Mine is my Craftsman LT4000 42" mower deck( destroyed) with a 12.5 hp Briggs I/C gold edition with a custom straight pipe and 18-9.50-8 tires and a bush bumper. All the uselless stuff(mower stuff) has been removed. Its been repainted twice. First time was uneven and no good.

Ive taken alot of my stock mowers down in the mud- my lil 70 toro with a 5HP briggs did surprisingly good in the mud, my 85 craftsman did pretty good as well- my latest ( well when i go up north) is a 80's agway ( murray) for a stock 10HP , 3 speed and stock tires - it does pretty good, least till y get in the really thick mud.

80's agway ( before it became a mud machine):

Yepper Chunk- thats a dynamark ... the 'newest ' ( or last style). I hear y about plastic- my 94 murray had a plastic grille that was broken- even using epoxy couldnt hold it together- i have an unbroken one off my black 94 murray that im keeping safe in the shed- for now, least till i get time to work on it.

04' Craftsman LT1000
22x12.50-8 Kenda Bearclaws
16x6.50-8 Turf Savers up front (Bought these for the bigger wheel so i can get bigger more aggressive tires)
18HP Vanguard V-Twin

ha yeah i hate those plastic hoods too,the front of my hood is made out of plastic,and the bottom part cracked so we used opoxy and the aluminum plate to hold it together.
it's held up so far for around a year now.

Everyone already knows what I'm gonna say!

I LOVE IT!

But I drive it like I hate it...

FearlessFront:
How come you lowered the front?

The front tires were so much bigger, it wouldn't have sat level. You would have felt like you were always going uphill. I could have lifted the rear more, but it wouldn't have increased my ground clearance at all. Ive often thought about rebuilding it, But I like it the way it is.

My best stock mower was a lt-4000 with a 14hp kohler ohv and a sixspeed tranny. good times with that one but the steering took a crap so now i mod murrays.

Oh ok.
I like them when they sit just a little higher in the front than in the back.
I have a freind with a 1994 Z71 with 36's with no lift and a 3 inch drop in the back.
May sound stupid but it's actually kinda cool.

Out of the mowers I have, my Case has to be on the top for mudding. I use it to carry fill to the edge of my property, and the area I go threw is really muddy in the spring. This tractor has never gotten stuck yet. I have chains on the rear tires.

Yes craftsman FTW
