@Carl, That is the best estimate that I have too. I am being told the PGT-9000 is completely new this year. I don’t have any specifics yet though.

@Chris,

Sears likes to have name brand equipment on their sales floor. They use those brand names to pull you in so they can sell you a Craftsman. (I’m told they even had John Deere one year)

Those name brands are not supported well though. In your example, sears carries the bagger, but nothing else. In fact you have to special order the blades if you need new ones. There is no additional information available for that mower.

@Chris,

I really didn’t pay much attention to the Snapper LT 125 sold at Sears this year. My understanding it is not a “real” Snapper but a “big box store” version made by a jobber for Snapper. (John Deere. MTD and other companies make “big box store” versions of their tractors also.)

If you go to managemyhome.com you can search for the manual for the Snapper lt 125. Then use the model number off the manual and look at parts diagrams on searpartsdirect.com. You can look at the deck there.

@ Chris,

Actually I thought I was agreeing with you. The post for the plans is still up (I don’t take posts down) Do a search on “cadplans” and you should find it.

but you can only get the Turbo Collection System from a snapper dealer but you can get the bagger from sears
