Just remember my advise: get a Craftsman mower that has rear wheel drive.
They'll have several models with both front wheel and rear wheel drive, and front wheel drive is a mistake. As you mow and the catcher fills up with clippings, there is more and more weight transferred to the back of the mower, and tends to lift the front wheels off the ground, causing you to have to push down on the handle so that the front wheels can get traction.
