What's making you happy today? - Page 667

When SEARS contracts with a manufacturer it's usually based on an existing model with some changes to make it cheaper. The problem is down the road when you need parts, the parts with those changes aren't available. Sometimes the parts from the original model will work but for SEARS it's more expedient to throw money/credit at you than screw with it. That's when you win.

Carruthers, it is/was a Briggs and Stratton 5500 always very pleased with B&S small engines.
xoxoxoBruce,
I almost knew SEARs would replace it when I took it in for repair. Very annoying to have to have it shipped [ their dime]from Indiana to Ohio and wait almost 3 weeks for this news though. I am borrowing the neighbors and probably wearing out my welcome

SEARs price matched the generator for me 2 1/2 years ago Big R had them too, and the whole generator with the 3 yr warranty was only $449. The generator is now $719 owwie This generator has to be ordered and I will have to maybe wait another 3-4 weeks for it's arrival. :/

In case I wasn't clear before, you should get the warranty. I think it's worth it.

Oh, and look at this thread. Almost ten thousand posts in it, and the dwellar who started it isn't even here to see how it's all gown up.

Thanks Nirvana, I'm grateful to you. B & S engine on my lawnmower is pretty reliable as well.

Thanks again.

Nicely done.

Woke up to these on my patio this morning. I use 'morning' loosely, it was noon.

The Strawberry Fairy, I must've missed that one growing up...

I hesitate to say it made me happy, but, someone crawled on their hands and knees to pick strawberries, and then, gave me a couple quarts worth for nothing, not even credit. So, that was fairly cool.

You mean having two able bodied men WITH incentives?

I'd assume that's what she meant but you'll have to ask her
