I broke the link lift bar (left hand side) on my craftsman lawn tractor. has anyone else had this happen?

Question

could you please tell me how you went about replacing this link lift. does the mower deck have to be removed or is there an easier way of replacing it. have order the part from sears, but, it has no instructions. anything you can tell me, will help. thanks.

Answer 1

I had a craftsman mower and at least one of those broke every year. If I remember correctly, it could be replaced without removing the deck, but it takes some contortion on your part to get it done.

Do yourself a favor and ditch the cheap made craftsman and buy yourself a good John Deere.
