RowdyRebel Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 ...they don't want you to be able to remove the starter. 1983 or '84 Craftsman GT/18...B&S motor. Only way to get it out short of pulling the whole dadgum motor is to disassemble the entire backside of the motor. There has GOT to be an easier way...

hurstscrambler Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I have the exact same tractor, did the starter 10 years ago. I Dont think I pulled the motor, but it was awful.

1958 F.W.D. Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I used to work in a small engine shop when I was 16. Craftsman products were the WORST, and Craftsman products paired with Tecumseh engines were absolute downright nightmares.

j hancock Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Don't know why they screwed that up so badly on the 18. The 14.5 B.S. on my White/MTD was super easy to change.
