Could be anything in the pto driveline , from something failing at the rear -- all the way to the engine coupler At this point pulling the pto housing would be the first step Pictures of the carnage for the forum would be helpful , in case someone has this same problem

Fuel tank problem -- get a new cap , the air vent is plugged Black smoke -- check that air filter (plugged) and intake pipe for rodent nest

No , no your not also not correct on short term gasoline contamination

Nice story Bro , but the gasoline (if that really was in there ) was not the primary cause of the pump failure -- that pump was about to fail anyways. The engine would have ran really bad with gasoline in the tank -- enough to cause damage anyway in the short trip back to the shop. Yes , with a...

Check also the linkage on the side of the HST , the lever clamps onto the control shaft and may be loose ,, allowing the HST to over travel when you first push the pedal

Your Shop got taken for a ride Gasoline in the tank , in the short term you describe will not cause a parts failure The "fix" should have been to drain the fuel and flush the lines DEF in the fuel , on the other hand will usually require a complete fuel system -- short term exposure , can get...

Post a video to youtube , then post the link here I am not familiar with a L2501 , but as you describe the symptoms , sounds like a timing problem rather than fuel . Really would depend on the type of emission system used on that engine

Put your hand on the smaller of the 2 lines leading into the evaporator box -- is it hot when the pressure has "spiked" ? -- if so , then the condenser and / or radiator are plugged with dirt -- the pressure line should only be a few degrees over ambient air temperature -- if heat is not the...

Pretty high turn over rate -- wonder if it is over the OP's tractor

Rear tire air pressure will change with the amount of load on the 3pt hitch -- find the range for your empty and loaded situation. Drive onto concrete with no load on the rear of the tractor -- stop with a tire lug down -- adjust the air pressure so there is a gap at the outside of the tire lug...

Target temp to even start regeneration is 1100 F Most of the operation of these small tractors will not generate that kind of heat The reformer is adding fuel in front of the DPF to cause that heat during a regen in "normal" operation the exhaust temp would be lucky to hit 800 F Short run...

Always thought "reformer" was an odd word to use for that device -- basically a fan and fuel injector to build a fire in front of the DPF -- to make enough heat to burn the soot out . The old DPF can be cleaned with reverse air -- maybe enough to salvage the unit and do a regen on the tractor ...

The problem started with piddling around with the tractor and not loading the engine -- then ignoring the regen requests from the tractor Once the system gets to level 5 , the dealer has todo a parked regen , and reset the derate counter . Prior to level 5 , the customer can do the regen...

That is a mechanical injection on that engine -- do not need the control module to run the engine It will try to cut power to the fuel shut off solenoid , but that is also not a problem When those first came thru the shop , the guys were like "better get one of these (if you want a small...

Light loads and turning the engine off before it is fully heated is a big problem on these small engines . The DPF needs heat to work , and usually on the small tractors this does not happen often enough . The system on the 3350 was a cluster from the start , just to be in compliance . The...
