That camo worked out good. Almost looks like a printed sticker or something.

Those are the front tire version of the trail wolf. There is a difference between the fronts and backs. The backs would have lateral lugs (like most) for better traction while the front ones (yours) would be mainly for steering and light traction (like 4wd).

here's the first time I drove it and it was awesome
LAWN RANGER craftsman mudmower - Page 2 Img_1513
and I drove it for a while and went over bumps and a big hill and all of a sudden it stated smoking and shut off, so idid some research and found out the pcv breather was letting oil into the carb like fearlessfront murray so I fixed that problem heres some pics
LAWN RANGER craftsman mudmower - Page 2 Img_1610
LAWN RANGER craftsman mudmower - Page 2 Img_1611
as you can see where the muffler shot all the oil out onto my hood
LAWN RANGER craftsman mudmower - Page 2 Img_1612
and sadly it only has 3 inches of flex so im thinking about make it get more flex is that a good idea

Hi
Curios on how you fixed the issue with the oil spitting out of the PCV breather? Did you add a catch can? I made a video on that issue myself. Here's the link.   https://youtu.be/qmL8MOjxJ20

My motors have that problem too and I came up with a cheap or just free solution so it won't happen again. This is a permanent fix to this problem. Hope it helps.

"Mr. modified here reporting live from the 2015 ATLTF build off...We now have word that the Lawn Ranger Craftsman of Kawasaki220 is back in the garage now after a massive accident. Some serious damage to that vehicle. Massive, massive accident. Uhhh....the crew is even saying now that the frame has possibly been bent during the crash. Replacement parts are on the way, but there will be a lot of work to do to get this tractor back into the race. We'll keep you informed as soon as we get any new information."

well I got her in the garage last Friday took the hole thing apart built a double pulley clutch for it and made a video so all you mower fans can see how to put a double pulley clutch on your craftsman because so far ME AND DOUG AND SOME OTHER GUY are the only ones with craftsman's with modded clutches on YouTube but anyway I got that done and all hooked up so that works great, and I fixed the motor from when I flipped it the float stuck some how so that's fixed and me and my friend ported the motor for more air-gas and it reves much faster now, I also unbent the hood, the frame wasn't bent it was the front axle but that got fixed and I put a spindle lift and suspension on the front with a stronger and adjustable tie rod, from where the seat ripped off the tractor I beat it flat then welded the holes closed and made new holes, lol I did a lot in the past 3 days but I also started sanding it all down for paint, so soon ill get my pics up here and you all will see I've done a crap load of work
