Where would I find the serial number on a L2550? Insurance is asking and on the bill of sale it's only a five digit number which seems odd. Shouldn't it be longer?

I fabricated all parts. They wanted around 700-800 each for fenders alone. It would have cost 3-4k to buy everything.

Last winter I bought a 1984 L2550 GST. It was mechanically good, however had significant rust. I spent the summer striping it down to the engine, transmission and axles and re-painting it. I can only upload 5 pictures. If you want to see the whole build here is a link to all the pictures(they...

Thanks. Looked at taking dash off to remove pulp and the dash is hitting the cab. This will be easier than lifting the cab.

My L2550 has a battery electrolyte sensor. The battery I have is a closed cell. Other than taking of the dash and removing the bulb is there anyway to get the warning light to turn off. I have attached a screenshot of the manual and a picture of what I think is the sensor wire.

Anyone know the exact size of these o rings. I ordered some from the dealer but will take a few days. If I had the correct sizes I could probably find some in stock locally. I took them of and the 2 that are labeled as 150 on the diagram are not the same sizes. So one shrunk or the other...

That was it. However just as I feared it looks like I blew a seal or something. Oil is coming out off the 2 bolts besides the knob. I assume it's one or all of the or rings shown on the diagram(part 150 and 170). Could it be something else before I start ordering parts?

I have a L2550 GST. I just finished tearing it down to fix and repaint it. I had everything of the tractor. There was only motor, transmission and axles left. While apart I also took apart the rear axle to change a seal. Change the hydraulic filter and put in new hydraulic oil. This weekend I...

Thanks. They are actually the manufacture of my cab. I also did notice they don't appear to build cabs anymore. I'll contact them anyway to see what they say. I'll let you know what they say.

Were I can I find window latches like these? Actually only need the little round piece on the bottom of the picture but would buy the entire hinge if I can find it. I have searched online and only found some in Europe. Surely these are sold somewhere in North America.

What is the purpose of this part of the tab? Is this to add strength/rigidity? Someone suggested it might be to bolt a wheel weight. As you can see from the picture the tab is rusted. Some even worst than this one. Can I just put a flat plate instead of that Z shaped one? I would use the same...

Not the answer I was hoping for but thanks.

I know the cover can't slide over the axle flange. I just thought it might be like a ford 9" rear end. You take the 4 bolts off and the axle and cap come of. Replace seal and re assemble.

Anyone? Somebody must have changed one of these before.

I'm not that overly concerned with matching as I'm painting the whole tractor and cab. I do want a color that is close but doesn't have to match perfectly. I'm just wondering if it's good paint that will last.
