Craftsman LT1000 "NellyBelle"

Have fun with it man! If I were you I'd check the heat of the trans once in a while, just put your hand against it and feel it. If it gets more than lukewarm then you should tear into the trans and see what's up with it. I usually check the heat of the trans in my rigs after every run, just to see if she's getting too warm and if it needs some oil or something.

Sure will! Also, forgot to mention, I didn't glue them in, I took a bolt the next size up and it threaded itself in with some elbow grease! Real happy with that, much easier to take apart in the future.

Those bolts were self tapped into the case originally, Peerless never bothered to run a tap into the case. The case bolts are actually tapered and triangular at the end I believe. What I woulda done is tap it about halfway into the hole(or as deep as a starting tap would allow) and use the unfinished threads to hold the bolt as tight as possible. Your way works too though, can't say I haven't done that before!

Well it is a tapered bolt. It's also not a peerless, its a spicer...not too proud to admit it....

Ah, just run what you got! Hahaha

I do have a 920 I should probably put in it, cept it's missing the detents.

Alright everyone, took 'er for a spin in the icy snow, fully operated my clutch, came to a complete stop in gear and my belt never came off. Still gonna add the belt keepers just cause, but I'm really happy with it! Didn't speed test it because I didn't want to lose control on the ice.

Nice! Having a belt that actually stays put is always exciting hahaha.

Very cool! or cold i guess , its negative 4 here and wind chill is negative 20. How ya like them mud lites ?

Wow Big, lol! I love the Mud Lites, the tread looks so cool and the tracks look even cooler!!!

ik right??!!!they look like you drove backwards when you drove forwards ! could confuse people chasing you on trails i guess lol

Lol! Dont trespass though, so no one should follow me!

oh, well , i might so yeah ,......

lol! I do go over to a neighbors land, help her with fence work and stuff, also we both border the same lunatic redneck hillbilly trigger happy jerks, so I also have security cams over their for her. She has a sandy "canyon", drops about 12 feet, is about 5 feet wide, and goes on her land for about 2,000 feet, nobody has ever gone through it on a vehicle w/o getting stuck. I hope to be the first!!!

redneck hillbillys? wow thats some crazy neibhors . Its kinda hard to get stuck in sand with a mower cause of the light weight machine and good traction .

I need to run over to the canyon tomorrow, I'll take sone pics. Its really insane, a gator can't even get through it.

Canyon sounds really fun. If the neighbor lady is cool with you riding there, man what a deal. I remember you talking about those other neighbors. Sounds like they have something to hide.

Yeah, lots of fun over their, I'll take some pics of the canyon. There is an old rocky road over there, 'bout 20 years old, completely abandoned, just about anything can bottom out if you're not careful. Those neighbors are very suspicious, needless to say, we have security cams on them....

Just watch some of those vids, show you what kind of people they are. Get over the violence and it's actually kinda funny, how they are trying to annoy us but it really makes us laugh how dumb they are.

Gators are heavy bulls , and not really an off roading machine . there pretty fun for joy riding but get stuck to quick. Woa those people and there signs lol

Some odd neighbors you got there lol. I'd bet they're dealers or growers...

Make sure to get some footage of that canyon! Sounds like a sweet place to romp

Lol, yep that's what I think too!!! They do go for drives when they've had one too many, nearly got hit once.


I will be sure to do that, it is super cool! I think I have some pics, not of the romping parts, but of the beautiful view over there.




Funny people should say Texas is flat.

Looks sweet, bet there's some challenging hill climbs there! Haha

Yep, tried one once with an open diff and turf tires with a trailer on the back...worked reeeeeeal great.

Hahaha, be careful not to flip over, or get the hell out of the way if you do! Having a tractor land on you sucks!

Yalp. 'Cept what happened to me was I lost traction and started back down, floored the clutch, kept going...jackknifed the trailer...jumped off before and manually kept it from rolling, then moved it onto level ground again.

After repairing the trailer, I went home.

Crazy neighbors. Looks like a lot of fun!
