Wrong Part - Not good
I'll ordered this part thinking this would be the right item for my craftsman lawn mower. I searched the part # and this what came up. When I the item was delivered, I knew off the bat the part was wrong. My lawn mower control level bar is slanted and not straight like this one. I spoke with the Rep and I ordered another one. I hope this one is correct. If not, I'm going to be really pissed off. This is not good at all.

I had the mower serial number and documentation, but since the mower was about 13 years old, eReplacementParts was the ONLY place I could find this old part on the internet, including the manufacturer's site. The price was low, and I figured when I clicked on the 'add to cart' button that I would get a message 'not available', but it was available. And after I ordered, the part was delivered in about 3 days! Perfect fit, exact replacement, great bargain, fast shipment, what's not to like about this site?
