Hello
Went over a bump and the mower deck went Kur-Fluey!!
The 2003 LT1000 has been a good workhorse
Put in 2 new spindles and 1 new pulley and bingo, works like new again! Also a wax job to keep it shinny!

Here are a few other LT1000 repair posts over the years.

I currently have the transaxle out of mine... if I can't get it moving after it goes back in, you want a parts machine? I've had issues getting parts for the snowblower attachment. Never used the mower deck.

I do not need a parts machine right now. Sears Parts Direct has all the parts.
I just rebuilt the snowblower attachment with all new bushings and bearings because the belt was jumping off. Works great now!!
