That old girl cleaned up real well! A little TLC and it is good to go! Nice!

I love these Craftsman LT mowers I've owned several over the years and they've all served me very well, I also see my faithful BG blower basically indestructible lol. This video gives me good memories! The best part when its all CLEANED UP!

Looks like a new mower

Thank you making this video!

Thanks for putting great effort to reviving these mowers

You know it's good when it says turbo!!!!!

I enjoyed watching this craftsman come back to life and it cleaned up very well . Thank you for the upload there Alex on this fine machine 🤘

Nice. I wish they all were that easy, good Ole walbro carb,, they never die. You're lucky wherever you live that you can work on stuff. I haven't been able to film for a few months because it's been a very cold winter in Minnesota. Hopefully next month I can get back in the shop and film

I think you have a real winner there brother. Nice work as always. Keep it up!

Nice. It didn't take a whole lot to bring it back to life and it cleaned up nice Alex. Good job, I enjoyed the video!!!

Nice job Alex, looks good for it’s age😀🇦🇺

I just found out about you from mowersblowers and yesterday and today I watched every single one of your videos, and I've got to say, they are very professionally done. You are good at editing and showing the interesting parts. And your videos are the perfect length. Love the videos, keep them coming!

Ace job buddy , great vid so ive subbed. Looking forward to more vids

Good job! It looks brand new.

at least one light even works.

Good job and video on the old Craftsman Alex, it cleaned up and runs nice. Hope the strainer came in handy. 🙂

Always watching your channel 😍

cleaned up nice ,it looks low hours on it

sound good she looks good thanks for the video

Enjoyed watching

Looks good

As far as deck goes I just replace spindle bearing on both and check the other pulleys really good It’s very important that it works properly to please the customer

Cleaned up nice. I just found an old 17.5 horse 42" cut Murray Tractor that was destined for the scrap yard. Hoping to get it running again. Checked out your video to see how you went about it, and I spied a Grampies Workshop sticker on your bench. Very nice, he's a pretty cool old fella, ( my dear old dad). Good job with the tractor and the video.

Awesome video brother . Sounds good to me .

Awesome

nice save

Oh wow you didn't paint the deck LOL

Hey, Henry said to check you out? I will be back. Ken

thanks for the detail just pulled home the 15hp Craftsman Kohler Command version of this which is supposed to somehow be better. Had no idea it was older than 1995. Seems solid and well built but mine is in worse shape than this one was.

This was well taken care of. Everything worked out. How is that seat not ripped after 27 years? Must be a replacement or tractor wasn't used all that much.

Great video man.... Subbed and rang the bell, keep em coming.

Why you didn't paint some deck that looks really good buddy cleaned up nice

Nice fix Alex. I was able to do your sticker shout out! Looks good on my board!

Looks great Alex, What did you use on the tires and polish the paint with?

That enging sounds so good way better then my 22 hp v twin which is only 4 years old.thats a flathead briggs rite

Very nice older machine Alex. Runs and looks great and should be a easy sell. In Iowa that mower as a project would be on Market Place would say. For sale craftsman rider in decent shape. It ran the last time it was running and just needs alittle TLC. Its missing the right rear wheel and the other 3 just need tubes . A new carb and a fresh tune up and it will be ready for another summer of mowing. Oh by the way the deck is missing but im sure you can easily find a used one. Has a new steering wheel off of a 1961 ford Falcon and im willing to sacrifice this machine for only $200. Serious inquiries only! LMAO. Great job Alex and that rider looks super!! 👍🇺🇸Roger

you must try Mopar penetrating fluid for cleaning carbs , its life changing , carb cleaner is weak junk , soak jets etc.....in a cap full enough to cover em , spray it into carb everywhere , spay it into float bowl and let it sit for a while or overnight , clean everything out with brake cleaner and reassemble , stuff will blow yer mind , it will remove all gunk and varnish leaving jets etc... looking bran new do a lot of carbs and don't use carb cleaner anymore ,ultrasonic cleaners don't even beat it , if you sprayed it down that main jet and gave it time it would of came out guaranteed , and if it didn't come out the mopar would of cleaned the jet holes out anyways so no need to take it out really

Pulls forward 3ft. Reversed 2ft. "Yep it's fixed"

Need to know which drillbit to use to get the rest of bolt that's been grinded on the steering rod on left side??

How come you used 2stroke mix in the intake to get it started instead of regular fuel ? Is this a good trick to know, or would regular fuel work the same too ?

The finger guard is the probable reason they called it turbo cooled I have a twin cylinder opposed cylinder Briggs and stratton engine yeah buddy 😎

I have an old Rally. Manual gears not shifting?

Que clase de lubricante pongo en la transmision de mi Laawn tractor modelo 917 256 500 y como le saco el usado y pongo el nuevo?

What did you sell it for

I have a newer model of this mower with an odd issue. I was cutting grass one day and it just shut off. I initially thought the engine was locked up, but I eventually found that the starter had failed to disengage and had jammed in the flywheel, and the positive cable running to the starter motor was disconnected. I removed the starter and bench tested it. Other than a slight wobble to the bendix, it worked fine. I replaced the solenoid, but all I got after that was a click. I noticed that the new solenoid is clicking as soon as I begin to turn the key, and long before it gets to the start position. I disconnected the connector from the back of the ignition switch, and it is in rough shape. I reconnected the switch, turned it to the run position, and laid a piece of metal across the terminal on the solenoid. When I did this, the engine turned over, but the starter failed to disengage again, and got jammed in the flywheel. At this point, I am guessing that the ignition switch and the starter are bad. I am guessing the switch went bad, caused the starter to fail to disengage, and the starter was damaged when it got caught in the flywheel. Does this sound correct, or is there something else I can check? It has me stumped.

I wish you would show how you put that carburetor together it would have helped me a great deal

What year is the mower? I have the same one and I’m looking for a hood.

I have an old Craftman 917256500 seried 100495a 001842 i can't move the transmission move from first to second or reverse is stuck, i opened the transmission but i think needs grease or lubricant. Have you ever done it?

I have a crastman Ii riding mower with 18 HP engine on it..6 speed...I need a part number for the drive belt on it...does anyone know.. thank you and God bless you always Ezequiel
