Hello and happy new year !
A couple of years ago you helped me with regards to purchasing a lawnmower. I really wanted the Honda (think it was the 216 hrb?) but just couldn't spring for the extra 150 dollars so I bought the Craftsman 37779 on sale for 499. It has done what I wanted it to do for the most part but still wish for the new HRX. The one thing I do enjoy about the Craftsman is the one lever hight adjustment as I cut three different levels around my yard and this feature really helps ! Next mower may need to be an Ariens since they have this feature. ( I will ask more about that when it comes time to but again, hopefully that is several years away)
I do have one problem with the mower blade brake clutch and thought I would check in with yall to see if this was something easy to fix or should I take it to the Sears repair facility? The clutch will not stay engaged. I tied it down with a bungie cord to make it last the rest of this past season but want to get it fixed before this spring.
Thanks !

Skippertoo, Welcome back, I do remember you.

Hey, I'm glad to hear you are liking your Craftsman, most folks seem to. As for the clutch, unless it's something obvious, I would take it into the repair facility. The clutch of the blade of a lawnmower is not something I would suggest anyone but a good home mechanic be dealing with for safety reason, we want them to operate properly and reliably. Now, you may very well be a good home mechanic, if so, we have some folks on the board that repair lawnmowers, mostly engines though, and they may be able to offer some assistance. However, I would expect they would need to be familiar with the Craftsman system itself to be real helpful, hopefully I am wrong. Thanks for coming back by, stick around if you would like and join us. Check your thread here for more answers.
