Hey, This is my craftsman 10hp tecumpseh engine, i am pretty new to mtf so i thought i would show off my tractor to you guys, i am only 15 and do all my work myself. I have replaced the every gasket in the engine, spark plug, fuel filter, both belts, blades, front tires, lights, fuel line.. and prob more but i just cant think at the moment, lol Right now i have been working on a 42 in snow plow for it, i got the plow from a neighbor but the bracket he welded to the tractor so i bought the bracket parts i needed and a cable and handel grip all for 75 bucks now i am sanding down plow and painting it gloss black.. thats why i dont have it mounted yet i will put pictures up when i mount it, I am also going to by tire chains, comment it and show me yours!

Mine is pretty much the same model. When I got (found) it it was the same silver color as yours. Only difference was the engine decal said 12 HP OHV. There is an 11 horse Briggs flathead under the hood, so obviously someone repowered it.

Mine is a yard mule only and something for the kids to ride around the yard.

Of course I could not leave it stock:

Grass Lawn Tire Vehicle Lawn mower

Electronics Technology Audio equipment Electronic device Electronic instrument


Good luck with yours! You seem to be off to a good start!

I have the 18HP version of this style tractor and can't find a set of lenses for it, discontinued on sears. Anyone have a set they would like to box up and ship and sell to me? Only really need the "passenger" side, but I'd buy both.

mine is a 917.255914

Welcome aboard MTF, glad to have you here!

Looks like you scored one clean machine there! And it's also nice to see someone who's 15 who can turn a wrench too! Too many have lost touch with how to do that sort of thing and will spend their lives depending on others to do it. Knowledge is power!

My son is 15, I wished I could get him off the computer to even see a wrench, maybe when he is 16 and gets his first car then he will want to learn how to "maintain" something and not depend on me :thThumbsU

Nice tractor and a good bargin you got it for, looks really good for it's age.

I am 14, I have a craftsman on that same chassis, It my racing mower. 12.5hp briggs flatty with head work (11 h.p head) and a walbro racing carb. Likes its gas but goes and runs well. I have other tractors also. I am hoping to redo it this winter with a v twin, peerless 700 and a straight axle.
