Need a blade engagement cable diagram for a 2002 craftsman lt1000

Craftsman lt 1000 blade engagement cable

  • Anonymous May 11, 2010

    need some more information [like model number] - lt1000 is not a model number - model number will be under the seat, beginning with 917. check your owner's manual, it should show how to replace the cable - if manual is unavailable, it is a difficult process to describe, but it can be done IF you are mechanically inclined, if not, i would suggest taking it to a good shop

As far as i know, there is no diagram available for the cable replacement. it is covered briefly in the owner's manual, but the best way to do it is to study carefully how the old one is routed, and replace a step at a time

Sounds like you installed the blades backwards, so the blunt edge of the blades are hitting the tall grass. This would cause the engine to bog down and almost die.
When replacing blades, always note the direction of the cutting edge. If possible, take a digital photograph of the old blades so you can refer to the picture so you can be sure of the direction.
If you go to Sears.com and search your model number, you should be able to find an owners manual that tells you how to install the blades.

A cable is loose that will not allow me to engage the blades, how do I reattach the cable. it is a craftsman Lt 1000 17 IC ohv . model # 917.272260 42 inch cut.

Tightening up a stretched cable is impossible. If the cable is NOT adjustable to shorten it and make it tighter, then you will need a new one. Here is a link to one. I searched all the parts diagrams in your manual for the cable and find it was NOT listed. I hope this helps as I have researched your problem. Go here:

Could you send me a diagram how the drive belt goes around the pullys thanks its a craftsman lt 1000 not sure of the year model

Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly.

Here is the diagram:

One of the major problems on the LT 1000 is that the belt gets installed wrong side out. Just make sure the V of the belt rests in all of the mandrel and drive pulleys correctly.

Thanks for choosing FixYa,
Kelly
