airbiscuit and PoTreeBoy, appreciate the ongoing guidance as I work on this. Will check voltage out at the key stop solenoid next time I’m working on it and bleed the lines at the injectors. Will give an update when I next get to it.

Just wanted to provide an update since I’ve messed with it a little bit over the last couple of days. I started by draining the old diesel and found that the fuel filter cup was cracked, so I had to get a replacement. I was able to pick that up today, install it, and get fresh fuel back in the...

Thanks, airbiscuit and Bee-Positive. I appreciate the help on where to drain the fuel and how to bleed the system afterward. I had skimmed across the bleeding procedure the other day when I looked through the WSM, but appreciate you pointing me back to the exact page. That helps a lot. I...

Thanks...hard to beat free, but as one of my economics professors always said, there's no such thing as a free lunch. I’m planning to try and prove the engine will at least fire before I get too deep into it, but I agree I probably shouldn’t let it run much on two-year-old fuel. If I can get...

That’s definitely at the top of my list for the next thing to try. I’d like to get it running and make sure the major systems seem healthy before I spend too much time chasing the safety-switch wiring.

Hey everyone. I’ve been reading through the forum because I have an opportunity to pick up an L3130 HST and wanted to get some opinions from people more familiar with these tractors. A good friend of mine runs an ag business and has an L3130 that he’s owned for roughly 7–8 years. It currently...
