Would appreciate some good advice on the best approach here:
I am getting a Craftsman Garden Tractor from a neighbor who lives about 1/2 mile away. I just found out the house was sold and they are moving Saturday--so I need a quick solution
Equipment = Craftsman GT model = ? maybe X5000: it is at least 10, prolly 15 years old. It has been sitting for 2 years
Engine = B & S 27 or 28 hp twin
Trans = hydro, not sure which brand
Problem is, I do not have the time to go thru it properly and get it running before moving it. I am thinking of towing it with either another tractor or the truck, no access to a dolley either
Question is: am I going to damage the trans if I put it in neutral and tow it without the tractor engine running? This machine is heavy, at least 600 pounds-prolly more
