Can you tell me what the specs or what the part number is for the shock? I'm trying to engineer it such that it pulls instead.

Thanks for your video. I had to replace the element as well, so I was able to get a bit of room to work. The biggest win was keeping the "war dept" happy as she now has hot water........😉

Where did you get the plow? I have that exact mower.

Mine has a blue flag connector and a white connector (not flag shaped) It doesn't matter which prong goes to which wire? Thanks! It popped off before I could note what goes where.

Well got the carb fixed up. starter was sticking . Took off starter .cleaned and put back together . Now i have no power to starter . Took it apart again to make sure brushes we're right. Still nothing. i tryed going to starter directly from battery with jumper cables. Can't get it to do anything... I'm a failure lol.

This is now 3years old and looking at this machine ,just like the car of the rod era the machines were more robust and better built! Possibly because they were made in America! Simpler to work on and modify! Less intrusive complications!

Thanks ! Great Video ! I just picked one up thats been sitting in garage for 3 years. hoping to get it going. Starter is doing the same thing as yours. Also gas is pouring out of carb ? Havn't got much further than that yet. I'm no mechanic but going to try.....

Was wondering is the regular quacker oil good for a 5.7 because i did a oil change last year and then got a ticking noise and misfiring on cylinder 8 its been down for forever trying to get the money up to fix still but im thinking the oil i used wasn't full synthetic.

good job blowing off all the crap on the engine before working on it

I have the same tractor, upgrading the engine to a 25 ho Kohler! And custom headers, no muffler!🙈🙉🙊

Straighten two paper clips, bend each like a horseshoe. Slide them behind your brushes while holding them fully into the holder. Assemble then remove the clips.

Doesn’t matter how much you change Fram oil filters the problem is they have a tendency to clog up and when that happens and you don’t know it you can fry your motor do your research

For 1. Quit using Fram oil filters. They are the worst oil filters you can ever use. 2. Buy yourself an oil filter relocation kit it’s worth every penny..

Do you still have the silver craftsmans mower with the snow blade

Those were made during the peak craftsman era. There will never be a better mower in my opinion...

the real test is see if it can take a load? then what's wrong with it? I cleaned everything from the gas tank to the carb and it starts hard and wont carry a load

one of the worst engines out there. the bucket engine lol. plastic camshaft gears, bolts come loose under flywheel and crack the block. I have a pile of some good looking cub cadets, troybilt and toros out back with blown up kohler courage engines

Came here for info, clicked because I thought the name was 5 Beers 😂. Great info/job on the oil change, thanks for the info and lols.

It looks really easy from here. I just bought same one. It last one day n sitting in shed. I gotta work one after this.

Saw a guy cut a milk carton to funnel oil from filter out bottom. Worked great.

It's got a fuel pump so it shouldn't run out

.floor jack help with chains. So you can spin Wheel to adjust,, Great Video.

Use a gallon zip lock bag to takeout the oil filter , first loosen the oil filter, then cover it with the ziplock bag and remove all the way ,you may have a bit of oil drip but it helps

Toyota has a drain plug housing for the oil change Works well , just connected one of those small clear hoses to the plug all the way down to the used oil conditioner, there’s gotta be a third-party design housing with a filter for easy drainage!

These predators are awesome in a modded project, I imagine they hold up well in stock form. Gonna be swapping out a tired tecumseh for one of these on my MTD this summer. Thanks for sharing!

It hasn't been dodge for like 10 years.

They design it this way so you have to take it to the dealer.

@5 Bees Garage - How far away is that repower video? :) I'm wanting to do that to a slightly smaller craftsman that's original engine had a cam shaft. I had the pulleys I needed in my amazon cart but haven't pulled the trigger yet because I can't get the drive gear off the shaft to flip the transmission around. Ideas?

I watched this for an hour and 9 minutes and we don't get to see it crank up? what the...

I'm getting too old to shovel so I went old school and bought a 24" Ariens 10M4 from 1966 and that thing is a monster, lol. Once it's in gear and I let out on the clutch I don't even have to follow along until it needs to be turned around, it'll just eat the snow and pull itself along. Originally, where yours separates, it was meant to do that for different attachments. The back half was the "tractor" and the front half could be a snowblower attachment, a cultivator, a mower, etc. Mine still has its old Tecumseh engine and it still fires up but at 58 years old it's starting to get tired (But heck, I'm 55 and I'm getting tired too, lol). Been thinking about putting on a Predator 212.

Thanks, by watching the video it showed me how far out the wires came. Before I watched it and was fighting with it I thought surely the wires can't be this short so i came in and found your video. Thanks

I hope you didn't pay much for that. Looks like it's been rode hard and put away wet.

Best video for this installation thanks for video

If you use a piece of cardboard as a gutter, you won’t get it all over the steering rack and frame

Great real life video…cussing and all! 👍🏻

hey! do you know what the part number is for the plow stabilizer bracket? im having a hard time trying to find it, or im dumb and cant figure it out.

If you are going to make self help vids, then you should list data - such as drain plug size, torque spec, filter model number, oil type, etc. Too many people making vids that can't think of common sense items.

Well done 👍

Howdy Sir- very understandable video. I’ve got to do this very thing. Thank you so much. God bless

That plow sucks unless you remove the PTO for clearence to let the plow go lower or youre plowing a completely flat driveway.

such a Boss video man. great work. thanks - from Kangaroo land

do you still use your craftsman gt for mowing?

what if you turn off the fuel cap vent, will it run the fuel bulb dry?

cost ? i'd much rather change a gpm 10 minutes done glow plugs suck lol

If you guys think that oil filter is in a bad spot, you've never changed oil on a 3rd gen 4runner!

I got one like this every thing works except headlight’s hopefully it’s the switch on the dash

I don't like Engineers either

I have a LT1000 and a LT4000 not quite garden tractors but they’re awesome I just bought a plow for my LT1000 the 18 hp intek is amazing in winter and always starts and runs pretty good for a free machine I have a deck and a bagger for it and use it to cut the grass but mainly to bag leaves and such as I just bought a Simplicity regent 14H to cut the grass and it leave’s amazing stripes for a rider

I bought a 1990’s Craftsman 2 with the 18.5 hp kholer magnum engine. All it needed was gas. Charged the battery and put some air in the tires. Used it to pull my other broken mower to the curb. It just pulled it like it was nothing. I was shocked at the torque it has. Got a lot more to do. Change the oil, clean it up and give it a new paint job. Going to turn it into an off-road garden tractor.

Good pace, not too fast but not dragging along either. Appreciate it. I have to leave in an hour and wanted to see if I could throw this thing on before I go. Looks like it’s doable’👍🏽
