Ford lgt 165 /craftsman lt4000

Thanks for the info it does have the H pattern, what transmission would be better the peerless 2300 or the roper 633?

Both are really well built, but I would assume the 2300 since the case is cast iron instead of aluminum. But gotta remember that adds weight

Well actually in that new of a tractor it will be the AYP version of the 633a, which is called a 122x series or something like that. A little bit lighter duty than the old 633a's, but still really tough!

Ok thanks for the info it does not have a did lock but would it have independent brakes? Or would you have to mod that.

You would have to mod that. @mr.modified made some interesting brakes that you could easily make separate of each other. They are on his Simplicity adventure edition. He can explain them better than I can but they worked well from what I understand

Ok

since my budget is limited I have a few other tractors I’m looking at but would rather take the ford.

Mind my asking what else you are looking at?

Not really anything just got the photo of the engine, gunna be a let down for everyone thinking apossed twin kohler

Ooh a V-twin! Nice! So you thinking about pickup the Craftsman then?

It’s a kohler command, still in my opinion a great engine, have the exact engine in my John Deere gunna ask him a few more questions then hopefully I’ll have it sat or if I can’t get it then Wednesday next week

And yes I am definitely getting it!!!!!!

Nice man!! What are your plans for it? Workhorse? Off-roader? Mudder?

Gunna be a fuse between a workhorse and a mid range racing mower, aka high low shifter, since our farm needs a tractor that can pull a few hundred pounds at a time up hill usually a 30-40 degree angle this tractor will be perfect. I have this tractor (or one similar) it has a strait shift but needs to be replaced due to heavy frame, hood, and engine damage, also the head gasket if broke from the cylinder to the valves, and from the valves to the outside, I put 2liters of oil all gone in at least 5 days because the leaking is so bad.

I’m thinking about starting a YouTube channel as well just to show all the crazy stuff I do.

Bad news the guy for the craftsman he wants more that what my budget affords so I can’t even get if for my limit of 400 so I had a backup witch I’m looking into a John Deere 214

Bummer. Have patience, youll find a good one sooner or later.

Yep lots of patience, I’m looking but the few I find are two far away. Recently found a John Deere 214 with a Chrome exaust but also to far.

For what its worth, and Im not sure how much was in the wagon... but my sears dont pull uphill well. I dont have wheel weights so that might have been my problem.

Just something to think about.

Good news I have found a John Deere 300 with dual hydros and a snow plow, currently talking to the guy but I hope I can get this one.

Ooh, nice. Got any pics of it or was it a local thing?

It’s for sale locally but here’s a photo

Aw cool! What's he asking for it?

There is no mower deck but I could find a mower deck for a 318 pretty easily and just put it on it. He’s asking 1100 but he’s open to any offers he hasn’t got back to me but I said 500 cash and I have 2 tractor without engines if he wants one.

And of course, he wants 1100 for it, so that’s another no.
