New member here. I am working with little knowledge and on the project with my ten-year-old son, who is leading this endeavor, so please bear with me.

Today, we just picked up what appears to be a 1992 Craftsmen LT4000 6-speed with a 14 hp Kohler Command14. We paid $150.00 for it. It runs excellently, it is clean, and it seems to be in fantastic shape. Aside from that, I do not know what we have (whether it is a good candidate for a build or has good counterparts). My son concluded that the Craftsmen LT series tractors were appropriate for this building type.

Model:
Craftsmen LT4000, #917.255693

Kohler Command14 CV14s, Spec No. 1445


Based on my son's research, he wants to do a pulley swap for speed and later put larger tires on it. Looking at the machine, I am unsure what it can be transitioned into. I noticed that the front pulley is maybe 3-4 inches, and the belt clutch is right next to the front pulley, making me wonder if we can even add a larger pulley to the front.

I am also curious if anyone can identify the transaxle. It is a six-speed.

Any feedback and advice is appreciated! I want to ensure we are not throwing good money after bad, and since this is my son's project, every penny matters to him.

Thanks!
