I put together this video from 2 different days,
1st day the grass/weeds were a little wet from a storm the previous day & and very tall.

Thanks for posting! As a First time home buyer I never thought id be so excited to buy this!

😂 same reason why I’m here ! 😆

[@simongendry1823]

Lightweight is good and what did I use it for it’s a lawnmower kzbin.infoUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend Yes it is lightweight so hence not as robust as our old one. But if you take care it does the job really well.

[@juanzubiaga1161]

Modern Craftsman machines no longer need to press the red button next to the filter three times before turning them on, now you just pull the cord and it turns on, a detail that many do not realize

[@MAC35REM]

I am wondering why they still have that red button then. Is there a reason for it? Sorry, I don't know about lawnmowers but I need to learn how to use one soon.

[@juanzubiaga1161]

@@MAC35REM It is so that the gasoline enters the ducts and starts the ignition when pulling the starter rope. Some of the new machines are more automatic, you just pull the cord and they turn on.

I just purchased this mower. I also had the same mower you replaced with this mower. Small world. Agree with you on this mower. A lot more plastic. Also noticed is no priming with this mower. But much appreciate your help on getting mine together.

[@davidalonzojr8617]

I have this exact same mower but under the Troy Bilt name. I purchased it from Lowe's back in June of 2016. It is May of 2024 and it still works/runs great, cranking within the first two pulls. P.S: I've only changed the oil, blade, and spark plug once. That was back in 2021. I store it in my garage. Plus I always run it completely out of gas before storing it for the winter. I'm confident it will last at least another two years as I'm not ready to spend over $300 on a new mower. However, if I have to, I will buy this mower from Craftsman. Great review!

[@albertpintor3522]

I think it'll last for a very long time atleast the motor

[@davidalonzojr8617]

@@albertpintor3522 I'm confident it will. I maintain my equipment and don't leave it outside. Plus a new mower today would be pretty expensive.

[@THENEWBOOBTUBE]

Thanks! This made assembly SO much easier!

[@CurtisMassey]

I wanted a bagger so I could compost all that green gold. I just bought this today and from what I've seen of you cutting those 3 foot weeds, it's gonna serve me just fine. Thanks for posting the vid. Very helpful.

[@zacharywilliams8507]

you can use a ziptie to hold the safety bar down while mowing

❤❤❤I brought the same 140 cc yesterday ❤❤I’m enjoying this video. Now I see what it can do.

How is this mower running update plz

[@gregschneider1030]

Thank you for this - I gave up trying to get the bolts into the handles. The bolts seemed just too large. But now that it does look possible to do it, I will try again. In the meantime I have used the old faithful....zipties!

[@k.doolittle2473]

That is reason I found this vid.

[@davidmccann3651]

I bought it like new for 150$ at east side pawn shop! Love it!

[@taro546]

The oil bottle (supplied) had the right amount of oil (less than 15 oz.). They added a little before shipping. You added more than needed and that's why when you started the mower it smoked a little. It is better to run the machine with a little less oil than overfilled.

[@tomwatsonjr3003]

I never would have gotten it put together with the instructions provided. Thanks.

[@angelitakerlin359]

Same here!

[@crystalfludd8689]

did you not finish applying the bag or is it supposed to be that way ??

[@franzrojas7508]

Thanks for the video definitely I will buy it

Love these mowers, but am strongly considering to buy the craftsman self propelled m220 model from Lowe’s next spring in 2024. But love craftsman mowers, my dad had a 95 craftsman self propelled mower from sears many yrs ago, i did well.

Any idea why a brand new machine will not start? Oil and gas is filled.

[@keithienmason4643]

I've never had a new push mower with a bagger to it I'm sure it would be nice

[@cristianboldisor1175]

One thing I can tell is that today's lawn mowers are no longer made to last for decades like they used to be. Even the mid range ones are cheap plastic all around. I am thinking that it may be worth buying an used mower from 2 decades ago that still works. It may last longer than one of these new ones. As for this particular model you may see that is a bit underpowered. The mower has challenges of cutting higher grass.

[@Theultrazombiekiller]

I can attest to this. We have a 1994 Toro SuperPro push mower that my dad bought brand new in 1994, then he gave it to me. It still runs perfectly. Put some new wheels on it, new blades, and a tune up last summer and it starts within 2 pulls everytime still.

[@matthewbingham8824]

B.S. Only mower to ever buy is a Honda commercial. Will last 25+ years easy.

[@ijnfleetadmiral]

So very true! It's sad how quality has degraded over the years. I can still remember going to Sears and seeing the Craftsman mowers of the late 80s and early 90s...when they were SOLID and very little plastic was on them!

[@donnalorah2421]

The first bolt you put in does it get tight? Does it go into the bolt on the bottom and tighten?

[@donnalorah2421]

The bolt just turns and turns.

[@fatethagod]

How do I get it to start? 😂 I'm pulling the string but its not extending all the way out

[@plimb118]

That toy looks fun to use

How much gas do i need for the new mower

[@nichellederouch8994]

Thank you

I have a similar lawnmower. I honestly prefer the plastic on the bag/handle mount. It isolates vibrations soo much better vs the all-metal cub cadet I had years ago.

And no priming the bulb

[@hpdavid1]

Very disappointing. I just purchased this exact mower right out of the box did all the prep work to get it ready for use and the pull rope is seized and only pulls out around five inches or so. It also appears the blade strikes the underneath of the housing. Right out of the box, brand spankin new and it's not operational. I purchased it because I was under the impression Sears and Briggs and Stratton were excellent at what they do. Obviously I was wrong. I do not recommend this mower

[@islavavideos]

only thing i can think of if you missed the step at 4:55 those bars will hit with the blade if you dont pull it up. Other than that yea disappointing that it didnt work. Thanks for the feedback, others will find this helpful

[@matthewbingham8824]

These craftsman and push mowers are all junk. Anything you buy at home depot or lowes is meant for your home use, cutting on dry days when grass is NOT wet, and anything longer than 6 inches has to be weed whacked first. You should have been emptying that bag every 200 feet so it doesn't get all bunched up and ruining the engine. Invest in a good used riding lawnmower or a cub cadet string trimmer to use first on tall grass before using. The only mowers to use are Honda's, and even the commercial mowers you would never use to cut this tall of grass. Use common sense, if you spend less than $500 for any mower, you will always have problems.
