Reviews

Transmission for front self propelled mower
July 17, 2022

With my very limited knowledge of lawn mower repair, replacing the transmission to make the self propel feature work for the front wheels, was a fairly straightforward fix, not too difficult at all. Though a little pricey, the transmission from Sears Parts Direct works perfectly!

Transmission Part was Perfect Fit
June 14, 2022

It was a perfect replacement part for my Craftsman lawnmower. I've had issues in the past with the wrong parts being shipped multiple times since Husqvarna took over the parts for Sears/Craftsman, but this time, the transmission part they sent was the right one and fit perfectly.

SELF DRIVE GEARBOX REPLACEMENT
July 28, 2021

REMOVALOF THE ORIGINAL GEARBOX WAS A PROBLEM WITH REMOVING THE PULLEY, OTHERWISE IT WAS NEARLY A PIECE OF CAKE, EXCEPT I PUT THE WHEEL HOLDERS ON BACKWARDS. EASY FIX... NOW IT REALLY PULLS GREAT.

This is a fairly complicated installation.
July 26, 2021

After viewing several U-Tube videos, I finally tackled the installation today. I used many of the tools in my collection to complete the installation. It is easier if you have a large workbench upon which to place the lawnmower. Be sure to disconnect the spark plug and to put a baggie under the gas cap to prevent leakage. I had to drill a hole in the side of the new gearbox housing to accommodate the cable end attachment. I should have replaced the transmission shaft BEARINGS at the same time on my 11 year old lawnmower.

The video sent did not go with the Craftsman mower that I own. The basic guidelines were there though along with safety. It took about two hours to complete the job, granted it took time, but a repair man quoted me 210 to fix and I bought the part for 85. So overall I feel good about the experience and the fact I did it myself too! Thanks Sears
