Watching you troubleshoot and identify the needed repairs is very enjoyable. Your presentation and commentary make me feel as if we are standing in your garage with you. My vote is to keep doing it the way you've been doing it. The time seems to fly by. I was surprised this video was over 40 minutes. Thanks much for your time. 😀👍

Another LT1000! There must be more of them than any other tractor ever made! I was just watching other videos on this model this morning and it seems like they must have made more than one generation of them with different shifting systems.

Yes these are definitely the cookie cutter riding mower around my parts. I don’t know why but I rarely see any MTD machines vs the AYP

What I say to every KZfaq creator who asks - take a long as you need to cover the subject completely. One of the best small engine guys out there, James Condon, is doing videos as long as 90+ minutes and his channel has been growing by leaps and bounds. For me it’s all about quality of content and strong production values. I don’t have the attention span of a gnat, so go ahead and do your thing - I appreciate your work very much and continue to learn from you! 🙏🔧👍

Re: your question about the Poor Man’s Power Steering mod - I haven’t done one yet, but would definitely do it on my own machine. I have no doubt this is a worthwhile upgrade to the front end, along with replacing wheel bushings with bearings - all details one would expect to see in a really well-designed lawn tractor. I’ve collected links to several of these and pretty much have it figured out. It is basically a very easy, simple mod but there are some variables among different machines, plus one guy has figured out a modification to the washers so the thrust bearing is lubricated when pumping grease into the zerk.

Turned out awesome Hester! Wonder if the previous owner was doing some sweet ramp jumps with it... the way those brackets were mangled. As far as the hole in the gas tank, I think some plastics and even wire insulation are made from soy beans. Could be why rodents like to chew them up. Long videos are fine with me!

He must’ve done a dukes of hazard jump with this thing 😂 yea I’ve heard of the soy bean problem, it just seems so weird that they would go at a flat surface and not the corners.

Just remove left wheel and heat it then use 16 lb back up and 4 lb hammer to tap it straight 😮😮😮 Easy fix
@hester78122 күн бұрын
With my back problems it was easier to just remove it. Plus there was a lot of old oil/grease in the area so a torch could have made my day a lot more interesting 😂

Great question. So this is a manual which are filled with grease instead of oil. But on the hydrostatic units I generally inspect them for any signs of leaks and if they are dry and they drive/sound fine I don’t touch them 👍🏻

The deck I was just working on also has that same folded area as yours. I thought initially it was a blade strike but now I wonder if this is something they did to strengthen that area of the deck?
@hester78122 күн бұрын
Definitely possible, although I would think it would look more deliberate? Then again I’m just guessing
