I got a Craftsman YT3000 this spring. I love the thing. Cuts great, runs great, turns tight, and cuts in reverse simply by turning the key back one click. One MAJOR fault is that a pin broke off that holds the steering shaft in pace, so if I press down on it too much it actually forces the pinion out of position under the tractor. I obviously need to get that fixed, but its an easy fix. I have warranty though, so I plan on calling someone to my house for the 30 cent part.
