I change the gear oil and hydrostatic transmission fluid on my Craftsman Lawn Tractor.
Replacing a 6-speed transaxle with a Hydrostatic in a Craftsman tractor
I like everything about that Craftsman LT4000 twin, except it's 6-speed manual-shift Peerless transaxle, so I decided to swap it with a Hydro-Gear hydrostatic trans I had on a Craftsman LT1000. It went pretty well except for one little oversight. (I talk about that at the end.) This tractor was built by a company then called AYP, formerly called Roper. Now called Husqvarna. This swap will work on many brands. Poulan, Rally, Weed Eater and lots of other store brands.
Sears Craftsman FF20 Monster Garden Tractor - first start
Here is our new tractor, a Sears FF20 tractor powered by a 20hp opposed twin Onan engine. This was/is the biggest tractor ever produced by sears. It has a direct drive Eaton hydro transmission which drives huge 26" rear wheels. This thing could crush the GT5000 if it had the chance, and weighing in at 850lbs, that would be no problem for it. The paint job sucks, as does the seat. But for $200 it was a well worth it!

How to: Make A Riding Lawn Mower FAST!
Here's a video covering the pulley swaps, and custom tensioner pulleys I've built and installed on our off road and mudding tractors. Pulley swaps make you lawn mower faster. You want to increase the size of the front, and/or make the back pulley smaller to increase the speed of your lawn mower or tractor.
