| My tractor is a Roper made Craftsman GT-18 that my uncle gave to me for free. It has a 18 hp oppy, and the Peerless 633 3 speed with hi/lo so it really has 6 speeds. This thing has always been a piece of crap from the day I got it. I haven't done many mods at all, but I will show them to you guys. It has been completely rewired with brand new connectors and wire, heat shrink tubing on every connection using the key switch. I also replaced the disgusting waterlogged, cracked rotted seat foam with some chair pads from Wal-Mart covered in gorilla tape, I ran out of tape, but you will get the idea. Currently it needs a starter but that has been ordered, so here are a bunch of pictures for you guys. ![Craftsman GT-18 Utility/Trail Tractor. VKLQENpl](https://i.imgur.com/VKLQENpl.jpg) I sanded off the REALY rough rust and painted the rotted out seat pan. ![Craftsman GT-18 Utility/Trail Tractor. MouAPK0l](https://i.imgur.com/mouAPK0l.jpg) These are the seat cushions, they were like $7. Way cheaper than a seat. ![Craftsman GT-18 Utility/Trail Tractor. ZTtbu7Al](https://i.imgur.com/zTtbu7Al.jpg) I took two cushions and covered them in gorilla tape. ![Craftsman GT-18 Utility/Trail Tractor. 5TnAAnzl](https://i.imgur.com/5TnAAnzl.jpg) I ran out of tape but you get the idea. ![Craftsman GT-18 Utility/Trail Tractor. 2QAtDYFl](https://i.imgur.com/2QAtDYFl.jpg) Rewired with key switch. ![Craftsman GT-18 Utility/Trail Tractor. 7hfo7LBl](https://i.imgur.com/7hfo7LBl.jpg) Beefy @ss peerless 633 rear end. ![Craftsman GT-18 Utility/Trail Tractor.

You are darn right it is sturdy, i dropped the whole tractor from two feet straight onto the rear end. ![Shocked](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_eek.gif) I expected to see gear oil and chunks of aluminum, but it was fine! | |

Lol yeah I did that and I used to get the 18hp kohler on our last tractor going as fast as itd go and pop wheelies in 3rd high when I was younger, when I was at pugs I challenged TRB to a pull off (which ended up being TRB and Stretch) it didnt end well but in first low even with a split diff she dug in and lifted the tractor right up! | |
