    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...

    L2950 - Hydraulic Fluid Leaking fro Under Steering Wheel

    I noticed after working today that there is Hydraulic Fluid leaking down the steering column form under the steering wheel. What is the common failure here? It seems that I have read a thread on this before (maybe not this forum) but I could not find it. Why would there be fluid in the...

    I am shopping for new tires for my L2950 4wd tractor. the original R4 tires are size 420/70/24. We found a 6ply of this tire at $852 each and about $160 shipping. Several size conversion charts that I have seen show that for low pressure applications a 17.5x24 tire can be substituted. The...

    L2950 Hydraulics

    I think my hydraulic pump on my L2950 is weak. I am not sure if it is going bad weak, or it is just weak in general or has been turned down. I have only had the tractor a few months. A couple of weeks ago, I was using the bucket to move a 6ft set of Disc Harrows, and it barley picked them up...
