L170 is back up and running good. I have some info for you guys that may need to rebuilt your L170. The ring end gap was an average of .098. That explained the oil and smoke problems I was having. It should be .020 to .025. I had head rebuilt. Some cylinder honing. Cylinder Bore Size 4.016. New...

The L170 is a nice tractor but my tractor is inop at this time, blown head gasket. The head is off and piston is out,will update at a later time.

Got the L170 running! All fluids changed, greased, hoses and belt replaced, radiator fixed and ready for some paint. Thanks to a fellow at Tractor Parts in Apple Valley CA. Ron was the only guy in the US that had info on the L170. Thanks Ron

More pix of L170.

I just started to work on my L170. I have called all over the USA and no one's seen a L170. Take a look at pix!!

Help! I'm the proud owner of a L170. It's a one cylinder diesel 784cc. I just got her home last night. Hasn't been run in 12 years. Need info on it, starting procedures manuals, etc. Engine is a E800-3501.
