I replaced the deck on my Craftsman Lawn Mower, and needed a new water nozzle and some screws to hold the front wheel assembly on.
I removed the rear wheels, then I removed the blade, then the motor, then the front wheel assembly. The bolts holding the front wheel assembly were rusted and rounded trying to remove them, so I cut them out with a grinder. Afterwards I removed the remainder of the screw with a pair of pliers. I also removed the Water jet cleanout nozzle, found it was cracked, ordered the part from PartSelect, along with the screws needed to attach the front wheel assembly. I cleaned the remaining parts and re installed them onto the new deck. First, I installed the front wheel assembly, then the motor, then sat the mower upright, installed the blade, then took the rear wheel assembly and aligned it and fastened it to the deck. Last piece was the water nozzle. I placed it in the recess for it, and fastened it with the bolt. Then I tested the mower, and it worked without issue. Afterwards I used the new clean out port to rinse the underside of the deck, and it worked well.

The front cover assembly developed a crack and caused the front wheels to be uneven.
Using the appropriate wrench I removed the 5 bolts that held on the old cover assembly. Then I removed the wheels and put the on the new part then used the same bolts to attach the new assembly.

Motor built by Honda ran perfectly...deck was totally rusted and rotten
Removed front wheel assembly (5 screws) Removed rear wheel/handle assembly (3 screws and disconnect control cable with pliers), removed blade (1 bolt)...transferred all to new deck with new screws and washers (deck screws are easy to remove and replace as they screw into plastic)...Before installing blade I sprayed under deck with truck undercoating spray to help prevent rust)....entire process took about an hour and now I have a like-new mower. Note that Honda stopped making this motor this year, so it's very much worth saving.

Lost wing knob and nut that holds the handle onto the mower
Can't do the repair. You sent me the two wing knobs I ordered, but no nuts. No one sells the nuts. I've driven all over trying to find them. Wasted my money and a lot of time. Zip ties are holding the handle on. I sent an email to customer service asking for the nuts, never heard a word from anyone. Another great example of how not to run a business.
