Comments (7)The thought of tilling and planting a vegatable garden helps me get through the winter. I have four immediate neighbors that have gardens. Most of them can their vegtables also. I remember a time my next door neighbor George (who past away about six years ago) and I filled up my VW Vanagon with cow manure from a local farmer. We were both in the barn filling up large plastic garbage cans with the manure. Cow manure sure does smell when your driving home with it no matter how much it gets sealed up. At that time Georges wife was very sick and bed ridden. Since he spent most of his time outside he rigged up an electral bell she could ring if she needed anything he could hear while he was outside. Florence started ring that bell when she smelled that manure. We both had a good laugh over that and it's a moment I enjoy remembering. He was like a grandfather to my kids. That cow manure is good stuff, I think it was the best garden I ever had. The last few years we have had piles of composted horse manure delivered. It's starting to become a sign of spring. I am thinking of selling my LT150 and buying a GT225 that a guy has for sale locally. The GT225 is a 2001 with under 300 hours and mine is a 2003 with about 350hrs. I'd like to not need to buy another mower and I think the GT225 will last longer. Although I must say the LT still is running good....See MoreCraftsman garden tractor dies when clutch/brake released
Comments (15)FYI ---UPDATE After removing the mower deck I was able to clearly see and feel exposed wires running to the rear of the mower. After replacing all four wires did the mower come back to life. Funny thing though, the seat switch, while depressed, did not allow the mower to run. It wasn't until after I pulled the switch out from beneath the seat did the mower turn on. The seat switch is somehow backwards. The great news is I was able to locate shorts in both the ground and seat switch wires which turned out to be the source of the stalling when releasing the brake/clutch, engaging the mower deck and when turning the steering wheel to the right. My advice is to look for exposed wires and replace them....See MoreCraftsman tractor keep blow up fuses
Comments (34)Craftsman Kohler V-Twinn 22 HP 50" Deck I had the same problem...fuses blew as soon as I would turn the key. I done the wire check, battery, everything. I jumped across silinoid to start but the tractor wouldnt move or blades wouldnt turn on. When tractor was running when releasing clutch I would start to move but the mower would start to die until I pushed the clutch back in. I finally found a plug on the left side of the engine. (I think it is called an ammeter.) I unplugged this turned the key and to my suprise the fuse didnt blow. So I jumped on and it started. I put the mower deck on and again to my suprise the blades came on. Now the mower was running rough and maybe backfired a few times but the damn grass is cut. Will buy this part tomorrow lol. hope this helps someone....See Morevolt meter needle jumps
Comments (14)Hoo boy! It may be that the 7 second interval is tied in with the wiper control switch. Does your Jeep have "intermittent" wiper settings? If so, one of those settings may have defective contacts that are attempting to cycle the wiper motor. Wiper motors have an "end switch" which is powered up even when the wiper control switch is turned off. The end switch is what interrupts the power to the motor when the wiper arms reach the "park position". Intermittent wiper settings exploit the end switch function to give you that option by feeding the wiper motor a momentary application of 12 volts, just long enough to move the wiper arms off of the end switch park position. The end switch circuit will then carry the wipers through one complete stroke before parking the wipers again. The various choices of intermittent stroke timing reduces the pause time between the short power applications, the end switch does the rest. You can probe the wires that connect to the wiper motor to see what sort of readings you get at different settings of wiper speed and parked. As I said above, you should have one wire that remains "hot" even when the wiper switch is off. Intermittent wipers will send the brief power pulse to the motor on the "slow speed continuous" wire. Once you identify which wire works low speed continuous, then check that wire in the intermittent positions to see if this is the "spike" you have been seeing....See Moremrtractor
