model number on the blade is 486-254021 GBIG Model on the frame mount is 486-254051 GCFG Newer plow model number 486.244121 fit as well with shims on the frame to widen it a little bit but the newer plows aren't as strong.
Why did Craftsman stop making that type of tractor? all we get now are riding mowers that are not good enough to use for plowing up a yard for planting vegetables etc, they are only only good for snow plows.
Because new gt would cost $5000+. Most people buy disposable mowers not necessarily knowing they won't last as long as gt. I believe husqvarna still make a gt with fabricated deck and heavy duty tuff torque trans that accepts ayp implements.
Not a lawnmower GT stands for Garden Tractor Granted my one tractor does mostly lawn duty work. Same year 12hp lawnmower transmissions won't pull my rear mower up the mountain yard without braking, less horsepower, smaller decks, and much lighter (less traction) light duty tractor LT Garden tractors have rear implemet options not available for lawnmowers such as bottom plow, rear box blades, cultivaters, and even a rear self powered tiller attachment
Good job on the plowing. Nice score on the 7016. Grandpa had one and he taught me to drive it. I vote for giving it to your brother and keep going.
Thank you for video 👍

Hello I think your blade is the same I purchased model 917.254021. Can I mount this to a Sears Suburban SS16 or ST12?
I'm not sure I never worked on a sears suburban.
