While the typical Craftsman owner assumes "LT2000" to be THE model number, that number is no help when seeking technical info. Basically, LT 2000 is useful on the sales floor only (as in "selling you a tractor").
Look under the seat for a decal which bears a 9 or 10 digit string of numerals. Usually it will begin with 917.
Find that number, post it here, and help should arrive soon.

look in the cavity under your tilting seat. Get the FULL mfgr's model # and Ser # off the decal. go to the link below - enter your model # and look for a link on the resulting web page that will let you download an user's manual @ no charge - needed info s/b in it.

note: model # should look like this.. 917.xxxxxx

Thanks so far, the number you requested is 917-272850

Link below will get you to the webpage for your model.
Once on that page you can try for a copy of the manual (en Inglese).
