IMHO? Look at the Dee Z2 by Dixie Chopper? I just bought the 54" deck unit after 3 months of looking? I did my research they also make a 42" unit and are a great Zero Turn Mower. The Deck is killer and I love how easy it was to Learn! YMMV, Beale.

Thanks for your input, I appreciate it. I ended up buying a Hustler 42" Raptor ZTR only because I've been wanting one and they gave me $400 for my 8 year old Craftsman as a trade-in.

I'm no mechanic but sounds like the starter isn't engaging, Does it have a solenoid? If so you should be able to bypass it, Can you turn the key to the on position and jump start it at the starter? Are you sure the motor isn't locked up, check the oil, Hope some of these suggestions help.

We have an acre lawn with a fence in the middle around a pool so there are more turns than just the perimeter also have to do all those turns up against fence. Hoping to get a wider cutting path ( current is 42) but will still mulch mow so know you still can't really mow much faster. All of our beds/ tree mulched areas are big enough currently that tractor can just zip around in one turn so that really isn't a concern. Do you have one? Curious how people like them.

Sounds like you have belt slippage under a load. Check to make sure you have the correct belt. Always buy OEM (Original Equipment) belts. They may cost you more but they save you from having headaches later on. Check your belt for tension. If it seems loose, you may have the wrong size belt or the idler pulley spring is either stretched a little bit or it is not hooked in the right place. Check your pulleys to see if they are bent. Are the pulleys wobbly, maybe a bearing went bad or the bolt that holds them on has come loose. Is there any oil or grease on the belt or pulleys. And please give serial number and model number.
