Video

A commonly overlooked issue: when reinstalling the flywheel cover assembly, pay close attention to how the heat shielding hooks into it. Missing one can/will result in a damaged cooling fan. Don’t ask me how I know.

Great video. Step by step and super easy to understand. Although I'm stuck trying to get that 18mm bolt out of the axle. I tried heat, an impact and brute force and nothing is breaking that thing free!

Do you have any idea how to change the spark plug? Thx

I was just wondering if you could let us know where you order the connectors from, please

Excellent video, especially like your creative ingenuity that saves a lot of time and frustration.

Based on this video, I think I'll take a stab at it. I was going to call a service to come out but you made it seem humanly possible. Thanks. The armpit hair shot was kinda funny, btw.🤭 UPDATE: I faced it and did it. It was a lot more logical and straightforward than I though it would be. Added, I had to replace one of the intermediary pulley wheels. No biggie. And, no mosquito bites. Thanks, again.

Lifesaver. Your video is so clear, precise, articulate and visually excellent (except for a little bit when you are pulling out the carbie and your shoulder is in the way). You don’t waffle on with unnecessary commentary. It’s not easy to get everything right but you have managed it. Anyway I’ve got mine out and the only question is, what are you spraying into the holes in the carbie?

@scootersworld8537 Been trying to find a gas tank but even using the model number I haven’t found the right one

The only thing is my steering is stuck, I can't pull it out to install the belt lol. HELP! 😂

Yoooo this video is Amazing!

I went to 4 different places trying to get a belt for my cub. I ended up and got my belt from Tractor supply 21 dollars and some change + tax. The size of the belt: 1/2 x 78 "V" belt if you don't want to buy the expensive belt that Cub Cadet sells. Props on your video! It was more in depth and in line of what I needed to know to replace mine. I was happy that it did not take me as long as I thought it would.

How did you get the belt into the bottom pulley with the teeth that keep the band from slipping out. You can't remove the top pulley in order to do it and i can't seem to figure out how you got the belt squeeze through

Thank you for this video. Now I know how to clean my

I watched a bunch of these and yours was the best.

I'm really surprised at how many different versions there are of the Craftsman Lt2000. So many differences. That plastic fan in the back over the drive unit, mine doesn't have. Probably a good idea to take a photo of the routing of the belt before you take the pulleys loose in the middle. Thanks for the video. Every little bit helps.

I have an unresponsive throttle pedal...same mower...my drive belt doesn't seem too loose and the fluid is full. Do you think it's the belt or perhaps the rear end is shot?

What spark plug is that?

Thank you!! One of the best videos for my mower, you even showed the part number and that’s when I realized I have been fighting with the wrong size belt! Again THANKS!!!

Thanks, brother!

I have a LT1046 with 57 hours. Had thrown a deck belt, had to slightly loosen the tensioner pulley because it was stuck under it. Tightened the thentioner pulley, Put it back on and now the spring started rubbing the pulley next to

Well done. Would've liked to see it start after the valve adjustment.

Very informative lawn mower deck belt repalcement video and it's much easier to take the deck and belt off after watching the video. Hipa supplies parts for small engines and are you up for a collaboration? Maybe we would work together to help more people in the community.

JD switched from classic green to ag and turf in 1987.

Thank you so much for this

I thought the spring on the cam had came off because mine had the same symptoms. When I went to adjust valves and try that first, I removed the valve cover and it was filled with a mix of gas and oil. Carb must be stuck is what I've determined. But I went ahead and pulled the motor off to drain it and inspect.

Great vid I was just about to pull the flywheel to get at the stator. Last fall I had a question about the fuse block connectors and ended up ordering a service manual pdf for 30 bucks. Wiring diagram and schematics answered that question. Went though a new battery this spring turns out I boogered up that connector after watching this video. Battery is now taking a charge!! Thank you very much! Man, when I had an up and coming lawn maintenance business in the late 80’s we didn’t have internet yet lol . Service guys couldn’t keep up. I’m not anti business , but this you tube and guys like you have saved this ol boy some cash over the last few yrs ! Thsmks Agaim!!!

Exactly what I needed. Thanks, Man!!

What kind of sandpaper did you use?

you have the BEST video for this job by far (for my mower)! GREAT VIDEO!!! thx

question, I have an old hds 2155 and deck belt broke, bought new belt and it is too loose. The deck is level, how do I get belt to tighten?

If you remove the negative terminal from the battery instead of the positive you won't have the arcing issue when reconnecting :)

You done a great job thanks for doing this video

Thx man, you've answered a lot of questions I had. Best video for that carb!

Thank you so much. I'll be doing this this weekend.

I've been having this problem for many years and just lived with it until I saw this video. Wow how easy that was to fix this problem. Thank you so much for the info!

She's purring!

Thanks Scooter, that was a excellent video and very detailed.

glad i found this video, i am doing this job today!

What is the belt size?

It works great if you have a over head hoist 😊😊😊

You missed the center front axle one in the middle that greases the center pivot

good simple video thank you Sir

Pull the bracket out of the frame and u don't have to remove that bolt it's kinda spring loaded and come out and goes back in easy

Well thought out and executed video!

Thanks for the Craftsman clutch video, Can you give me the length of cable or amazon link ? Thanks .

That clutch belt spring is a bear. I replaced my clutch with the trans in the mower. I had to compress the new spring in my vice, and put 3 zip ties in the coils to keep it short enough to where I could get that little screw to reach the threads and get it started. Then used dykes to clip the zip ties once it was back in place.

In process of teardown and ran into a stuck wheel on drives haft on this exact side. How did you remove the wheel?

While you’re in there change out the fuel supply hose and use a good brand of hose also
