It's nice to see someone do something besides just engine work, blade sharpening and deck leveling on lawn tractors. Thanks for posting!

Hester- I have to tell you I really enjoyed this awesome video! You did an outstanding job of filming and narrating thru every process. Fantastic job on the tune up and brake overhaul! Awesome stuff!!!!!!!!

Great video. Thanks. Getting ready to do a complete service on my lawn tractor this spring. Now I know what is ahead of me.

Awesome video, I’ve learned a lot from it and it’s going to be very helpful for me to work on my 2002 Craftsman LXT1000 that I just got and needs a bit of work, since is my first riding mower I can use every bit of information. Thank you.

I appreciate your through inspection . Good quality work.

I have noticed when someone has a question you seem to address it which is admirable.

I did watched it all, and will wait for part 2. Thanks man

Just got a 2005 that's like new. Love the simplicity and it works great. I was amazed to find every part is still available. No wonder so many are still around. Learned a lot from your video. Also watched the front axle replacement. Thanks for sharing.

I learned something here. I need to check my parking brake on mine. It's not holding very well. I do thank you for posting this video. Sorry, the last 30 seconds of the video was the best. Hahahaha.

Thank you for this Video! Was giving an LT1000 a few months ago and this video helps A Lot!

Very enjoyable - and informative - video. And the bonus was your pup, playing with the ball, Fabulous.

thank you for your help,i really appreciate your work in this video. great job !

great video! Easy to understand. I might even attempt some maintenance myself!

Thanks! I have this exact same mower and it is difficult to find videos for this one since it is so old. This video is tremendously helpful! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Excellent vid, Thanks!

Great video, I perform a similar annual service to my lawn tractors. I find adding a shot glass of marvel mystery oil or seafoam in the gas tank and topping of with fresh gas seems to do wonders for the fuel system. Also doesn’t hurt adding a couple of ounces in the crank case.

Good job keep up the good work

Awesome in-depth review! I have a 15.5 hp Kohler and I’m glad it’s practically the exact same thing as this one. This should help out with some issues I’m dealing with right now (engine is running away when starting)…

Nice camera work!

Good information and good tips for cleaning and maintaining this specific model

Good video

I have the same mower. Been having trouble with it.. just watched this whole video. Think i know the problem within first 4 mins but had to watch the whole thing cause of your explanation on everything was excellent and funny. Goodjob. Gained a sub

awesome video. learned alot thanks

I'm buying a mower like that in an hour or so. Needs carb cleaning and no telling what else. Thanks for the video

Great job of explaining everything thing

Thank you so very much for this video. I am following along with you and learning so much. Haven't finished yet cause I am taking my time and making sure I don't forget something.

Lovely video pal 👌 Thanks

Great video, I just subbed!

Tin foil for under the valve to drain oil.

That's the exact same mower I'm working on. Ours is the 15.5 Kohler. I think I have a valve issue..possibly intake push rod..we'll see. We both know it's definitely NOT the fuel pump! lol

Thanks for a great video! Wondering if you address lubrication of the blade shaft, etc? Also any other critical maint. areas on these Craftsman mowers?

first thing I do when I get a new mower is take back tires off and antisizse the axles , been there with pullers and heat before never again , to change a tire ,

Zip ties will work fine too replace hose clamps 😊😊😊

It’s best to remove all covers every year and clean it out Will save your engine and heat will not destroy it

Hoping you can help me here. Bought a craftsman mower off friend. Ran fine but rough. Brought home, removed the mower deck to install the snow plow attachment. When I removed the deck I thought it easier to remove the blade engagement cable from under the hood where it connects to the engagement arm. The thinking was that it seemed easier that removing the cable and spring where it attaches to the mower deck. Long story short, did full tune-up (oil, spark plug, air filter, replaced fuse - though the old one had no break, etc.) Problem: sit on seat, engage parking brake, turn key.... no click, no sound at all. Brand new battery tested with multi-meter. Haven't tried installing the mower deck back in and installing the engagement cable but going from working to nothing is disturbing. Is the clutch/blade engagement cable have some safety sensor or something that tells the engine not to start if that is not installed. Basically the blade engagement arm is free-floating. I want to reinstall the mower deck and cable to test but just haven't had time to do it yet. Thought your experience might be able to provide me some insight. Thank you!😊

You've done a good job videoing the process. Your work ethics are great. I just subscribed. I have a lt100 also. One bolt thread for the brake caliper is stripped. Im thinking of using a helicoil. Whats your thoughts?

I certainly could have welded the front spindle better than Craftsman makes the spindle. Just saying stronger is better. But ya'll would only be doing the left front. So when ya'll fix one side strong tother side be breaking. But will steer like a new one for this frugal customer. Looks like ya'll fixed her up better than new unless ya'll ran her too long pulling her in, then the head gasket will let go in a couple days.

I was thinking about the oil release system on the riding mower. What do you think about installing a little pipe on the end of the oil stem with a shut off value of some type? taking into consideration you would need to pipe thread a small extension of pipe with a 90 degree elbow which would eliminate oil running were it shouldn't

I AllWAYS run a tap in the holes and blow them out, antizee is AllWAYS used on pins and bolts/nuts

I was thinking about using clear fuel line. That good brand, used it on my chain saw. Now I'm going to get some for sure. What ID and OD for a mower, what brand?

