I have a 97 Gt 6000 just like yours.. Very cherry for being so old.. Thats when they made tractors for sure
Good machines! Thanks for watching!
Model number prefix of 917. Indicates that it was made by AYP (Husqvarna)
I knew that it was made by AYP but didn't know that the 917 was an indicator of such. Thanks for the info.
That's a well cared for lawn tractor.
Thank you. Fortunately, it hasn't leaked oil. Sometimes you find older engines covered in oil and gunk because of some leak somewhere on the engine.
I remember using one of these for a very large yard, years ago. Back east.
love mine. very similar. a 1999. having trouble with blade engagement. any suggestions?
and do you know if they still make a scoop on the front for snow??
I don't know about a "scoop", but snow blades and snowblowers are around.
I'm a mower mechanic worked on many of these probably in the hundreds by now and I only seen one mower like yours in that good condition I guess the one's that come to me are the ones people dont take care of
Thanks. It's a side job for me. Too many people are asking me to "repair" when they really need to "restore". Much more work and money.
I have one, it literally sounds like a Harley. Beast!!
New muffler? or maybe you want it to sound like that? Thanks for watching.
Wonder how much torque this thing has?
I have a 97 for snow plowing. heavy duty. I put good tires out back with weights amd chains.. will move a lot of snow.. over 2 ft. long as its not up hill lol..
Do you know what this one is known as? Like GT 3000 GT5000 idk anyway mines almost exact but is model 917.258890 main difference I see was mines 20.5 HP Kohler Command... thx..
There is no other info that I know of on this tractor. There isn't even a "GT" on it. It literally says "Garden Tractor" on the front.
What’s going on with the transmission? What type of gearing does it? What size are the axle shafts?
Nothing is wrong with the transmission.
Trying to figure out what pto clutch does it take. Just got one runs great but the clutch is missing and can't find which one it takes. Just got one and doesn't fit ? Please help. Thanks

Search for this part # - Clutch 140923. A lot of results from Amazon.
Looks pretty good Kind of like my tractor.
Thanks for watching!
Have you ever located an owner's manual for this? I have the exact same model, one year older, from an estate sale. Can't find this particular model manual anywhere online. Thanks!
I bought this unit used and never got a manual for it. I did an internet search but this model number comes up with something very different than the tractor in the video. Maybe visit www.mytractorforum.com and ask around.
How do u get air out of lines
Those tractors are nice
I like them as well. In fact, I sold this one to my father in law because it was too large for my yard. However, I know where to get it if I need it! Thanks for watching.
Need to know how to replace drive belt
Where is the carburetor and oil filter and how do I mantain those
Oil filter is located on the left/driver's side of the engine. Carburetor is located at the front, under the air filter (where the label is on top of the engine.
Do you still have your craftsman gt lawn and garden tractor?
I sold it to my father in law, so it's still around and in the family.
Do you have a video showing what size belts that goes on that mower and how to put them on
Sorry, no.
@@RealManSkills this is a 90s the white gray is 80s which better
I was interested in the dial that I cannot figure out the purpose of....lower left side sitting on the mower....
Height adjustment for the deck! Thanks for watching.
@@RealManSkills I thought the big lever on the right side was to raise and lower the deck....can you clarify?
I just bought one of these and I am trying to repair it....
@@Retro_80s_GuyYou have to twist the knob to determine how low you want the deck. The lever on the right brings it all the way in the up position or down to where you have the knob set. Hope that's clear. Maybe I should make a video.
@@RealManSkills Thanks for this info! Yes....a video would be awesome!
Mine wont bag. Whats the shute look like

I picked up the exact mower today with the same engine. It has the 22 Kohler Vtwin in it also but the serial number tag with the family and spec number is barely visible. Can you please tell me what the family and spec number of that engine is so I can find a few parts?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
I don't own this tractor any longer, but I will contact the owner and try to get pictures.
@@RealManSkills thank you so much that would be awesome!
@@MattyMCcRollin17z I added the engine information to the description below the video. Thanks again for watching.
@@RealManSkills I appreciate it thanks again!
I hate craftman but I like the old mower
You need to clean the carb
This is true. It's due. Thanks for watching.
