Cool video. You seem stoked. My dad just got this model, upgraded from. 1994 riding mower. Looks nice

I am on my second year with my T100....so far so good....no problems....a little tip for you....if you have the little tray funnel that came with it to change the oil.....turn the wheels all the way to the left or right (don't remember which way) and the little funnel will fit under the steering rod up to the drain plug....I think you will like the tractor the more you use it.'....I stored mine in a shed all winter after removing the battery and bringing the battery into the house and ran it out of fuel....Just this past weekend I put the battery back in it.....fueled it up and it started right up.

My job just bought one. I am the lawn guy. It runs great.

I don’t hate on the MTDs like so many people do. If you go easy on it, it can last you along time and parts are easy and cheap for them if you turn your own wrenches. My father in law has a 21 year old Walmart bought Yard Machine that still looks, mows, and runs great. BUT ... your new mower isn’t the tank that the old Snapper was. If your still mowing with that Craftsman in 30 years, it will speak more to the excellent care and attention you gave it far more than the ruggedness of the MTD products.

I need to get another one of these MTD chassis mowers. I had a Yard Machines branded 38" one with the same 344cc OHV Briggs engine that used less fuel to mow my yard than a 20" push mower with the Briggs 3.5 HP flathead did. Sadly mine was stolen. We had moved and temporarily left it behind to keep the old property mowed and one day we went to go mow and it was gone. Mine was model number 13AH762F752. If you image search that model number you'll see just how little has changed. Tips: Watch for wear on the CVT belts, if you do very much driving at top speed you can smell them getting hot and they start to crack and lose chunks after a while. A couple of the older MTD chassis mowers had a 2 speed transaxle so that you had low range for mowing and high range for road gear resulting in less belt wear, I wish that these had it too. Also, these OHV Briggs engines sometimes like to blow the head gasket between the cylinder and pushrod passage, I always started mine by leaving the throttle governor set to idle and leaning forward enough to push the choke wire loop with my finger before turning the key that way there is less peak cylinder pressure and hence stress on the head gasket by not trying to go straight to full governed RPM with a cold engine. If you watch the linkage on the left side of the engine as you push the throttle beyond fast and up to choke you can see the lever push the wire loop I'm talking about. On the note of valves the lash has to be checked and adjusted annually if you don't want to fry your starter. They wear loose so the compression release stops working and the wimpy starter then can't spin it past the compression stroke.

If you have one of these, get the oil drain extension hose. Don't waste your money on the trough, get the threaded hose.

Would like a video on how to change the oil

I just bought a new one & couple things I don’t like. The reverse module where the key goes…if that electronic module fails it will lock out Reverse mode. Also I’m not happy with speed control switch vs a throttle that’s either hand or foot controlled. Adds wear imo on clutch/brake system. We’ll see? Just like newer complex cars/trucks vs old school…keeps engineers busy but bad on maintenance end.

I recently bought a Cub cadet XT1 LT46 and it been 4 days and it works great it’s big for bigger yards and it works awsome

Hey brother. I have to fit through a 40 inch fence opening to get to my back yard. Will this fit?

You might want to hang on to that snapper if you don’t wanna fix it take it to the shop have them fix one thing at a time on it by the time you’re done you’ll have a new tractor that’ll last for 20 or 30 years

It’s all fun and games until a grass clipping ends up in your 🍺

Any updates on the T100... purchased one about a week ago and so far no complaints. Just wanted to see if any other owners had some tips or things I should be observant of.

Best wishes on your new mower. Can you tell me the actual overall width of your tractor? I get different numbers.

I've never had a riding lawn mower and I just purchased this model. I'm embarrassed to say it keeps dying on me. I don't know what all the pulls/levers are for and the manual does not have the information. My neighbor tried explaining it to me, gave up, and offered to mow my yard for me. lol

how much did you buy it for

Where is the oil filter?

I dont know about that thing , things look a lot cheaper made nowadays . The plastic and thin metal on the deck dont look good .It might last along time on a small yard that looks like a golf course.

Show to how to make it make please

Sorry..the music is SO loud..can't understand what you're saying..

Wrong!!!!!!What you have there is a Stanley Black & Decker /MTD. Craftsman is gone forever.

Talking more about your old God damn lawn more than you are about the new one
