Thanks, I'll definitely join. I have several lawn / garden tractor projects going. The GT is going to replace my 2016 Poulin Pro (Husqvarna). I'm tired of the CVT transaxle and all of it's issues. I'm restoring a 1990 Craftsman with a 12.5 for family that just bought a house and an LT1000 to...

Jerry, Thank you!!! That's exactly the parts I needed and just purchased them!! The odd thing is that I search eBay using the AYP and Husqvarna part numbers and came up empty. Yet right in the description on the set you found is the Husqvarna part number. Go figure!!

Mine is a 917.276341. The replacement part is also no longer available. The part# is AYP 187277 (Rt side) & 187276 (Left side). Replacement parts are Husqvarna 532187277/276.

Thanks Mike.

I only have the diagram from Sears Parts Direct. If assuming the background is to 1 " scale, the part I need is 14" long with the center offset. I was thinking about trying to fabricate one from flat stock. I've joined a FB Craftsman forum and will post there. I'll give the old owner a few days...

Thanks all. I'll try to locate those sites. I did reach out to the person I purchased it from. He's going to look around his garage to see if they are there. Hopefully he finds them!! It would **** to have a 54" deck I couldn't use!! I cut 2 acres and takes forever with my 42" Husqvarna!

I hear you, just a PIA. I have to borrow a trailer. I've been thinking the same. The funny part is it, it seems most other parts are still available. Seems just stickers, knobs and these are discontinued.

Happy New Years all!! Several months ago I picked up a 2005 Craftsman GT5000 and have been restoring it. It came with a plow attached and a 54" mowing deck in very good condition. The only issue is it is missing the left and right lift arms and the part has been discontinued. I can't find it on...

I finally figured this out, and I caused the last issue!! I had my son in-law over to load it in my truck to bring it to damaxfireman. I had to take one more shot at it and laid down on the garage floor too see around the housings while my son in-law engaged the auger. What I found was when I...

No air filter, snow blower. The choke has three positions, open, half and closed. Once warm it does blow black on full choke and runs crappy on half.

It does have manual choke and there is really no change.

Because I've experienced a bad gap in coil/armature in the past. Someone in before me was too sloppy. I didn't consider this in case because I purchased it new and had less then 10 hours. Like everyone else here, I really thought I was dealing with a fuel system issue.

Will be doing this Saturday, along with inspecting the coil. If I can't see anything obvious, off it goes to dmaxfireman, he is close to me in CT.

That was the first thing I did and actually tried it a second time to make sure!! I wish it was that easy. Thanks
