the front tires so bowed in it wouldn't steer. Had to replace front tie rod.
The tractor as delivered wouldn't start. Keyless Smart Switch was bad. After waiting 2 weeks for service guy, he didn't have the part. Had to order. Took another two weeks to receive. Finally got the tractor started.
Now the new Smart Switch won't hold programming. Couldn't use the s****.>
Now the vinyl seat cover on my new tractor with less than 15 hours on it (garage kept-never in the weather) has has completely fallen apart, foam sticking out. Called Sears Customer Service an after being switched around to 5 different Tech Service people I am told...gee this shouldn't happen & Oh by-the-way it's not covered under your extended or manufacturers warranty. This is a COSMETIC item.
After 50 years of buying at Sears I will never buy another Sears /Craftsman product again. They don't care & their products are cheap junk! No wonder they are on the verge of bankruptcy
