Craftsman T2400 Kohler engine (24 hrs on the guage) purchased from Lowes May 2022. It has been doing great. Wife can never remember to choke before cranking OR to take it off choke once it is cranked. Yesterday she jumped on the tractor, cranked it up and took off with the choke engaged. I...

I have a Craftsman DGS 6500 riding mower. I was mowing along just fine when it suddenly stopped. It clicks when I turn the key but won't start. It won't even turn the engine. I did a quick test bypassing the starter solenoid by touching the 2 posts on the starter solenoid and it turned the...

Greetings, Curious, anyone ever see a Briggs Stratton 26HP Intek just stop with nothing and no noise, no locked engine, just no piston movement, but valves work fine on both heads. One piston at top and the other at bottom. How is it possible for both roda to let go at same time with no lock...

Hello- I recently bought a Craftsman DGS 6500 fairly cheap. It has a 26 hp Kohler motor. It's in good condition but hard to start and runs rough. The previous owner says it needs a carburetor. I've already changed the spark plugs. Not much improvement. I've been searching the internet and found...

Worked fine last year at this time. Replaced the spark plug, drained all fuel and put in fresh non-ethanol fuel and it just won't start. It doesn't even try to start. I may as well just disconnect the spark plug because I'd get the same response to pulling on the rope. And ideas on what to...

I have a Craftsman Pro Series 8200 that the electronic PTO was cutting off when mowing the yard. I did a lot of research and replaced the PTO switch, Electronic PTO clutch, initially and still had the same issue. The mower at times seemed to not want to start ( already have new battery) and so...

Hi, Does anyone know how to remove a stuck air cleaner cover when the retainers just spin? I tried lifting with vise grips while turning counterclockwise, but nothing engages. It will help me a lot if anyone has pictures of what I'm dealing with under the cover. Thanks in advance, Dennis

Is there a way to find/get the model number for my Craftsman (MTD made) 159cc self propelled push mower? The model sticker came out a few years ago. There is a metal MTD tag on the side of the BS motor but it only tells what oil to use. I drug it out yesterday to mow the yard and the wheels...

So here It goes, I bought a Craftsman DGT6000 (1998) with the 27 HP Kohler Command Pro V-Twin a month ago knowing It had some Issues. It started and drove when I went to look at It and the engine sounded good so I bought It. Got It home and started messing with It and found It burned oil bad...

This edger is a 4 cycle machine. I cannot get it to start unless I use starting fluid. It will fire up immediately. I disassembled the carburetor and found nothing wrong. Finally gave up after many tries and bought another carburetor. Same problem. Won't start unless using starting fluid...

I just got this mower with the 46" deck. The front wheels are splayed out quite a bit and I'm wondering what position they should be in before I buy a couple steering rods. This unit appears to be almost a zero turn, since I can almost get the inside wheel to be almost 90 deg! Does that sound...

I have a Craftsman YS4500 (917-276691) (Husqvarna YTH22V42) and when I went out to use it this week for the first time this season it did nothing when I turned the key. No solenoid clicking. No starter turning. Nothing. Last year I had notices that the rubber cover seemed to be a little in...

Have a Craftsman 22" model 917.376570 Need one rear wheel for it. Are there other brands other than Craftsman that uses the same wheel? P/N for wheel 194387X427 Thanks

All the model numbers are in the pdf. I keep this mower on a Battery Minder when I'm not using it. The first time I ran it this year, it cranked ok and I mowed for about an hour and stopped it to blow the clippings off the deck. Then it wouldn't crank; not even a click from the solenoid. I...

What mower decks are compatible with my 917.270514 ?

This self-propelled mower is only three or four years old. The opinion gear that fits in the pulling wheels is worn out and I can’t find one.. it’s part number in the manual is 175,103. The inner bore of the pin and gear has splines, and, of course the shaft that slides on is splined. If anyone...

You guys know this common one? One pacman screw on the inside one on the outside. I can get it started but doesn't stay running unless I throttle it which only lasts for so long I've put a lot of car cleaner through this though maybe it's that diaphragm in there too brittle as I recall causing...

I am looking for a mower deck for a craftsman LT1500 (mod# 247.288820) or a Troy bilt pony (as most part numbers are the same. I scraped a tree and tore one of the mounts through. I don't think it can be welded and frankly I'm tired of nursing this deck season to season. any ideas?

Hello, Hopefully someone can help me troubleshoot an electrical issue that I am having with my 2006 Craftsman DLT 3000 riding mower. The unit started up good last Fall, but something weird has happened to the electrical system since then. When I sit in the seat and turn the ignition key -...

Does anyone know where I can get a good used #532161592 pulley. It is no longer manufactured and I have looked everywhere on the web. Also, is there an off the shelf replacement that could work as a substitute? It would seem that out of all of the pulleys in the world that there would be...

i have accumulated a certain amount of wiring knowhow over the years on tractors and lawnmowers... one question, my 15.5hp Briggs has TWO harnesses coming out by starter. one w/red/blk ... the other (not sure of wire color) i get that one black wire is more than likely the kill wire, and the...

How do I raise deck height in front 2". Ofcourse the trun knob doesn't work well but it fails to move front height. What do I do to raise front height permanently?

