Mowing With The Tractor
I was VERY bored, so I decided to go out and film me mowing on my 2002 Craftsman GT5000D diesel garden tractor with the 48" mowing deck.

Id hate to be the guy to mow your whole farm XD
Lol luckily I have a MUCH bigger tractor for that, with either a 15′ or 20′ rotary mower. I bet you’d like it then if you got to use those! :p
Too late…. kidding lol
Wow, I’ve never seen a diesel motor on a Craftsman. Is it from the USA originally?
Yeah, but it’s a modified engine. It was originally a gasoline Kohler Pro-25 engine, converted to run on pure diesel fuel. The main thing was to get the valve timing and all right, as to get the compression just where it needs to be to cause combustion of the diesel fuel. It was really complicated, but the good thing is that it works now, and I’ve noticed a lot more torque than it originally had as a stock gas engine.
Wow, I didn’t know the stock motor would be strong enough. Whats PSI is the compression on the cylinders at now?
I know it, neither did I. I was really worried about the push rods bending on me, but so far it hasn’t given me any problems what-so-ever, which is really good. Not sure on the compression PSI (can’t remember at the moment), but I will check again shortly with the gauge.
Is that the original engine? can you show a video of the engine running?
It’s technically “original”, but it’s been modified to run on diesel. I’ll take a video of it running, but there’s not much to see really. lol
Great, Ian! Tractors are really fun to ride in!
