Love these videos showing someone working on a perfectly clean machine in a perfectly clean environment.
This is the most complete information to work in the tractor thank you
Watched this video went out and drop my deck did the maintenance that needed to be done without any problems at all.
This is one of the best videos I have watched on mower repair. Great Job!
Thanks
Thanks a lot for the video. I wasn't sure of how to remove the deck until I found this video. The other "How Tos" it are good as well. Thanks again
+David Brown Thank you.
Finally someone posts something that actually helps me. Thank you
+Joemyself Glad to help.
pro trick: you can watch movies on Kaldrostream. Been using them for watching lots of of movies these days.
@Zaire Justin Yea, I've been watching on KaldroStream for months myself :D
thank you very helpful
Needed this a long time ago thank you
Hey. Greatful for this informative video. I was wanting to know if its possible to change out on the deck assembly, the star adapter for the blades?
Thanks for the tips on making things easier with this mower,, I have a problem with my YT4000 with the lights,, they are alternator driven, , they no longer burn,, new mower,, any suggestions ????
Thank you for this video. Can you tell me what the black tubing is that is connected to the gas tank when you removed it? Where does it attach?
Nice 👍
Need help. Are there any way to adjust auto-drive pedal resistance? I have Craftsman T1600, the drive pedal is very hard to be pressed down for extended period of time, like 2 hours. Or are there any way to hold the drive pedal without foot pressed on?
Thanks
What lweb site can you find a manual on how to put together a craftsman lawn mower from the bare frame piece by piece
What's the part # for the rear cooling fan? I'm needing one. Thanks
Boaring but so useful. I wish you showed how to remove the hood. Great video. Good job.
You just open the hood on the mower and lift up on it will come off
How can I see differences between this YT3000 and my LT2000? Skimming thru, it seems this video does not show most of the springs. RepairClinic has 4 videos about Craftsman lawn tractor springs, but my broken spring is not any of those. I keep trying to find parts diagrams / lists which show all the springs. Where can I find that?
I have a Yt3000 and I am trying to repair/replace the transaxle link but I dont have any repair manual to show me how to replace it back on. The old one is still only attached to one end on the upper end and other end (bottom) is dangling on it. Would you happen to know where the bottom end attaches to on it?
need drive belt diagram for 2010 yts 3000
I have a Craftsman riding lawn mower with rear gas tank. What do i do to replace the whole fuel line?
I have this exact model and mines won't go uphill and plus even if I lower the speed and higher the speed there is no difference. also with does problems the reverse is fine but going forward is terrible. I am guessing someone had put their foot on the gas pedal and the one on the left. The forward pedal and the one on the other side(left side). Please tell me what the issue is and how to fix. Thank you
Awesome Video, thanks so much. I'm trying to change out the fan that cools my transmission. I'm using a ratchet set with three quarter
Socket. But I can't stop the nut from turning , right or left brake on or off. How do I get this nut to stop moving whiles I'm trying to remove it so I can install a new fan. It's I hydrostatic and the blade is completely gone. I've been using it for a while, and didn't know I was missing the fan. After it gets hot, it will not go forward or back wards. Once it cool down its fine.
I know this is much later but if the belt is tight the pulley holds it so your impact zips it off.
Good video but wrong tractor for me. I’m working on a belt change on a 1990 John Deere 170
I got gas tank under seat. How do i get to that with tank there?
But how do you get to the transmission to fix the pulleys and clutch?
How to reassemble the blade engagement handle on riding mower
I have a craftsman riding mower it keeps breaking the starter motor head any ideas?
hello, I have this mower and it has been shutting off about 10 mins into a mow, then it won’t start back up. I replaced the battery and it’s still happening..do you think it’s the alternator? thanks
To be safe don’t wear rings while working on the mower.
Need belt routing ,on a c5000
so i took the deck off my mower just like this as i’m converting mine to a race mower, but it’s not starting and i really don’t know why. could anyone help me?
What volt battery does a Craftsman T110 have
My 21.0 HP Craftsman lawn mower motor will not turn completely over each time the key is engaged. I've tried two new batteies fully charged and get the same results. Also reset the valves. exaust on 006 and entake on 004. Same results. HELP.
My steering shaft is wobbly. watching this video leads me to believe it is a common problem. I wish my mower was that clean when I get underneath it.
Hey always - there is a PLASTIC bushing that is about 8" from the steering wheel end of the shaft. That's the likely spot where wear occurs. If you take the gas tank out, you can see it easily. The metal bushing at the base of the shaft that is shown being removed is probably not where the wobble is occurring. The part# is 195227 from Sears Parts Direct. $4.02 There are other videos on removing/replacing this steering column bushing.
Can anyone help me: Why is it that the chute gets clogged always when cutting? The collection bag are empty and I clean the chute always before and after every use!
They YT seriers (one in this video and others has issues. The rear end mounts like to break. Its a chincy design. The actual front mount for the rear end is not braced properly. Plus the Mounts for each side of the axle are flimsy metal...What happens is everytime you push the clutch it pivots the rear end with tenion...What happens is the tenion from the pushed in clutch over the years tears the rear mounting points and since the fronts is not braced properly the front mount turns into a swing instead of actually keeping the rear bracked. Its a known problem.

