    Craftsman GT, any good?

    We've settled on $290 . I'm not a big guy so it sounds like it would fit me well. Any reports on how the transmission holds up? I'll be dragging logs and stuff around my property... How about some fun modifications or relatively cheap attachments? I'll probably look for a lawn sweeper...

    Craftsman GT, any good?

    Quick question. Anybody have thoughts or experience with a Craftsman GT with a 24hp Kohler V-Twin and a 50" deck? It's an older one with a rounded green, vented hood.

    Well if I dish out $80 more to get a new condenser (on top of the new compressor, accumulator, orifice tube, o-rings and flushing stuff), would you folks agree that there not much to worry about after a good flush, proper evacuation and recharge? The parts run me approximately $350 and the...

    Need A/C compressor help

    I'd like to make try to make the repair myself to hopefully save a buck and also to learn a bit more about A/C repair. I'll go to the pro if I have to tho at some point. Yes, the pulley/clutch part definitely seems to be bad. I read that without specialized tools, replacing the clutch is a...

    Need A/C compressor help

    I have an 03 Ford Taurus with lots of rattling and grinding coming from the compressor area. I found it after replacing an idler pulley, which was making the big ruckus. Afterwards, I found to my dismay that the idler pulley had masked the sounds from the compressor area. Based on what I saw on...
