GardenTractorMan says "Craftsman Bumpers should be standard on all garden tractors" about Craftsman Bumper

GardenTractorMan — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 23:06:52 GMT

My Craftsman GT5000 has one of these bumpers on it. It didn't come standard on the tractor when it was new but the service technician said, "you really need one to protect your front end from damage." The bumper not only makes the tractor look good but it really does protect the front end from damage. The bumper is one of the best attachments you can get and they don't cost a lot of money.

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.

KaFloobs says "Great, inexpensive protection for those unexpected crashes!" about Craftsman Bumper

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!!!

My 70+ dear old dad bought a new LTS 1500 and he likes to get real close to stuff so I bought him this bumper for fathers day and installed it in about 10 minutes and I'm sure it has saved the grill of the new tractor many times already....

mole2 says "A Must Have for the LTS 1500" about Craftsman Bumper

sears-feed — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 12:00:05 GMT

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 caps) to help position it for you and you'll see the two upper bolts that have to be removed. Remove those bolts, slide the bumper in, reinstall those bolts and install the new self tapping bolts in the lower positions. I set mine on the second hole but you can use the third hole to have the bumper even closer. It will not interfere with the hood. Ten minutes and you're ready for your ice tea. :)...

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...

airtray says "Bumper -25499" about Craftsman Bumper

sears-feed — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 15:00:03 GMT

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....

sears-feed — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 19:30:06 GMT

bought this bumper on sale for $29.99...directions called for either single suspension or dual and muffler shields...all different looks than my LT1000. But I had it mounted in about 15 minutes..used the middle hole and everything fits good, hood raises and stays up by itself. The washers for the single back bolt need to be bigger I think. Satisfied with the look...

RollTideRoll says "Simplistic" about Craftsman Bumper

sears-feed — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 04:30:02 GMT

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....

Huntryx says "Great addition!" about Craftsman Bumper

sears-feed — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 19:15:02 GMT

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!...

We just bought our craftsman LT2000 model # 28803 a few weeks ago. We also bought the 2 bin bagger along with it so our bumper was free. easy to put on after studying the directions. ended up having to use the 2 self tapping bolts and lock washers that came with the kit. bumper is real sturdy and hood opens just fine. used the middle hole on the bumper and it looks good too. so far have not hit anything yet and hope I don't. like the tractor too does a nice job on the lawn....

anotherengineertype says "Not a great fit on my Craftsman 21 HP 42" Mower" about Craftsman Bumper

sears-feed — Tue, 20 May 2008 00:15:03 GMT

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 to everyone once in a while....

It bolted right on to my Poulan PD25ph48STA tractor! Use the washer to tighten-up the rear slots, no problem. Looks good and clears the hood opening. Would recommend for other tractors, there are 3 holes in front and a slot for the rear....

I bought this 29.99 bumper first and had no problems whatsoever mounting it to my GT5000. It is quick to install and protects the front of the tractor nicely. also had extra mounting bolts that come in handy....

JeremyInAR says "Fits Poulan Also" about Craftsman Bumper

sears-feed — Tue, 22 May 2007 16:15:13 GMT

I recently bought a Poulan Pro pb22h48yt Hydro from Sutherland Lumber (they are made by Husqvarna just like Craftsman tractors) and this fits on there perfect. It seems very sturdy, the only thing I didn't like was the fact that the rear bolts don't actually fasten down the plate in the back they just keep it from moving but it is not a big deal. I really think that it will help protect my investment in case I bump into something....

i used a 4500 crafstman tractor for a wide area and there are many bushes, and small trees. Without this bumper the tractor may became scratched all the time. It really protects the front of my appreciated tractor all the time. Thanks, for the price and funtionality....
