I have LT-1000 from early 2005, purchased new, Model 917.275371, 42" deck. Last week I pulled its battery off the 2-amp trickle charger where it had been since last usage in the fall, and installed that into my lawn tractor. I sprayed in some starting fluid in, it started right up, and I...

When cleaning my L1000 42" mower yesterday after mowing 1.5 acres of weeds and tumbleweeds (Arizona, very wet winter/spring), I noticed that my deck baffle (right hand side of the mower), broken at the front mount. So I drilled two holes in the broken part, rotated that broken part, and used...

I'm trying to attach a garden cart I have to my Craftsman LT1000 lawn tractor; there must be a way, and I cannot Google anything because I don't know what it might be called. I have a Harbor Freight garden cartwhich has a handle 1.5 inches span but the holes for the handle are horizontal. My...

I'm getting my back yard professionally done in a few weeks, will have like 1300 SF of sod, but only have the lawn tractor up here. Out of the blue this morning my next-door neighbor rode her horse to the fence and asked if I would like her non-running lawn mower, that maybe I could get it...

Yesterday, went to mow some tumbleweeds with my 2005 LT1000 lawn tractor. 1. Found a tire was flat; added slime, pumped it up. 2. After 20 minutes of mowing, and moving to the front, my deck belt/blade engagement cable failed. Since I had a new spare one, I didn't try to use a hose clamp to...

I have Sears LT1000 lawn tractor 917.275371 from 2005. Today while mowing the left deck spindle broke, no problem as I have replacements. However the left spring #131335 also broke. I had a used mower spring that seemed about the right size and strength (might be #10-15543), put that on with...

Although I've had this LT1000 for 15 years, I still am unclear about the choke/throttle lever. For starting, the instruction/owner's manual states "Move throttle control to choke position.". Well, this lever has the drawing of a turtle at the bottom position, and a rabbit at the top (and in...

Anyone here add a wash port to a Craftsman LT1000 or similar 42" lawn tractor deck? Anyone here with hands-on opinion about such wash out ports usefulness/success?

My 2005 Craftsman lawn tractor is 12 volt. I was wondering (1) if anyone ever grafted/installed an old AM-FM car stereo to their lawn tractor (2) if anyone here uses some sort of headphone-radio successfully (please detail make/model if you do). I have 1.5 acres of weeds that I mow. Thanks...

I'm new to this forum, but not to lawn tractors. I bought a new Craftsman LT1000 lawn tractor in May 2005 for $900. I do have a question. Lately the mower/blade drive belt has been slipping off (up) the idler pulley on the right side, the idler that gets pulled rearward by a cable to engage...
