I somehow lost my key (maybe under all the snow?!?), but I'd love to find a way to get my L2900 started. Any suggestions? I can't seem to find a WSM for it, found for many other models..not sure what else might be comparable... or how to find a new ignition switch...also I've never been able...

Still have your bucket on? You can get 50-60lbs bags of sand from Home Depot/Lowes for about $5. So that's ~300lbs for ~$30. Sorry can't help on the serial number.

Hi, a friend had a woods ss-60 snowblower that he is going to sell to me if I get it working again, but it has a problem I cannot seem to resolve. He said it worked great....before the gearbox died and he replace it. He didn't fully assembled it and run it since then. I finished the assembly...

GOT it. I cut the exposed wire off the ground and positive cable and stripped a new part of the wire and used new terminals. After charging the battery she turned over. I can see the wires are still corroded even though I exposed new parts of the wire. Winter is coming and I'd rather not...

I know the wires work; they are a bit corroded so I'm feeling like they aren't getting sufficient current through. There is voltage across at the fuse block<->chassis. I have power at they key switch *sometimes* though only if the tractor sits a while and once I turn the key then the power...

So I took the cables in to Lowe's to replace them, but they didn't really have a cable matching the gauge of the cable and the strands. I think the cable I had is a 2/0 stranded with 16 or 18 gauge, but the wire at Lowe's was stranded with 12 or 14 gauge. I didn't know how well that would...

I have a L2900 with around 1,000 hours. If the tractor has sat for a while, the lights will work. When I turn the key to start the tractor I hear nothing, but the lights will stop working (on the dash and the running/hazards). I do not hear the starter piston(?) pushing the gear out or the...

The ground/negative is through the chassis. I used a good set of jumpers to help ensure things were grounded/powered properly with no change in results when trying to start it.

The voltage is the proper voltage across the ground and the hot for the starter when I try to start it.

Would be a good idea if it were old, but I had battery problems last month and currently have a new battery and new terminals.

I'm having problems with my L2900 tractor. It seems like the starter doesn't engage the flywheel. Last week when I tried to start the tractor it sounded like it was starting for about a second (usually takes 2-3 seconds to start), then just started clicking. After that I doesn't do anything...
