Hey all

I have a craftsman T1200 lawn tractor that came with the place we bought 3 years ago, So i dont know the history of it and there are no manuals of it.

seems like everything is falling apart at the same time and i'm beyond frustrated with it...
It seems I cant get the model number right and keep buying the wrong parts

Craftsman T1200 (According to hood)
Model Nr under seat: 944.604180


In summary what has broken down on me in a short period of time:

Deck lift rod snapped
Deck engage cable snapped (New purchased that was supposed to fit but it does not make it tight enough)
Blades needed replacing, bought a "42in craftsman Oem set" locally that turns out to not fit at all
One of the lift arms bolts snapped off the frame, can be replaced with proper size nut and bolt though

Lot happened at once and frustration has taken the best off me, i need help!!

Pto engagement cable part number 584243501 make sure it is connected to the correct hole on the engagement arm on the deck.

Blade part number 424752 Blade, 42" 3NI- - 422719 Blade, 42"SP 3NI
- - 134149 Blade, Mulching
- - 139775 Blade, 42" Mulching Premium
- - 138971 Blade, 42" Hi-Lift
(For bagging or discharge)

And by lift rod I am assuming rear deck left assembly part number 197984 lift link assembly rear

I used this website https://www.partsbay.ca/sears-parts.html

And then scroll down the page until you find 944.6xxxxx and then use the slider to find the parts manual pdf for 604180
