This is my first summer with it, so I don't know it's history. My 3240 did the same thing when pulling the same heavy disc. Additionally the air filter is clean. I guess my normal is a little hot but not too hot? Firs

I have a l5740 that runs one bar past the middle whenever its under load or working. I have flushed the coolant and replaced with new green coolant 50/50 plus a coolant additive, used an air compressor to thoroughly clean radiator fins, then wash the radiator with water hose. I have also...

Dealer says this is the way it operates. Case closed.

Also I did mode a test. Everything checked out per manual. I'm beginning to think this is the way it is? I did notice a cruise control kit for a 3901 on you tube that has linkage between cruise control lever and pedal. I see no linkage on the 5740

Well I just swapped the cruise sensor and the pedal sensor because they are the same part number. The tractor operates the exact same......errr!

Where is this picture? I really can't tell it's one the cruise sensors but the pic it too close! Is

Just got around to replacing the speed sensor. So now I have a working speedometer. The cruise control still does engage like it should. So they were not related. Guess I'll start looking at the cruise sensor.....

For the cruise to engage I Rev rpms by hand then use the pedal to move fed. At that point I move cruise lever to the middle and mph holds, if I want to move faster I move the cruise lever farther down. I CANNOT set the cruise by using only the foot pedal . For whatever reason the hand throttle...

Update. Not 100% positive but the speedometer and cruise do not appear to be related. Upon inspection the speed sensor is broken off. I went through all of the obvious connections regarding the cruise sensors etc. When i engage the cruise lever the cruise light on the panel comes on. But...

Clearly everyone is being facetious and that's putting it nicely. I'll just retreat deep into the WSM and pretend I know how to read wiring diagrams.

Any thoughts on where to begin on a l5740 hydro cruise control that will not engage? Additionally the speedometer is not working but I don't think these 2 things are related?

If the valve doesn't shut off you can here it straining

Oh I see you already replaced.....oops

Most likely the switch is still good but has too much debri around the tiny little button that depresses. Take it off and clean good and it will start working again. I've done this on 2 different l series. It takes about 10 minutes to fix

Did you shorten or lengthen it? Is that all it took?
