A Must Have for the LTS 1500
JUN

2009
This bumper is a must have for the LTS 1500 (or the other similar brand models) to prevent front end damage. Best of all it only took 10 minutes to install. If you have an LTS 1500 disregard the instructions, get the two self tapping bolts out of Bag B, lay the bumper on the box (after installing the... read full review »

Bought this bumper when I bought I my new LT 1000 Craftsman. It says this bumper "Fits all Craftsman tractors. Easy-to-install." Tain't necessarily so. My Newly purchased in Sears 2007 lawn tractor was made in 2006. This bumper is 1/2 inch too wide for the frame. The bolts that come with it are... read full review »

DGS 6500 garden tractor

MAY

2009
I bought this bumper for my DGS 6500 garden tractor last year, just got around to putting it on. I didn't have to remove the hood or plates that the instructions tell you too. It was a little tricky getting the bolts into the pre-drilled holes, but I did it, and never removed any parts off my tractor

awesome bumper

MAY

I just purchased a 1996 Craftsman Lawn Tractor in need of repair. The first add-on I purchased was this front bumper. The hood has marks from past encounters already...no need to be looking for a hood. Purchased bumper on sale for $29.99, excellent buy and very easy to install on my older tractor...about 20 minutes. I needed help with spreading the mounting brackets, but other than that it was a simple bolt-on. The instructions are easy to follow, just read them!

Simplistic

I just installed this bumper on my DGS6500 Garden Tractor. Installation took an average amount of time and effort. The hood doesn't touch the bumper when open. It hasn't been "field tested" yet but, for minor to average bumps and oops,' this should hold up well. It also adds a more professional look to the tractor. For the price, I would recommend it to anyone doing average yard/garden work.

Great addition!

Really, the tractor should come with one of these, but since it doesn't, this is a good add-on to protect your investment, Believe it or not, it is possible to drive into something and the plastic hood would be kaput in that case. This little bumper (on sale) was a good buy and pretty easy to install. Seems solid, too!

Great, inexpensive protection for those unexpected crashes!
mowing the lawn

My 94 year old father drove out in the street with his mower and didn't see the car coming around the corner.  If he hadn't had a bumper on his mower his entire front end would be gone.  Fortunately for him, the bumper did it's job and protected the frame of the mower.  It was bent up and pushed back into the tire, but replacing it was a lot cheaper than replacing the mower.  As for the car, it was bent in from the front panel all the way to the rear panel!  More importantly, no one was injured!!!

Got it home and put it on in less than 30 minutes. Really dresses up the lawn mower. It's already came to good use. I would have had hood damage otherwise.

Bumper is a Good Value and easy Fit

MAR

2007
I bought a DYS4500 (Model 28726) two weeks ago and intended on having my father make me a bumper for it since they cost $49.99 at the time. This week, they were on sale for $29.99 so I bought one since it would be hard to make one for that price. The instructions say to remove the hood (takes maybe 5 seconds) and to remove the heat shield. I found that on my mower, this was not necessary. You can insert the bolt from the underside of the frame. Just stick your hand through where the muffler shield is and insert the bolt into the frame hole. Then use a 14mm boxed end wrench to hold the head.... read full review »

Cheesy Bumper

MAR

Solid bumper but the mounting is pretty cheesy. This is supposed to be one bumper fits all. The instructions say if the mounting holes on the frame are too far apart, use the extension brackets that come with the bumper. One bolt on each side goes thru the extension bracket and one thru the bumper frame and extension bracket. With one bolt attaching the bumper on each side, hitting something will cause the bumper to move and crush the grill. I had to drill extra holes in the mounting bracket and the frame to provide the necessary strength. If the holes in your frame match the holes in the... read full review »

Not a great fit on my Craftsman 21 HP 42" Mower

MAY

2008
Not a great fit. I like the look of it, and it was easy to install, but after installation, the hood will not open fully. Now to service anything under the hood, you have to use a broomstick to prop open the hood. Put another way, the bumper when installed does not allow the proper clearance for the hood to open up completely. In my opinion, based on my YS 4500 Craftsman Model 917.276620, this bumper does not fit properly, and needs to be redesigned for a better fit. Otherwise it's a good accessory to have and protects your mower in case you accidentally slam into a tree or fence, which happens... read full review »

Bumper -25499

MAR

Just bought an LTS 1500 with a bagger and got a free bumper that won't fit. Calls for mounting holes that don't exist. Even with parts in bags "a" and "b", nothing works. Called the toll free number and can't get the mfg until Monday. Bummer; paid extra for a Saturday delivery. Bagger lower chute near deflector isn't the best of fits either; even the tech on the phone was unsure how it mounted and also questioned why three sets of instructions/choices for that part. Hope it cuts grass well when the time comes.
