You will need to find out what make the transaxle is. If it is a hydro-gear (which is very common in Craftsman mowers) it take 20W50.
Well I'm pretty sure they made one this year....
probably a loose or streched drive belt. also the drive pulley could be loose. the main thing wrong is that it is a craftsman. my experience with craftsman products has been very unhappy, they are starting to make junk. try a John Deere product the next time you will be glad you did.
To adjust the seat on the Craftsman riding mower model 917287120, locate the adjustment lever beneath the seat. Pull the lever up to unlock the seat, then slide it forward or backward to reach your desired position. Once in place, release the lever to lock the seat securely. Make sure the seat is firmly in position before operating the mower.
Pull starter apart. Clean commutater and the grooves in the commutater. Make sure the brushes are good and reassemble. Should work well.
Yes craftsman is the most trusted brand for a reason.
It can depend on the make and model of the transaxle. But, typically they use a 20W50 motol oil in the transaxle.
The Craftsman LTX1000 riding mower typically requires about 1.5 quarts of hydrostatic transmission fluid for the rear end. However, it's always best to consult the owner’s manual for the specific model to confirm the exact amount and type of fluid recommended. Make sure to check the fluid level with the dipstick after filling to ensure it’s at the correct level.
To adjust the clutch on a Craftsman riding mower, first, ensure the mower is on a flat surface and the engine is off. Locate the clutch adjustment mechanism, typically found near the clutch pedal or under the mower. Loosen the adjusting nut or bolt, make the necessary adjustments to the cable tension, and then re-tighten the nut or bolt. Finally, test the clutch operation to ensure it engages and disengages smoothly.
AYP, who make Husqvarna equipment, made the Craftsman 917.28990 (a sweet unit if you can get a good price).
A craftsman is a man who practices a craft with great skill, an artisan. They usually make a variety of things that can only be uniquely done by hand.
