I only have a foot pedal for increasing the engine speed. Is there a top mount lever for fuel feed? My dash area has a grommett but nothing was inserted when I bought the tractor. If you have a picture of a complete dash that is original, that may help me in restoring this little gem back to original. My tractor is a L-1500 gray market serial # 44782. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Hey Vic,

This tractor is classified as 4WD and has a lever on the rear left side to engage the rear with the front wheels when desiring 4WD. Apparently it also has this differential lock on the right side. I guess then, to really be in 4WD mode, I need to have both rear levers depressed???? If I have none depressed, does that mean I only have front wheel drive - don't think so???? A bit confused as you can see. Can anyone clarify for me, thanks. I have an L2000DT.

When stuck, engage the diff lock with care. "Idle" the engine and driveline until you feel the diff lock up, and only then, power up the driveline to free your tractor up.

Do I really need to make sure both rear tires are turning before engaging the differential lock to prevent damage to the drive system like it says in the manual? If so when someone is stuck and both rear tires are not already turning damage can be done to the drive system when the differential lock is engaged? I am confused this does not make much sense?

Try to see if the linkage is siezed where it enters the tractor body. Sometimes you can get it to pop up if you drive in reverse for a few feet. Listen for any heavy clicking noises and try oulling up on the pedal at the same time. Once free, investigate why it's sticking. Jason, have you been trying to pull up on the pedal?
