Terrible customer service
Will never use Sears again . After waiting five acknowledged the cancel but the next day they shipped the order which by their terms negated me returning the items so after finding the parts elsewhere for less money and received those parts first now I'm stuck with extra parts. Very upsetting!

Not so easy to install for average Joe
Installing the service kit was part of the bigger project of replacing the entire 42 inch Craftsman mower deck. Just removing the mower deck could be intimidating to most. If you get the mower deck off that is the beginning of a 3 hour job. I bought a new mower housing with mandrel. Assemblies to replace a 21 year old rusted through deck.I re- used the moving parts from the top of the old mower deck. The pulley brake arms,springs and pulleys were replaced 5 years ago so those parts were in good shape.Take photos of the top of the deck from various angles.Also if possible remove and replace as a one for one exchange while rebuilding the mower deck.You will need an impacct wrench at least 500 pounds feet of force to remove rusted screws .I'm a 66 year old man and I was able to do this . A lot of people can do it and a lot can not do it .
