    L2950DT GST - Tranny Issues - How to remove side tranny cover

    I have a L2950DT GST with about 3700 hrs on it. Lately, we have had an issue with it not wanting to shift back into forward after reversing. For example, plowing a garden, reach the end of the row to turn around, need to make a three point turn, can;t shift back into Forward. I have...

    L2950 Tachometer

    I had to pull my fuel tank from my L2950. In doing so, I had to disconnect the tachometer cable. I just unscrewed the retaining nut and pulled the cable out. Problem is that on reassembly, I plugged the cable back in and screwed tightened the retaining nut just opposite of taking it apart...

    Fuel Storage

    I drive diesel trucks and have a dozer and backhoe as well as my L series. I have a 37 gallon transfer tank in the bed of my truck. If the equipment doesn't use it quick enough, it goes on the trucks and gets refilled. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    Everything you need to know about SHEAR BOLTS

    Keith, that was meant as a response to the other thread about buying a pack of 5 bolts and still having 4 on hand eliminates the need for them. It was meant as a joke... because I go through them frequently. I do think your information is very valuable and accurate. I know that in my case on...

    Everything you need to know about SHEAR BOLTS

    Not so sure about this. I buy grade 2 bolts about a dozen at the time from lowes. Keep several on the tractor for my rotary cutter and rarely go two consecutive weekends without having to replace one. But what was said about keeping the RPMs up is the key, they only bust when at a low RPMS and...

    Bead keeps pinching the Tube

    input, however I have to ask if you have ever worked with the tractor tires and a TR218 valve stem? To get these tractor tires on, once you start the bead back on the tire you have to drop it down to about the center of the rim to have the leeway to work the bead around. With TR218 stems. The...

    Brush loosened an oil plug my L2950

    It is much stronger than it looks. Mostly the pine sapplings and small sweet gum growth is what gave me the problem, no rocks. I made this plate out of what I had laying around. If it looks like it needs to be heavier, I will pull it and use it as a template to make another out of thicker...

    3 Point Hydraulics acting funny; L2950

    I pulled the top cover of the rear end to take a look at the hydraulic piston. I discovered that the main o-ring was in tact but well worn. The backup ring (The stiff plastic one that wraps around the piston twice) was missing quite a bit of material in that it only went about 2/3 the way...

    Brush loosened an oil plug my L2950

    I don't think I will have a problem with Brush knocking an oil plug loose again. Made this skid plate out of 14ga steel. The front is supported with the two rear (of the total 4) bolts that hold the axle swivel bracket to the frame. The rear is supported with 3/8 bolts in the loader sub frame...

    L3200 bush hog advise

    I do not have a L3200, but my L2950 is about the same HP ratings and size. I have a loader on mine and a 5' bush hog with it. I see no reason that you would not be able to mow that high grass at that speed with the 3200. We are using ours right now to help clear land. When we get away from...

    Trailer for L3800

    I rebuilt a 16' 7K trailer into a 25' 10K trailer for my L2950 with loader. I can put a boxblade and cultivator rake on the front and stack a landscape rake with it, then load the tractor with a 5' bush hog attached and not have anything hang off the trailer. I still have some room to place...

    Brush loosened an oil plug my L2950

    Well, it is all back together. New rod bearings, new piston rings, new intake, exhaust and head gaskets. After bleeding the fuel system of air, it fired right up and purrs like a kitten. It was getting dark about the time it fired so we let it run for about 15 - 20 minutes but it has not...
