Sears sells you a replacement filter the price of gold exhange, fram sells the same one for 1/4th the cost. Sears tells you the YT3000 takes 48 oz of oil. however it shoes over filled on the dip stick. The operators manul tells you its 56 oz of oil with the filter change. Go figure. I changed the filter, I put in 48 oz, its to full now, the manul says 56 oz. Sears dont have a clue. But I will say this.. the oil sears recommends (Explorer Heavy Duty SAE30) now has my 1 yaer old YT3000 21HSP engine over heating now. Funny, The neighbor has the same tractor. his is smoking all the time.. Sears over sells a scam oil that is not recommeneded for the aircooled lawn tractor, however has no comment when you go to the Lawn and grarden department about the issue.. They just want to sell yuou another bottle of this Explorer Oil. The true answer is this.. Sears leaves you hanging. your on your own.. They made the sale. Commissions have been earned. Next Customer please...
There are factors that will effect this answer. What model the tractor is, what engine it has, what transmission, what condition, where it is being sold, what time of year it is being sold etc... Right now, a typical Craftsman L-1000 in that year range and in good shape will sell for around 300-350 here in Cincinnati, Ohio.
because you have to much gas in the motor
600mls
12 quarts
how much oil do i use when changing my oil in my bolen tractor 5.0 hp
the craftsman 42in, 21 hp mower is going to take 48oz
20oz
Usually around a quart depending on what make engine it is. Once you get a quart in it you should be able to see it on the dipstick and ad more until it gets to the full line.

I have a Craftsman 15.5 HP IC, electric start, 42' mower, 6 speed transaxle lawn tractor that I am trying to price. The model #is 917.259520. How do I find the year built? If I can price mine maybe we can price yours? Have any ideas how I can find the manufacturing date? ejc omaha, ne
A non-commercial model would be about 500-600 lbs.
