Sears Craftsman / Troy Bilt 30" Rear Engine Riding Mower Review
A video review of the Sears Craftsman rear engine 30" riding mower. This is the RER 1000 as labeled on the side of the mower. On the sears website it is model number 29000, or Sears Item# 07129000000 | Model# 29000. The description of this mower on the website is: Craftsman 420cc 30'' 6-Speed Rider. In this video I will do a walk around of the mower as well as some safety hacks to make it more convenient to use. I do not condone disabling any of the safety features, and the responsibility for safe operation, if this is done, is in the hands of a competent operator. If you choose to disable any of the features, you do so at your own risk. This mower is almost identical to the Troy-Bilt 13B226JD066 30" 420cc Rear Engine Riding Mower. They are probably manufactured by the same company and branded different.

Hang Gliding NE of Bismarck, ND circa early 80's. Jon Henson and Jerry Grimstad flying a mid 1970's Moyes standard rogallo wing. Flight was made off the south face of Solberg Butte about 10 miles northeast of Bismarck.
With a tractor like this, can you change speeds while moving, or does that have to be done while stationary? If the former, I'd think starting in a slow speed, and shifting upwards (like on a bicycle) would prevent this jerking motion
rear end not hold up made platics
Those type mowers get on my nerves so much im willing to keep my old new noma at his her house and i go there to do his yard work for him her because i told heshe i can't ride they're little mower there's no way the seat can slide back for my legs there's shit you have to hold down with your foot or it wont cut it does not turn good one bit goes through spark plugs because the engine was built wrong muffler right next to the plug no heat shield between the muffler and plug No cover over the chain to prevent damage to it. grease fill holes hard to get to gotta take a bunch of other parts off just to fix one piece or boot its easy to work on but is a bitch those are ones not in my collection of used working mowers I did get a free 80ies model snapper and i redone the engine then gave it to a old friend he fixed the drive gears and spring then sold it for 5 hundred
I still don't like those or snappers similar to those mowers they don't trun right they'll jump forward because not enough weight in the front you know i just don't like um but I'll take they're engines and wheels
Lightweight is good and what did I use it for it’s a lawnmower ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend Yes it is lightweight so hence not as robust as our old one. But if you take care it does the job really well.
At least there’s a bull guard on the front. Looks like a 35/ 45 lb plate would fit perfectly on the front end. To help keeping it from jerking up.
I would probably use mobile one 15 W 50 in it and if there’s anything you can grease I guess you could use boat trailer grease or a really good extreme pressure high temperature grease and obviously stable 360 in your gasoline
Does this model have an alternator to charge the batter while the engine is running?
GAWL DANG!!! Mowing in reverse solved.
Any videos on changing spark plug?..looks like a nightmare..
Where can I order a belly and a shoot for it the same model
thats the brake pedal for crying out loud, it's an automatic transmission
I have had a few scary moments in my yard where I thought I might tip over. I did not think that my yard was that sloppy. Evidently it was for this mower. Any thoughts on slopes?
I never had a mower that mowed in reverse other than a push mower
Thank you! Excellent review with tips and explanations
There’s a triangular button next to the ignition key. If you read the instructions, you’ll learn that if you turn the key to the left one notch, then hold the button down, you can then mow in reverse. Super simple.
Yea Sears used to own the craftsman name . Black and decker owns MTD, craftsman, toro, Troy built ,John deer and most other mower companies. I went with the same mower but with a bagger.I unplugged the seat and reverse blade disengagement.
I've had my rear engine Sears mower for years and disabled the reverse switch, I also disabled the discharge chute switch because it kept getting displaced by grass, because it's flimsy, and the mower kept shutting off. Other than the 5 interlock switches, the only thing that I would be concerned with is the fact that it has a narrow track so the mower is not very stable on even a slight side hill.
My 29000 transmission has failed. Is there a source for them? Sears list them "obsolete" and not available...
I've had this mower for 9 years. No real problems using E10 or no ethanol gas. I've had a screw come out which holds the oil filler neck and has a ground connection. Can anyone spec this machine screw for me? The on-line parts view does not show the specs for the small bolt.
I thank you for this video. I was about to take my mower to the shop to find out why it wouldn't start and it was the discharge chute switch. Thanks again!
Does anyone happen to know how to tell a 25000 from a 29000 model, if I were to buy used..
Anyone have a modification for the rattle?? Mine rattles and it gets annoying
READ YOUR MANUAL!! TO RUN IN REVERSE -TURN KEY TO MIDDLE POSITION AND PRESS THE YELLOW BUTTON AND THAT RENDERS IT TO RUN IN REVERSE AND MOW.
Glad I watched the video!! I just bought one of these Sears Craftsman R1000 mowers from a lady on Facebook marketplace today. She was asking $400, but I offered $300 and she accepted. :) It's just 2 yrs old and look's great, nearly a new machine and I even got the bagger attachment. Thanks for all the great tips and advice. I'm going to see if I can rig up two gauge wheels on the front of the deck. Other than that, it seems to be a great little machine for smaller yards.
Thank you, I just bought one from a friend.
You can get off as long as the blade is not engaged your in neutral and the brake is set
Junk don’t buy
Thanks sir, I needed dis bought a 1500 and I love it... You showed me just wat I needed to know about it... Especially da mow in reverse, thanks again
How wonderful to get info as to how to get to mow in reverse. That built in feature is one ever pain-in-the-a$$...not now!!!!!
Those mini mowers are hot
By any chance do you have a video on how the belt goes on that riding mower
Canada, London, Ontario Where can I buy one of these mowers? Good video, thanks!
Must have felt silly finding out u just have to push a button to mow in reverse lol
Anyone know how to raise the cutting deck. Tire pressures are at max. At the highest setting it’s scalping my lawn
i have the same
Great info
Hi , I have one like this but last night I had to disconnect the battery because the starter would not shut off even when the key removed. Any ideas? Could the ignition switch be faulty?
Quick question... I just picked one of these little guys up that someone up the road from me was giving away free Battery is dead dead However, hooked some jumper cables to it from my truck and motor turns over just fine But will not crank Is that deck chute safety switch suppose to be pressed in all the way to allow the mower to start is is it suppose to be depressed all the way out ? Jw
I always wanted one of these smaller riders. It looks like a decent little mower!
Where is the drain plug?
The reverse feature is a must thanks for the info
Thank you!! We have this one and it was a helpful review before buying, and now going back several months later to remember how to disengage the mowing in reverse switch! Great review!
Gawd why all the plastic. That’s the one thing I love about the snappers, no frills get at the mower get at the parts easy
Which year is this mower?
Does anyone know how to remove the body?
Thank you Thank you Thank you. My mower was down for 2 days and I tried testing every electrical component on this thing. When you said you bump something and it shut off and all it was is a safety switch, I ran outside and tried it and BAM that was it. Saved my summer.
How is the mower over time? This video is 7 years old. Is the mower still working?
How do you get the red flat "guard" up? I need to charge the battery and can't get to it without raising that and it does not move. Is there a button to release it?
