I bought a 1990’s Craftsman 2 with the 18.5 hp kholer magnum engine. All it needed was gas. Charged the battery and put some air in the tires. Used it to pull my other broken mower to the curb. It just pulled it like it was nothing. I was shocked at the torque it has. Got a lot more to do. Change the oil, clean it up and give it a new paint job. Going to turn it into an off-road garden tractor.
Brian! Excellent bro! Loved the music, reminded me of Duran Duran’s come undone! ATF will fix the slow leak. Great editing, great audio and clarity. My first video was terrible! Yours was top notch!
@@5beesgarage After further inspection all it was the connector from the main harness to the headlights was unplugged the Mower was completely gone thru and refurbished before I bought it, they tide off the wiring to the headlights just forgot to plug it back up they work great
Help please! I have the same mower, and i need a new carburetor, but i cant find a model number on it to order a new one. Any chance you know the carburetor model number?? Great video, Thanks!
I parked it after the snow. I picked up a larger Garden Tractor with plow that I will feature and hope to put the LT and GT head to head in a future video.

Those were made during the peak craftsman era. There will never be a better mower in my opinion...
I agree.

They don't make them like they used to.
Excellent work there bring that Craftsman II back to life!
Thank You Joseph! It was fun.

Thanks for the ATF tip Hank. I was nervous for the first one. LOL
Excellent find. Look forward to future videos 👍
More to come!
Awesome video , i can't wait to see some more action with the tractor 🚜.
You and me both!
awesome vid, sick mower!
Thank you! I hope you enjoyed the video. More videos to come of the Craftsman II this winter!
I got one like this every thing works except headlight’s hopefully it’s the switch on the dash
Make sure the connector between the frame and the hood is connected.
@@5beesgarage I will check it in the morning Thx

Thanks

David,
I am sorry but I do not. I had a crab issue with this unit once before and if memory serves me right I was not able to find a replacement.
Have you leveled the deck i can get it leveled
I have not looked at this mower in a while but it should have some sort of leveling adjustments.
What did u do with it
I parked it after the snow. I picked up a larger Garden Tractor with plow that I will feature and hope to put the LT and GT head to head in a future video.
My son just got one other day for 75 bucks. Governer needs adjustment, only problem I’ve seen
Thats awesome Gillis. I wish him the best of luck with it.
@@5beesgarage thank you sir. It’s very appreciated!

HAHA. 1 SP is all you need kid!
For a project
Yes
I need you help!!!!!!
What do you need help with?
@@5beesgarage sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you but my dad took my mower and is going to fix it. Thanks for replying
