Hello all, like the title states is there any kind of maintenance that needs to be performed on a hydrostatic drive? Specifically a Craftsman DLT 3000? Thanks Dave

Hello everyone, when I bought my first lawn mower back in 2001, I was not as educated in the pros and cons of such a big purchase. I have a Craftsman DLT 3000, she has a 25HP V2 motor. The power is there so I'm curious if I could install a rear PTO. Has anyone every tried such a feat? Is it...

Hello everyone, I have a Craftsman DLT 3000 "917.273460" and I would like to install an oil and temp gauge. I figured out how to install an oil pressure gauge, but I'm not sure how to install the temp sensor. For the oil pressure sensor there is a plug behind the oil filter that you can screw...

Hello all, I have a 42" 917.273460 and I was curious if I could put a bigger mower deck on my tractor? She has a 25HP B&S so the horse power is there, I just don;t know if it is physical possible. Any ideas? Thanks Dave

I have been reading a lot about this oil, can it be used in gasoline engines? Thanks Dave

I just used my generator at it worked great thanks to benski. I was interested if I could put a better muffler on the generator? This generator is so loud it's almost not worth running. :confused2: Any ideas, or at least where I might be able to pick up a replacement muffler for the one...

Hello all, I have a Tecumseh 10HP on a generator. It has a brand new carburetor and ran good, but I started playing with the carb and now it will not start. Any basic instruction on how to adjust a carb would be great. Thanks all Dave

Hello everyone, with my endeavor to build the hitch that holds the bagger assembly to the back of my lawn mower, I started the Snow Cab attachment that I plan to connect to the bagger assembly. I made it out of 1" PVC tubing, (a) because it was cheaper then 3/4" and (b) I am hoping that it...

I have noticed on a lot of these tractors, all the hoods have vents or cut outs for air to get in. Mine does not, would it be wise to put a vent in the top of my hood or in the side of my hood? It can't hurt can it?

I posted this in the Build it your self but it was suggested that I post it here also. :smile: Hello hello, I am going to attempt to build a bagger bracket and was curious on if anyone has this and any dimensions you might be able to provide? :thumbsup: Thanks all Dave
