| Just going to start a thread for my mowers, since I use them for the woods, mud, towing etc. and some of them just have minimal modifications, they don't need a solo thread.... Anyway here is what I picked up today, Craftsman GT5000 running diving..... It has a problem with the PTO clutch, it works but turns really slow, I tried adjusting it but it didnt work. I think the whole part just needs replaced.... I am going to use it to mow in our fields & I like these bigger tractors for hauling heavier stuff around the property. 18.5 hp kohler command. High low transmission. 4speed gear.   | |

| Yeah haha, Magnums are great engines. That's a nice rig though! Must have the 122419x transaxle like mine. Should make a great work horse tractor.

| Nice collection of mowers. Looking forward to seeing the new additions. That sux about the threads, not sure if you extract it or not. Can you not leave it the way it is or does it need adjusted? | |

And you say you're not lucky. I've never even seen either one of those in my area, let alone one in good condition in my price range. | |

I need to adjust it because it is running funky, so we will see. | |

I see the 4212s around occasionally... I didn't say it was in nice shape, it runs but it apparently does not steer but I hope to fix it. | |

| Bummer, getting that screw out is pretty key to getting the idle circuit clean in the carb. | |

| How far down is the screw? If it's near(ish) to the surface you could cut a slot in it with a hacksaw and back it out with a flat screwdriver. Just an idea, it could work. | |

| Man these are some good finds.
What are your plans for all these tractors? Parts machines? Gonna flip some of em? Having two mowers is handy so two people can mow at once. | |
