Just another GT I couldn't resist for $75 bucks. May do some minor repairs and send it right back out the door.

I just got one of these with the 20hp Onan and was told the motor was locked but got it turning fine with a drill and it got 90/100 psi compression. Turns out the starter was sticking. I took the starter apart cleaned it greased it and it hums like new now. Saved me $65.

Nice! Those Onans are supposed to be great engines. Never been able to score one myself.

TheSaturnV i got mine in a trade with a buddy for a new motor for a push mower I spent $30 for. I got plans to add a generator and an air compressor to it and use it as a work horse.

I sold the tractor many years ago. You might on on the MyTractorForums and ask around in the Craftsman/Sears sub forum. Lots of knowledgeable folks in there. Good luck.

Just curious what the model number of this tractor is. I have found at least 3 models of the 18hp Craftsman II with the transmission shifter in the center with the 3 gears and high-low range lever, but this version has the shifter on the right fender. Looking at one on my local craigslist like this too. Odd there would be 4 different versions of the same machine, maybe minor year to year changes.

Tractor has since been sold, so I have no idea about the model number. The 3spd w/ Hi-Lo is the old stand-by from the Sears Suburban days. The later version with the shifter on the side wasn't too bad. I was almost able to operate it like a Hydro.

Ah that's a shame. My current tractor is a Craftsman II "craftsmurry". Most Craftsman tractors are made by AYP, model numbers start with 917. Mine starts with 502. It's got a 12hp single briggs, 40 inch deck, and the coolest thing is a 6 speed shift on the fly transmission. I can shift it without hitting the clutch/brake. Lynolsoffice had one with a bad knock they apparently scrapped, but it's not a bad machine. Rebuilding the front end on mine then I might sell it for something bigger. Really like the Craftsman II cube tractors. Mine isn't a cube though. Took a few videos, need to edit and upload them to my channel.

@@iamdigitalman2 my 6000 has a 91 briggs horizontal opposed on it would you know if verticals will go on it. Verticals are cheap and abundant this horizontal will be a pain. Could use some help deck and rear end are in good shape

@TheSaturnV Thanks for the vote of confidence brother. The trick will be to not fix it up as if I were keeping, then I'll blow any profit out of the water, lol.

@oologahan Well I won't up to you in the tractor dept any time soon, lol. I put a starter in it and it fired right up. Nice sounding twin cylinder. I hate to get rid of it but I just don't need it.
