    Craftsman mower blade switch fails?
    After several hours of use the switch that engages the blades fails. I have replaced this switch several times. How can I prevent this from occurring in the future?

    Hi,
    Most mowers use the commonly available Indak switches. One occurrences with them is that they fail if depressed too far. If there is an adjustment slot, make sure it is depressed just enough to activate(be it an open or closed circuit.)
    Peace,
