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...