Great video, have the same mower, what is usually the main reason for backfires?

Thanks for the great video! Where do I look for parts for this tractor?

The spring came off that engages the mower . Tell me I do not have to pull the deck . I didn't see where it was attached only that it was loose while looking why I wasn't getting a return to stop the blades . Thank you for any help . Seriously pissed and done with mowers this year.

Do a video on your lift.I'an looking into purchasing one. Just give me the make model, and your opinion on this lift.

yes i do i am learning

Nice overall, I have an LT1000 that drives on level ground but down an incline it loses drive then 5 sec pause it picks up again with a jerk. Now its doing it on level ground too, ever run into that?

I have a craftsman ltx 1000 kohler 18hp. Had spark when it came here. Died after 30 minutes. New coil, no spark. I'm stumped any help would be greatly appreciated . Love what you do. Very informative. I'm in northern ontario. Please help.

For the love of God, HOW DO YOU REPLACE AN AXLE SEAL on these mowers?!?!? I have an LT1000 that suddenly dumped transaxle oil from the right rear tire. I've seen countless videos online of replacing axle seals that are PLASTIC and also on the OUTSIDE. These LT1000 seals are on the INSIDE correct? Is there a way to replace them without removing and opening the entire transaxle, or buying another one??? I feel there must be a way to rig it to stop fluid from leaving. Any ideas? Thanks... Chris

Very good video! I have a LT 1000 with the gas tank under the seat. It has a split like most get. I am looking to replace it. Is the tank you show here one of the after market ones that are put in over where the battery goes? Thanks

Do you have video on the other type of carb that was put into the early 2000 models?

What is the screw behind the throttle cable, and what is it for ? Ty !

Hi...Question. I see my headlamps aren't working. I replaced the 1156 bulbs. Cleaned the sockets with electrical cleaner,and put a lil bit of silicone on the contact of the bulb. Buttoned it back up,turned the key to lights...and no lights. I can hear the magnetic plunger going up and down in the carb solenoid,when the key is turned on and off...so the key switch is working. I also cleaned the plug to plug contacts to the lights wiring harness. Still no lights. What gives??? Thanks for any input to this...

I have this same mower but in the 20HP, is there grease fittings anywhere on the deck for the spindles? Can’t seem to find any

I have this same tractor notice this 1 has a oil filter mine don’t have 1 it’s a good 1so do I have change oil more often

They don’t like heat sink and it’s best to use on engine by coils

Buying one for 150$ it runs good im being told . Worth it?

I like your spark plug gap gauge . Where can I buy one? Thanks

How the hell can you get water into mower fuel? Ive never had that problem in 70yrs l ways fill my garden machinery using funnel with filter, tractor bas inline filter gravity fed,ive also fitted fuel tap to tank,so l can run carb dry end of season!

This is a great video I'm having problems with my lt1000 it will run for a short time and than dies out,,or going up hill and dies out, what could be the problem.

What coil does that motor use i have an identical mower but mine has a ignition Module 12-584-06 and i want to eliminate the ignition module can you please let me know the coil part number.

I've got questions about hanging a 42 inch deck on a craftsman that was carrying a 50 inch deck. I can't get the right side to hang. Its too far back..but have adjusted the front hanging rods as tight as possible . Help

My LT1000 will not start I put in a new battery, air cleaner, spark plug. It turns over but will not catch. I even sprayed ether in the carburetor and it won’t start. Have any suggestions? Thank you for sharing a great video.

How do you check the gearbox fluid?

i have the same carb could you please give me the link for the rebuild kit cant find it please .thx

what was the name of the blue fuel line you used? thanks

Does anyone know what is the name of the part is? it's the base where the air filter is. I have a crack in that air pipe going to carburetor. Not sure that the part name is

You go tell us where you got that at

you have koholer moter. i have briggs in my sears cramftmas mower

can definitely confirm the red disk fuel filter for gravity fed fuel systems. ALWAYS USE THE RED DISK 40 micron for gravity fed fuel systems!. If you use the larger 150 micron filter (commonly found in the big box stores and auto stores and napa), in a gravity fed fuel system, your engine will be running lean and idle will be way too high....this one simple mistake can cause alot of problems with overheating, valve damage, spark plug damage, head cylinder and piston damage. You want to use the red disk 40 micron simple gravity fed fuel filter for gravity fed fuel system engines. the 40 micron screen inside is large enough to allow full gravity flow but also just enough filter area to prevent debris from fouling the carb. Over time, it is a good idea to remove the red disk fuel filter and reverse blast with carb cleaner or brake cleaner and then a blast of compressed air..but not too much pressure. This is a good way to clean the internal filter and blast it back out the other side. (remove of course from all fuel lines)

Don't waste that stuff you have something for your salad.

👎👎😒😒 Dude. Seriously. Use a tripod.

You should not be running a customer down so much. He is paying you to do a job. Your job is to repair the mower. That’s all I want to see, and hear.
