best lawn mower consumer reports image

This is a 2001 Murray Riding Mower w/ a Briggs & Stratton engine. Since it is between the first and last recalls for the exact same problem, Murray and B&S says it's my problem. I can't afford to buy another mower. I have submitted this to Consumer Reports but they say there is nothing they can do. SO....can anyone help me seal this gasoline leak so I don't go up in flames?
Answer
Seal the leak with SealAll (hardware store) while you wait for your new tank to show up.
Nice thing is you can use just about any generic fuel tank and it would not ruin the resale value of a Murray.

Looks like the tank will run you around $40.
P.s. Consumer Reports will not doing anything but the Better Business Bureau would be your better bet.

I am doing a report for my job and have googled myself to death. I am looking for the average price of a Craftsman Riding Mower -1975- current, Craftsman Walk-Behind Mower 1975-current, and a Craftsman Weed Eater 1975- current, does anyone have any suggestions as to where I could find this information? I have exhausted all options and would greatly appreciate it!

I used the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to calculate the cost of these products in 1975 dollars. To test the CPI click below:

By useing the CPI calculator, I have determined the cost of the mower in 1975 would be estimated at $340.34
A Craftsman Walk-Behind Mower currently retails for, $249.99.
