Tractor Problems.

[JohnDeereFan8899]

I have a craftsman tractor. I want to buy attachments for it, but just cant find much off the sears website. Does anyone know of any after market or brands of quality attachments of anything? snow plows, carts, sleeve hitches, etc.
Thanks

What model Craftsman tractor do you have? Some do not have and are not designed for sleeve hitches.

Well, anything that can be towed with a pin in the rear hitch will fit from any manufacturer, like carts, aerators, dethatchers, sprayers, spreaders, etc. I'm about 75% sure your tractor does not have a sleeve hitch available from the factory, but you might fab your own. Just be aware that installing a sleeve hitch on a tractor doesn't make it a garden tractor and you risk damaging the transmission with heavy ground engaging attachments like a rear scraper blade or mold board plow. The front snow plow is almost always a model specific thing that you need to order from the manufacturer unless you fab your own. Your tractor was also sold under the Husqvarna name and if you have a local Husqvarna dealer, they may be able to get new attachments for you.
