That was a sweet find for 200 bucks and that machine is really in great shape . You can’t find anything that nice around here for that price !! Great job Lee
Around here , all the suburbans or the GT’s or any other garden tractors go for at least 300 to 600 . Some don’t even have engines and most of them are in horrible shape . There is a guy about 25 miles from my house that has 3 Sears suburbans and he want 300 apiece for them and you couldn’t make one out of all 3 . I look everyday on FB market place !! Have a great one my friend .
Awesome tractor i have one 2000 yr model 22 hp Kohler engine its a beast on all fronts still working in great shape it will plow at idle in third gear easily i have not babied it at all love it the transmission is bullet proof just replaced the drive belt a few months ago awesome machine paid just over $3000.00 for it well worth the money after twenty two years of use Great video as well Rock on brother .
To make it easier to lift the box blade, tighten the lift spring. Single bolt from back, upper left of back plate. Move the lift link from the outer hole to one of the holes closer to the back of tractor. Makes an amazing difference. I have one and have done this.
The rear tires are worth a bunch. I put a set of 23 X 10.5 - 12 tires on a John Deere, the tires cost $139 . So you got a great deal, on that tractor. Even without the mower deck 😊
@@MurphyMower The one thing I didn't understand about the tires, when I was looking for tires the tires I got were actually bigger than the stock size, the bigger tires were $8 a piece cheaper than stock size. I knew they would work is why I got the bigger tires. The customer wanted to keep the cost down as much as possible. I did what I could.
That is a great machine, I just picked up the hydrostatic version of the tractor myself. It amazes me how poorly people treat their equipment though, this one clearly been sitting outside and rusting away. Mine was not much better when I got it, but I only paid 200 for it.
These are my favorite tractors I used one for plowing and field work and mowing for years and I just baught a 5000.dependimg on how heavy the implement is it can b a pain to lift it back up and u need to hold it up to adjust the fine hite adjustment .I plowed the big manure pile with the 3000 .the 3speed hi lo is wa better then the autos.i have most of the sleeve hitch parts to add on my 5000
Video ist sehr gut. Habe einen SECO 4x4 mit RC und GPS. Es ist ein ziemlich moderner Gartentraktor, schon meine Nr. 2. Grüße nach dem fernen TENNESSEE aus Berlin/germany.
There is a spring system on the craftsman. setting on the tractor you will see a bolt at the top of the frame that adjust the tension makes it a lot easier. the spring hooks up at the top of that bracket where the long rod hooks up
I got a few of them a good fellow I know let me get a sleeve hitch from him Hallelujah finally got one but now all the gas and all of the motors that I was going to put it on and it turned bad LOL
Around 2015 I got a free one that looked like that but had the hydrostatic drive. It didn’t run. I parted it out selling everything except the back wheels and tires. When I sold the hydrostatic transaxle used the guy wanted a warranty, “a warranty”? I replied with,,,, then I said I’m not a dealer and I don’t warranty old used parts for anyone.
I’m not sure what you’re referring to If it’s the one on the back of the tractor that helps lift the Boxblade I’m pretty sure you can still get those at tractor supply
I know this video might be from a while back but I was hoping maybe that you might know somebody that's got one for sale or run across one it's for sale like what you're showing on your video I've been looking for one if you do I'll keep a look on the comments and the section of the for the Moors are at if I can find it I would appreciate you if you could come up might be worth one thank you
@@MurphyMower in North Carolina they're hard to find I've looked at some but a lot of them are garbage I had one a long time ago I wish I had a camp it I didn't realize how scarce they were going to be thank you for replying back

It’s a good running machine and I got all those accessories, I’m pretty happy

This was a unique score usually they’re not that good of a deal , I got lucky
The blind mower guy has several you can probably get one of his-I don’t know if they’re really for sale but I figure I’ll put the pressure on him-ha
I’m really wanting to get started on my David bradley bad !!

Those are awesome machines in my opinion probably one of the stronger ones out there, thanks for watching and I hope you have subscribed😀
That sounds like a great tractor. 😊

Thanks and I agree the tires are worth quite a bit

I have had several
One of my favorite machines

Wow - long way - sounds like you have a cool machine
Thanks for the comment
Nice tractor
Thanks Danny

I have never adjusted that, but have suspected it was a part of the system
Thanks for the information I will go to make some adjustments
If you tighten up on the deck spring assist lift it makes it a lot easier to go up and down
I’ve always wondered about that big spring I will take a look at it, thanks
can a person hook a 3 point hitch the same way . I like all your videos thanks very much
ua-cam.com/video/zdp_q-vVeDA/v-deo.htmlsi=q8zpfl9bHb79Ug85
I’ve done it a few times. Here is a example.
The hitch is real long and it looks like it needs a deck on it as a counterweight to kind of pull down on the whole system to help pick it up
Takes two hands to lift one up with an attachment
This is about your problem picking up the sleeve hitch you might want to extend the bar underneath
Good idea- thanks
I got a few of them a good fellow I know let me get a sleeve hitch from him Hallelujah finally got one but now all the gas and all of the motors that I was going to put it on and it turned bad LOL
That must be a really good guy to allow one to leave his inventory

Ha - some people- thanks for watching
What were they doing in the tobacco barn?
Smoking tobacco- what they do in fall after harvest-
Blind guy garage got one of my other sleeve hitches
I have same tractor, I can't find the starter solenoid - do you know where the starter solenoid is on these tractors ?
I’m not with it at the moment but it’s most likely under the battery tray
Just follow the red wire from the starter back and you’ll find it
I just saw it in the video and it is directly beside the battery at least on this unit
Where do you get the threaded rod? The vertical rod
I’m not sure what you’re referring to
If it’s the one on the back of the tractor that helps lift the Boxblade I’m pretty sure you can still get those at tractor supply
@@MurphyMower the rod that has 2 90s on it and 2 pins
That must come standard with all sleeve hitches and all of them that I’ve had have that already but you can probably still get that at tractor supply
👍
Thanks

Good luck on the search
you need two hands to get it up ? timer 6:53
Yeah, I know there’s a spring tensioner I just have not done it yet, thanks for watching
