I need to know what year craftsman tractor serial number 41608D 002426 was built

SOURCE: Craftsman LT 1000 with Briggs and Stratton 20 OHV

lift your seat and look at the label that you got your model number from. to the right of the model number is the serial number. the first six digits of the serial number is the date your tractor was made - for example: serial no. 060802D002756 would make the unit made June 8, 2002

Hi there Avu

It's quite east to see when was your tractor was made, follow these simple steps and you'll know how to see what model it is

1. Lift the tractor / mower seat (pull it up)
   
2. You will see there's a small metal label with the serial and model number of the tractor / mower

4. the first six digits of the number are you the model month day and year (i.e 090999XXXXXXX this tractor was made in September nine in 1999

There should be a pipe OR quick release valve coming out the right side at the bottom of the engine where it bolts to the frame. Most of the Craftsman riders I have worked on, had a long pipe with an elbow at the end of it and a plug in the bottom of the elbow for draining. Turn the wheels all the way to the left to allow enough room for a collection pan. It holds less than 2 quarts so the pan doesn't need to be too large