How does a muffler on a riding mower gets stopped up,
I have an issue starting my craftsman yts3000. It only starts when I spray starting fluid into the carb. And once I turn it off and come back after a few minutes, I need to spray again. And I need to keep it all the way at choke to keep the engine running smooth enough, how do I solve this?

These videos are all well and good but why do them on a brand new mower? Why not make some videos where the mower is 10 years old and rusty as you know what! This man does 2 days worth of work in 15 minutes, IF only it was that easy. I spent a half hour on my YS4500 just trying to get the spring into the idler pulley, Not to mention the tremendous amount of busted Knuckles!
because there new mowers are also having issues
Shuts off after engaging
my craftsman 27220 lawn tractor cranks but wont start....... any advice??
Juan Melendez There are several possible causes. Enter your lawn mower's model number in our website's repair help for model-specific troubleshooting and repair help information: www.repairclinic.com/repairhelp?TLSID=1773.
I cut my grass 2 summers with this Craftsman riding lawn mower. That is it ! Transmission gone ! Plastic ! I am an older woman and can't afford to spend $1,400.00 every two years. Sears should recall this peice of crap. I'm left with an almost new mower that doesn't work. I was told by a Sears repairman that I could buy a new lawn mower cheaper that what it would cost to replace the transmission. He even told me to never buy another Craftsman from Sears again. My last craftsman lasted 16 years. I will not buy from Sears again.
Trying to remember how to put my mower back together under the hood
Craftsman is the ford of lawnmowers
Cannon Brooker so what are you trying to say
Say, I enjoyed this video but am looking for specific help with this issue. I have a Sears Craftsman Riding Mower Model 247.27020 and am needing help replacing the carburetor and putting the back piece back together. It seems like it's spring loaded but I'm not sure. Any ideas or help you can send me to on your website?
Thanks so much!

My Riding lawnmower does not stay on
They didn't make it harder enough to get gas tank out...
I will never buy one of these again.
Should've bought a Cub cadet
what about replacing a tire that's what i came for
When I change blades I tip the whole mower
Ok I feel like a total moron but I have to ask. The first year I had my yts3000 (2010 -2011) I took the battery for the winter... installed it in spring and never took it out again, I would just disconnect the cables for winter storage. Last summer, the battery would be dead if I didn’t use the tractor for two or three weeks, I’d charge it and it would be fine for awhile, this year it got so bad it wouldn’t hold any charge. I just bought a new battery and while installing it I noticed the “+” and “-“ terminals were opposite of the original battery so I checked the old batt and OMG!,!, I have been running the tractor with the battery hooked up backwards since the second season I owned it! So, why did it work,charge and all that without blowing up??? The terminals on the new battery ARE exactly the sam as they were on the old one, - on the left side, + on the right. But I had the red cable with red rubber boot hooked to the left side for years with no problems at all... what gives? Now I’m afraid to hook it up to the + side for fear it’s wired wrong from the factory! I followed it and it goes to the switch for the starter under the hood and the black cable I had on the + terminal goes to ground under the rear fender. So why no grand explosion or even a pop, sizzle, and puff of smoke?
Wear gloves dude! Your hands look like you just tried to give a cat a bath.
it's to bad there isn't a video showing how to fix real problems, like no reverse or replacing a drive belt, tractor will not move.. how to adjust the valves .. ect..real problems, not things that a house wife can fix.
I can't get this nut off the blade
oil gun or wd40
I got it with a pipewrench
never buy one of these crapsman mowers
TherealDeal 70 bought one second hand. it does a jerk/whiplash causing motion when i put it in forward or reverse. im kinda regretting it.
I have had mine 4 10 years no issues it's the user not the product.
Wrong! Mine has less than 100 hours on it and is now a piece of shit.
My 4500 is going on 12 years now. It's outlasted a Stihl trimmer and Husqvarna blower. New Amzoil and filter, air filter each year, 89 octane fuel, never mow wet grass, always blow off [with second blower] before putting away. Of course, the Craftsman power washer lasted 3 washings before the carb went and had to be shipped off for repair. Sadly, after a single washing, it is acting up again [complete failure to start]. Damn craftsman for removing any carburetor controls :-)
Steven Lopez There a piece of crap it's not the briggs & Stratton engine it's the crap frame and very thing other than the engine it made as cheap as possible and selling it as just as expensive as a good Husqavarna or John Deere. I race mowers there junk absolutely crap.
Empty the fuel tank. Then you don't explain that. The rest of the video is useless because I don't know how to empty the fuel tank
musicfun use a pair of plyers to take the fuel line thats attached to the carb
I bought a bunch of fuel shutoff valves on eB. I install them on all my gas engines. It makes draining the tank easy. Just cut the line and plug it in. Takes 2 minutes.
Duh! run it until it is out of fuel.
The mower deck on the left side (same side as lever that raises and lowers it) will go down. It's hung on something. The grass expulsion side drops all the way to the ground like it's supposed to. I watched this video from the 4:51 to 4:54 mark to see what was different but I don't see any movement that's different in the lever here. My dad's simply will not push the deck down to the ground. What could it possibly be hung up on?! It doesn't appear that anything is bent underneath. We just changed the blades and this all started after that. Something must have happened when he raised the front end with the floor jack. Our Sears Store that sold this to us went out of business a couple of years ago so we're at a loss as to who to ask. Thanks.
