Breaks Every Year

"We bought this Sears LT2000 new. Every year we have had it we have had something break. It is just constant repair. We would never again buy a Craftsman mower."

Craftsman LT1000 Lawn Tractor

Model year: 2006Date Purchased: 2006-04-11Number of Hours: 480

"Replaced a Murray 12 hp riding mower that I bought at WalMart and had for 12 years, which gave me good service over those years. First season with the Craftsman, the engine went out due to a "plastic cam that Briggs used on the 17 hp engines", according to the Sears technician who came out and put in a new 18 hp I/C engine "that won't fail like the last one". He was right, the engine is good, but the transmission went out in season 4, then assorted ailments like 2 starters and a carburetor replacement. I have also gone through 2 blade drive belts and one motion drive belt, two batteries and several sets of blades, plus one blade bearing assembly."

Good Lawnmower

"We've owned this lawnmower for fourteen years, and for those fourteen years, it was a great mower. Unfortunately, though, the engine has developed a problem within the last year and now it just plain doesn't work. We think it's a problem with the carburetor, but we'll see."

Craftsman LT 1000 Automatic

Model year: 2000Date Purchased: 2013-04-23Number of Hours: numerous

"I purchased this mower new in 2001 (I think. It has a Kolher 18 H.P. pressurized oil system. This engine still performs great. I do keep a good yearly maintenance program on the engine. The only major problem I had after 7 years of mowing one acre, sometimes twice a week, was the rear end. It began slipping and in short time quit pulling at all. Out of desperation I pulled it out and flushed it out with kerosene three or four times then replaced with 90 wt. gear oil and a little bit of oil stabilizer then put it through the purging process nearly 30 times. Still going. "

"For the amount of time I've used this tractor, I am satisfied with the way it performs. My yard is a hilly and rough terrain and I have had no problems with it. Not only does it mow well but I have a homemade trailer that I use to haul firewood and the tractor has no problem with full loads. I can't lower the mowing deck and need to keep it up as high as possible because lowering it just scallops. The highest setting works well though. Also, when changing the oil, I need to tip the tractor up high from the right side and take the plug out and insert a short pipe 3/8 pipe nipple with an elbow then lower the tractor to drain. Otherwise oil goes all over and makes a mess. Once a year is tolerable for me.Other than those two issues I am very satisfied.One other thing though is that I bought this new with intentions of putting on a snow plow but later found out that it is not compatible because the tractor does not have a cast iron front axle."