Craftsman Riding mower runs for 2-3 seconds and then dies

I,ve had this mower 3 yrs. without a problem. Mowed most my lawn yesterday & went out to finish it this morning. It started right up. As soon as I let up on the brake/clutch it died. If I push the pedal in it starts right up every time. As soon as i start letting up on the pedal it dies. I'm at...

Have an old craftsman snowblower, just wondering what this hose on line is that combining off engine. It's it some type of crankcase over pressure vent or scavenging port??? Reference attached photos. Thanks

Hi, I've done a bit of googling too much almost and also searched this forum and threads either it's not on here which I doubt or I can't get the right key words to pull it up. Can some one tell me how to make this adjustment or tell me what the type or carburetor name is so I can attempt to...

Engine model 44R67. I was using it today for a couple hours, then took a break for a snack and when I went back out it would not even turn over. it didn’t appear that power from the battery was getting to anything; it didn’t click it didn’t even show the hours in the little window - just nothing...

Was mowing lot next door and suddenly the motor just starts racing. I shut it down and it took a while to shut off. I started back up but the motor is still racing at top speed pretty much no matter what position throttle cable is in. Throttle cable seems to be operating properly. It's...

Hey guys, I picked up a Craftsman Pro series T7400 and the previous owner had re-welded the deck mounting brackets. The paint he used in no way matched the color of the deck but whatever. I bought some rust-oleum golden sunset (gloss) from ace hardware but it’s way too light yellow compared to...

Forgive me if this has been addressed before. All the posts are starting to look alike to me. My +/- 2016 mower turned over twice last Saturday and then failed to turn over at all. Now, no clicks from the solenoid. Headlights don't go on with the key in 'on' position with a battery delivering...

Good afternoon, I have been gifted a Craftsman lawn tractor from my in-laws and need to get it home to service, etc. Looks like a 2014 year model that hasn't ran in 4-5 years. This model has the hydrostatic transmission. Craftsman T3000 / Model 917.203900 / Serial # 021714A00317. The tractor...

Hi All, I have a question regarding lawn tractors such as a Craftsman LT100, 917-273373, 6 speed gear trans. Any any like it.

Unable to source replacement brake disc, part # 407134 (Husqvarna part # 583301401). All I can find are listings showing as “Discontinued”. This is a long shot I know but does anyone know of a suitable replacement that matches the OEM part?

So I have this Craftsman Dust Blocker Bag . On the inside it seems to be padded ? Or is it years of tiny grass clippings that got stuck ?? Real hard to take a picture of this ! Just how do you take the bag off the frame ? Maybe I can empty the tiny clippings !? THANKS !

Craftsman Model 917 270820 tractor with B&S 42E707 2631 E1 Engine Surging when idling - I can see the governor moving back and forth, but it will not idle smoothly - I can see the governor springs in there and it seems to not have any missing parts (like it threw a spring off), and all the...

I am thinking it’s compression release but i tried the little trick of covering the intake so it starts up but it didn’t work. What else could it be. the starter is new and battery is too. adjusted valves too.

DOM is 2020 and it has been fine until this season. Engine power seems ok. I just stop moving in those gears after 30-40 minutes. These are the gears I use the most while cutting. I can put it in any other gear and keep going (1,2,5,6). My front yard has a ditch and a slight incline...

First post here, I joined because I can't figure out how to install a spring that holds the side door shut - the door that covers the ejection port, if that's what you call it. Couple of days ago I bought a new side door (it's on my avatar, solid black) and I had a hard time getting the old one...

Hello, would anyone have or know where I could find a transmission control cable part #195989 for a Craftsman 917.377061 RWD mower? I’ve exhausted all the usual sites Amazon, EBay, Jack’s, Sears etc. and it is no longer available. I understand it may have been replaced by Husqvarna part#...

Weed trimmer bought 5-6 years ago with an electric start. I‘ve been using and electric drill with the right drill bit, but somehow apparently stripped the inside connection…any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi, I have a circa 2008/9 ZTS 6000. It “naturally” decided to stop any movement - at the back of the 5-acre property, away from my shop, with incoming rain storms. I removed the deck, the belt is intact, but off the tensioner. I tried to put it back on, but the belt tensioner assembly is...

I replaced the carburetor . It started right up and began smoking blue smoke. What can I do?

Hello - Could really use some help as while I like to do a lot of things on my own, wiring & wiring diagrams are NOT my strong suit! I replaced my ignition switch this weekend as I was having some trouble with the tractor turning over unless I was pushing down on the key when attempting to...

I've got an older apx. 2000' 20hp I believe, LT2000 Craftsman rider. I'm told the transmission is shot. Can the transmission be replaced with another craftsman transmission, say from a LT1000, Are parts like that interchangeable? Thanks guys

I have a craftsman lawnmower pgt9000 for many years now, which started blowing fuses after running for few minutes. Have replaced a bunch of fuses in past few weeks. Any idea on what could be wrong? I replaced the belt which was about to worn out before this started happening. When checking...

I am rebuilding this 74092 and was wondering in relationship to the run/stop function, does it stop when the circuit is maintained or broken? The switch is good, wiring has good continuity and spark remains regardless of switch position. This is odd, so reaching out to maintain sanity….
