    4.00-9 front tractor equivalent

    Thank you for the response. Do you know for certain the above wheel options will fit the Grey Market L2000? I'm ready to buy the wheels and tires but cant get to the farm anytime soon to get measurements and will be buying "blind" so to speak.

    4.00-9 front tractor equivalent

    Right these would be for the L2000. Be great to find 3 rib fronts instead of imolement tires. I'd like to know what if any option i had. Even if it was moving to new wheel and tire size

    Tractor stalled and now will not start - any ideas

    I have a 2018 or so L2501. Had something similar. It would run fine then stall due to fuel starving. I knew I was running dangerously low on diesel in the tank. I undid the fuel filter depressed "float flow" control with my finger, black gunk was hung up and eventually flowed out. Guessing...

    L2000 diesel tank question

    So elementary question, do I unscrew at the "T" of the brass peacock or is it elsewhere. I haven't really taken the time to analyze exactly how it is set up. Does the whole fitting take a wrench to get it off. Ill be at the farm this weekend to figure it out on site.

    L2000 diesel tank question

    I noticed I lost a lot of diesel when I returned to the old L2000. The drain cock to the diesel tank is giving up the ghost. I consider myself mechanically inclined and can handle most repairs. I also know these parts are hard to come by. Before tinkering with it i thought id check in with...

    Hey there all. I just recently picked up an older Bush Hog rear blade. Model 1113. It has the usual left right angle as well as tilt. The pivot joints look like gear teeth. The left right joint works fine. The tilt seems to be frozen. the attached pic is of a similar model not mine. Mine...

    Grey Market L2000 - Mechanics special

    Older model L2000 for sale. Based on serial numbers I am guessing 1972 - 1978. This would be a project tractor or parts. I am not a tractor guy and will list the good and the bad. Ran fine until a friend used it. He couldn't get it restarted. I think he turned off the drain cock to the...

    L4701 4 Wheel Drive not engaging

    This tractor is the manual transmission. You're right it takes a minute to rub off the dust and get Hamurabi's tablet out to figure out what the pictures mean. :cool: Down= 4 WD engaged. I'll try the options listed with the gears as well as turning the tires.

    L4701 4 Wheel Drive not engaging

    All -You have helped me in the past and hoping you can again. I have a 2016/17 Model L4701 4x4 that has 350 hours on it. It is in 2 wheel drive now. I push down to engage the 4 wheel drive - the lever goes down but I cannot detect the 4 wheel drive engages. I noticed the lever (at the point...

    3rd Function not working - L2501

    Update on the situation. I have learned a few things. First a lot of people have an on off switch for their 3rd function. Second 3rd function has a hot wire that has a fuse and lastly located my fuse box. I checked the fuse box the other day and everything looked in order. No fuses blown...

    MX 5200 stalling out

    My L2501 went through that same situation not long ago. Ran the fuel tank to less than a quarter tank. Then sratered to stall out. I unscrewed the water separator and let the diesel run out. I had black gunk come through the line. This was all done on the first heavy work out from sitting...

    3rd Function not working - L2501

    I was wondering that and was the first place I went to look. Unfortunately for as long as I have had the tractor I never had a need to locate the fuse box. I looked everywhere for it except the 1 spot where it actually was. I believe I just found it this morning when I had a chance to...
