I got this carcass of crap from my friend Nick from Medford. This LT1000 is a hydrostatic lawn tractor and is rusty but not rotted. The deck is intact and complete. The front transaxle was bent and fortunately I had spare parts to repair the entire front end. Given, the repair went so well, I’m inclined to continue use with the rebuilding of this tractor to operational. It would be a good challenge.

After my hand injury, it bothered me that I screwed up that main jet accident and I wasnt able to get that carburetor going. While my hand still hurts, I think my ultrasonic cleaner and help me a bit. I screwed that main jet back in and blew out the holes with @lucasoil brake parts cleaner and dunked the carb into my ultrasonic cleaner. I blew out all the holes again with an air compressor and guess what? Will it run?

I was browsing through Craigslist and saw someone giving away 3 lawn tractors. The problem was, there was no address, just a vague map with a town vicinity. The other problem was that they were already on the curb and it’s about 40 mins away. The chances I would scoop up at least 1 of them was not looking likely. About 2 hours later, he posted a cross street which made me go out and try to grab one.
I was lucky enough to get the last one still sitting there around midnight. The next day I started to troubleshoot it and get it started. As you will see, I injured my hand which pretty much put an end to my day.
While test driving forward and reverse, I noticed it wasnt stopping well using the brake pedal. I suspected it needed an adjustment and / or new brake pads. It also had trouble starting sometimes due to too much compression. A valve adjustment fixed the issue.
