Finally got back to my L175 with bolts in hand only to find out the missing bolts (3) were fine thread. Went to the local hardware emporium, but all they had were coarse. Decided to drill out the holes and tap for 5/8" standard instead.
All three rattled out, none sheared.
Also can someone tell me what that open tube is under the glow plugs?
Nothing in the manual that I could see.

I Grabbed a flashlight and went to look at mine, then looked at the parts manual. The open tube is a breather that points down on my tractor. The parts manual has a longer piece that looks like it should be about 8-10" that extends the length.

Like I said, mine looks like yours; except it is a lot dirtier and it points toward the ground.
