Can anyone tell me where I can get a service manual for a newer Craftsman Lawn Tractor Model 13AL78XS093 also model is listed as CMXGRAM1130038. Supplied owner's manual is almost useless for anything outside of basic operation. I like to do all of my own servicing and a manual makes it easier and helps to keep you from screwing something up.
 
There is really not much servicing to do on those, if it's hydrostatic they are sealed units. Just change the oil every 40-50 hours and adjust the valves after 500.
 
You'll have to gather your own information basically.

Look up the engine by the engine make and model, you can find specs and procedures online.

Same for the hydro, find the mfg, look for parts breakdowns, maintenance and repair procedures.

The body is made by MTD. They make mowers for lots of different brands.
 
Ths is not the hydrostatic model , it is the one with the automatic transmission. I'm looking for belt routing, changing, deck removal and basic information like that. Looks like
I might just have to experiment when I need to do something.
 
That 13 prefix on the model number means it was made by MTD. I have worked on their stuff for over 11 years now, I still haven't found a service manual for any of their stuff. If you do find one, please post back and let us know where you found it.

Thanks!
