Can someone tell me what DLT means on a 2004 craftsman?

today i bought a 2004 craftsman DLT (can someone tell me what that means?)
it has a hydro tranny 46" cut and the best part a PERFECTLY running 25hp briggs v-twin. nothing at all wrong with it the guy just needed money, $650 delivered
ill post pictures tomorrow if i remember

DLT means deluxe lawn tractor which may give you an point outlet (cigar lighter) special paint and a wider deck.

oh yeah, no cigarette lighter i have seen this paint on others like it before and i dont know if this is a specially wide deck or not but it does have a cup holder lol

thats what i read lol... new craftsmans might come with a lighter lol. my dlh 5000 had 1..

do you have a pic of it cause i would love to see a picture of it. and also i forget weren't those hydro trannys basically like a automatic tranny for lawn tractors

I dont have that tractor anymore. I picked it up for 175 and it needed a motor. I could not find one so a guy offered me 450 for it and tossed a diesel motor in it..

sorry i should have been more specific i was asking theboredredneck if he had any pics of his new tractor cause im kind of curious what it looks like. and then right after i posted that post i remembered that he said that he're try and post pics tomorrow I can be so dumb sometimes

heres the pictures, its a lawn tractor not a garden tractor like i was hoping for but it has a really tall hood for some reason


man, you can see a lot of my random shit in this picture alone lol



after i took these pictures i was drivin it around then i got cocky and tried to clear a small pile of snow, stock tires and full speed for me this far

so i had to go get my 18hp twin craftsman with the four wheeler tires and chains to pull it off the snow pile

Man I really dont like some of you guys getting all these killer deals lol Im joking of course but that is a pretty sweet tractor man. The rear ends on those things kick ass. I will try and find the youtube vids of a kid that had one of those lifted....

i used to be subscribed to BurningTirez because of that lawn tractor he has, and i thought about changing a few things on mine but with the hydro tranny i cant get any more speed out of it without breaking it and having a fully functional 46" deck i want to still be able to mow with it so i cant do much with tire sizes, i think this will get four wheeler tires that are the same size and thats basicly it lol i still want to use it for work and if i get stuck on something else i want to be able to drop the deck and go recover it
i probably half of everything i owned i either got for free or next to nothing one way or another, with this one the guy had it on kijiji.ca and he was asking 800 so i emailed him and said something like "will you take 550? if not let me know what you can do i dont have a lot to spend" then he told me 700 and later that night he said 625 if its gone today so i replied and i said ill give you 650 if you can deliver it so the next day at 11am it was infront of my shed
one thing i always do is lowball just to see how low they will really go but i still try to be nice with it saying if you cant accept my offer what can you do? then negotiate from there lol

Lowballing is a must. People do not understand its CRAIGSLIST OR EBAY. If we wanted to pay full price we would buy A NEW one.. When people lowball me I will usually meet them half way or say yea I can deliver. Nothing wrong..

dam that things got a big engine. it looks exactly the same as my engine.. mines just smaller

do you kno what your plannin to do with it?

i think im going to mount my four wheeler tires on it then just use it to cut the grass, im moving in the next 2 months and the new place has 1.5 acres of grass to cut and another 1.5 that we are going to let grow

I wouldve passed on that - even with the vtwin and deck - $650 seems a bit steep to me , even delivered.

Few years ago I picked up 4 lawntractors, 3 ran , one has no spark - 2 were horizontal opposed twin motor GT's for $300 - 2 became parts tractors, and two are mowers ( one is a GT- the other is a LT11)- i figure for the GT i could easily get $300 alone for it IF i sold it ( i plan on getting a sleeve hitch and front plow blade - thatll make it worth nearly $500).

Some guy at the local flea market wanted $100 just for a teccy single motor - im like " No way would i spend that on a single cylender motor alone - for a twin i would tho" .

Ive paid $50 for a twin opposed MTD that runs- main reason that was cheep was it happened to be rusty as hell, weeds were growing thru the seat and it was missing the starter.

thats insane, i want to know where a ball like that came from. it must have been someone that put it in the intake or something
