Bout to replace mine for the 3rd time since 2018. Definitely a pain in the ass to do. You should make a video replacing one of a used mower instead of a brand new one. My money says it's a very long video. 😂
Yeah you're right all the way old pressure washed stuff isn't that easy the old Lt craftsman's I done it though 2 other times and have plenty of old replacement parts or weld or fix the old shit I've got but i already know what a bitch it is taking the whole thing off with no power tools His came off like cutting butter because it's all brand new
great video but a major nit-pick When using a jack people ALWAYS use jack-stands DON'T assume that the jack will keep it steady. Remember Safety first and Common Sense
But I always end up getting down and dirty every time i don't have no jack unless I dig a hole Or make a open work deck that i can either push the mower onto then work from underneath I always think of ways around shit if i don't have it then make it and make it work I think a open ramp work deck would help me alot on these mowers I'm always fooling with it'd be just like a car lift I'm sure you've seen those
Hell this mower don't even look like the one I got. Oh no higher than you have the jack. And you're not crawling under the mower. just chalk the wheels and don't worry about the jack stand your not high enough to hurt anything. Yeah I know you don't see it that way.
Anyone have any experience in replacing the steering shaft on a 2000 year craftsman mower, 25hp model # 917.275223, model CV724S I would appreciate any advice and help?
This is explained for anyone who wants to replace the shaft 😊😊😊
Well done men

All well and good on a brand new mower. No rust, dirt, grass or anything. Try it on a used mower. Bet it ain't so easy then.
Well done video. Thanks so much
great video but a major nit-pick

You forgot to include wheel alignment.... But still a great video !! Thanks !!!
I got same YT3000(same problem ) was easy fix,mine 9years old(thanks)
Maybe I just missed something but what is the reason to remove the deck?
try it you will see. what a job, much more than explained here
And why did he raise the mower up ?
Just what I said myself. I see no reason for all that extra work since all the removal and replacement was from above.
No need
does the pinion gear come off of the end of that shaft?
Quick answer. No.
Where can you find this shaft for sale? This particular model doesn’t appear on any sites we have visited.
My daughter found mine on Amazon cheaper than the others.
Uh I
Amazon has an entire kit for under $30
Did I miss something or was there a reason to remove the deck...?
He didn't need to remove the deck or the clutch cable
Most likely so the steering rod would drop down.👍
Why did he remove the deck?
To allow the steering shaft to drop down enough to clear the upper dash panel and crossmember.
Great

Chock the wheels. Always use jack stands for stability.
