Are Old Lawn Tractors Worth Buying?

Is it worth it to buy an old lawn tractor? Here's my rundown of 5 years of ownership with this 1994 Craftsman LT4000. Thank you for watching \m/

[@WopGenius]

What an awesome deal. Especially if you've already gotten 5 years outta it!!

[@jimmysgarage9068]

I know! This has helped transform both properties I’ve owned. Worth the small investment to just have a worker/puller!

[@ourv9603]

YES. They dont make em like they used to. The old ones dont have all those aggravating safety switches when malfunction the mow will not start. Old ones do not have OHV for emissions which req yearly valve adj-old ones not. The old one use heavier metal which last longer. New ones use lots of fragile plastics. Old ones are simpler. Simple = reliable & longer lasting.

Great video bud. Some of the older Craftsmans are work horses for sure. I have one i just got like your green one that is mint!!

[@jimmysgarage9068]

Thank you Dan! My green one is in fantastic shape - just dirty! Had the snowblower on it for the tail end of winter and it got pretty dirty! Mowing deck is back on and ready to rock and roll. Hope all is well 🇺🇸🤘

[@jimmysgarage9068]

Did you think this video was useful? I’m thinking I should have showed the tractor actually pulling/working. Hope you got something from it.

[@arthurboucher8393]

I think you need solenoid not stator. Nice deal.

[@jimmysgarage9068]

Totally goofed on that one - not sure how I missed that during filming & editing. You are right sir!

[@SirDanteAlexandru]

"Are old tractors worth buying?" Proceeds to show the greatest mower ever made. Ok that's cheating

[@jimmysgarage9068]

Haha. Thing is a beast.

[@halfasscustoms7131]

Remember When craftsmen were made in the USA and not China

[@jimmysgarage9068]

Yes sir! All my Craftsman stuff is USA made. I only buy the older tractors and tools (when I can find them). Much better quality.
