Same add is on Nashville, TN Craigslist. Lists Brentwood, Tn as location but the number is out of Colorado... SCAM

The grease in the steering box looks like the hi-temp lithium grease that folks around here in Tennessee use for everything, from wheel bearings to u-joints. So I gave it five shots out of my hand pump and mowed up the leaves and wild onions in the yard and then gave it two more shots. About...

I got 1/4 inch fuel line and worm gear clamps. The hose is a little big but it was the best I could do. Tightened the clamps down and so far no leaks. Thanks OTT!

A happy New Year to you all at OTT!

Thanks for the answers. I'll put new lines and some spring clamps on it tomorrow.

What resistance should the glow plugs read? I've got a L175, each plug reads 1.9 ohms with a digital meter. The indicator starts to glow after about 8 to 10 seconds (at 40 degrees F). All I've ever read is that the plugs should read less than 5 ohms.

I got a L175 a couple of months ago, did regular maintenance, oil, filters etc. Drained the old fuel out of the tank and filled it. Went out today to run it and saw fuel all over the right side of the engine. Looked like it was coming from the injectors but on closer inspection; I found there...

Hi all I've run across something unusual and I thought I would ask if anybody has seen it before. I bought a L175 a few weeks ago and have done some of the maintenance on it, engine oil and filter, air filter, fuel filter, etc, this forum has made all this easier, thanks. Today I took a look at...

Thanks for the info. I have decided to drain and refill and clean the suction screen (when I find it). Haven't decided what oil I will use yet. I don't have a front end loader, just a finish mower behind it.

Hello orangetractortalks and thanks for a great site. I bought a L175 a few weeks ago. I've done (I think) the standard maintenance on it, air filter, engine oil and filter, fuel filter and lines, grease, etc. Been saving the transmission for last. I pulled the level check plug and the trans...
