    New wiring harness

    The wiring harness on my L275 has deteriorated over the years, much of the deterioration most likely due to the fact the previous owner left it sit in a field for a year when it threw a rod. The plastic connectors are brittle and breaking and at this point I now have to start the tractor using...

    L275 (and others) tach drive assembly needed

    I need a tachometer drive assembly/housing (or whatever it's called) that bolts to the front of my L275's engine. It's where the tach cable connects. I know there are several different models that have compatible parts including (I think) the L235, L245 etc.... Anyone have a used one they'd...

    3-point height adjustment

    The 3-point arms on my L275 seem to hang too close to the ground, and as a result they won't lift my tiller or bushhog as high as they should. It becomes a problem when maneuvering over rough ground as the implements want to drag at times, even though fully raised. Is there a relatively easy...

    Pivot tires on a compact tractor

    I have noticed that it's easier to find pivot tires in 11.2x24 a lot cheaper than "tractor" tires in the same size. Would there be any problem doing so, as long as they have a standard V-shaped tread pattern and a high enough load rating? I know where I can get some for less than $160 each...

    Weeping water pump on L series

    My water pump is leaking from the weep hole on my tractor. It did not do so before it sat for 2 years (long story). Is there anything I can do to fix this myself without replacing the water pump?

    4x4 tire size question

    Due to having purchased a 4x4 donor tractor for parts, I am wanting to convert my L275 to an L275DT. The only problem is that the donor machine does not have good tires. Stock sizes are 11.2x24 - rear, 7x16 - front. I just happen to have a pair of decent 12.4x24's that I can mount but of...

    PTO won't disengage

    My L275 is finally up and running well, but my PTO won't disengage when the clutch pedal is depressed. I have the dual clutch option in this machine and when holding the pedal down it shifts gears with no problem but the PTO spins if engaged, regardless of how far I press the clutch pedal...

    Alternator output, light bulb limits

    How many amps does an alternator generate on an L275 or L235? I have devised a solution for installing H3 bulbs as headlight replacements, and according to a wattage calculator a pair of them should draw just over 9 amps total. Will this be too much drain on the system?

    She's alive!!!

    It's been a LONG road that has required a lot of patience, much sweat, frequent frustration and a chunk of cash but my L275 is FINALLY up and running! Some of you might possibly remember that I bought this tractor back in 2009 for $500 because it had a hole in the engine block...

    Governor springs, help!

    While attempting to time my L275 and reassemble the gear case, the 2 springs on the governor fork lever came off. These are the two springs in which one is inserted inside the other one. Do they both attach to the exact same slot on the fork lever? If I remember correctly they both attach to...

    L275, D1302-A engine timing problem

    Long story, bought this L275 some time ago with a hole in the block. It ran fine on 2 cylinders and we drove it up on the trailer, then drove it into the shed after getting it home. A year ago I finally found a donor tractor with a good block, and with a buddy helping me we split the tractors...

    Wrong tach cable?

    I recently purchased (mail order) a tach cable for my L275 which had a bad one. When it arrived I noticed that the end of the cable that connects to the sending unit has male threads, as does the sending unit itself. Did the wrong part get put in the package, or is there some sort of a...

    LED headlight replacements? L-series

    I've been thinking of replacing the stock headlights on my L275 with some aftermarket LED's and was wondering if anyone has found any that would be a drop-in replacement. One of my headlight lenses is broken so it would be a good time to do the conversion. Any ideas for some good, bright...

    Rewiring the L275

    The plastic wiring harness connectors are badly deteriorating and breaking on my L275. I want to rewire it, or at least replace the plastic connectors to make the electrical system more reliable. Rather than cutting the wires and using individual bullet or spade connectors, I would like to use...

    L275 engine issues

    So I finally found another L275 which was missing some parts (injector pump, injectors, lines, hydraulic pump, intake manifold, etc...) and I brought it home as a parts machine for mine which threw part of rod #1 through the block before I bought it. Supposedly the engine on this donor tractor...

    L275 conversion

    I just picked up a 4x4 L275 as a parts machine (need to do a engine swap) and am wondering if it's feasible to transplant all the 4wd hardware to my 2wd tractor. It's probably not a simple task, granted, but since I'll have the tractor torn down anyway would it be that much additional work to...

    Front wheel identification, L Series

    I recently located and purchased from a local guy a pair of 24" rear rims for my L275 (the donor is an unknown L-Series), and with them I also received the matching 6x14 front rims/tires, pictured below. Right now I have turf tires on the L275 and am wanting to swap out for lug tires but keep...

    Replacement seat deal

    Late last fall I think it was Service Department Vic (but am not sure) who posted a message about having a good deal on a great replacement seat for CUT's. Is that deal still available, and if so, what are the details?

    L275 & L235 engine blocks

    I don't recall which engine the L235 tractor uses, but was wondering if the block itself is interchangeable with an L275. Is the bore different, or just the stroke? I have found a used L235 block and misc parts for a good price and was hoping it was usable, but am sorta doubtful.
