Craftsman 18hp Garden Tractor

This tractor was special to me because it’s the exact same model as the first tractor I ever paid for with my own money.

Bought this, mowed the guys lawn a little. Got it home and worked 1 strips. Engine is got. Won’t start

[@stevebentley8382]

I have the same tractor onthe firewall the fuel line goes into this box and the goes to carburator, what is that and how do i repair it

[@enginesandoutdoors3238]

The thing in the firewall is the fuel pump. Check the vacuum line and see if it has a pulse. If it does clean the fuel pump, get a rebuild kit, or replace it.

Great video, Brandon!🦎🎯

That's pretty cool. A horizontal engine setup.

[@jsimm4587]

I have two of these with a blown valve seat . Was the darn best mower I ever had wish I had a new motor

[@enginesandoutdoors3238]

I would have fixed it or got a replacement motor. Easily one of my favorite garden tractor engines.

@@jsimm4587 I find a ton of vertical shaft 18 twins but I know for a fact it’ll be a pain in the ass finding a horizontal shaft twin.

@@enginesandoutdoors3238 yes !!! I’m considering making a plate and mounting an engine on top of this crank to have this mower back

[@artemartem1134]

what do you mean blown seat? like it cracked or it just needs to be reground?

[@mejustairking8122]

i got the same mower

[@gabeandlisadominguez805]

i have a tractor like this one with a bad stater any tips on how to take the starter off? thanks

[@enginesandoutdoors3238]

Disconnect the wire that goes to the starter. Take the two bolts out and it’ll come out.
