Why is my Craftsman Lawn Mower losing power?
- J
  Jane McgeeAug 2, 2025
  Loss of power in your Craftsman Lawn Mower can occur due to several reasons. It could be that the rear of the mower housing or the cutting blade is dragging in heavy grass, in which case you should raise the cutting height. If you are cutting too much grass, raising the cutting height might also help. A dirty air filter can cause power loss, so clean or replace it. Buildup of grass, leaves, and trash under the mower can also be a culprit; clean the underside of the mower housing. Make sure that there is not too much oil in the engine by checking the oil level. Finally, if you are walking too fast, reduce your walking speed.

Why is my Craftsman 944.363420 vibrating so much and giving an uneven cut?

  Uneven cuts and excessive vibration in your Craftsman Lawn Mower can be attributed to several factors. A worn, bent, or loose blade can cause these issues, so replace the blade and tighten the blade bolt. Ensure that the wheel heights are even by setting all wheels at the same height. Also, check for any buildup of grass, leaves, and trash under the mower, and clean the underside of the mower housing if necessary. In case of a bent engine crankshaft, contact a Sears or other qualified service center.

What to do if the starter rope is hard to pull on my Craftsman 944.363420?

  A hard-to-pull starter rope on your Craftsman Lawn Mower can be caused by a few things. Ensure the engine flywheel brake is not engaged by depressing the control bar to the upper handle before pulling the starter rope. If the engine crankshaft is bent, contact a Sears or other qualified service center. A broken blade adapter can also cause this issue, so replace the blade adapter. Additionally, make sure the blade isn't dragging in the grass by moving the lawn mower to cut grass or to a hard surface.

  If your Craftsman Lawn Mower is experiencing a loss of drive or slowing of drive speed, it could be due to belt wear, so check or replace the drive belt. The belt might also be off the pulley, in which case you should check and reinstall the drive belt. A worn or broken drive cable can cause this issue, so replace the drive cable. Finally, a loose drive control system can be the problem, so adjust the drive control.

Why is my Craftsman Lawn Mower so hard to push?
- H
  Hannah BaxterAug 21, 2025
  If your Craftsman Lawn Mower is hard to push, it could be due to several factors. The grass may be too high, or the wheel height may be too low; try raising the cutting height. If the rear of the lawn mower housing or cutting blade is dragging in the grass, raise the rear of the lawn mower housing one setting higher. A full grass catcher can also make the mower hard to push, so empty it. Lastly, make sure the handle height position is right for you and adjust it as needed.

  If the grass catcher on your Craftsman Lawn Mower isn't filling, it could be because the cutting height is too low, so raise it. A worn-off lift on the blade can also cause this, so replace the blade. Additionally, the catcher might not be venting air properly; clean the grass catcher.
