L2501 Turbo: A Journey Defined - The tractor, The comparison, The modification, The results...

Indeed it does! The factory pump provides more than enough fuel for the Turbo Kit.

However, OEM components do fail, especially on older/high hour tractors. One of our customers has had to replace his faulty lift pump on an L3240 tractor. Definitely something to keep in mind.

^^^^^
One hundred hours is nothing for one of these tractors.

Must be for the lift pump !

I'm confused. Have you seen many lift pump failures at 100 hrs?

We have a lot of S2T Turbocharged L2501 tractors with well over 100 hrs and zero problems.

it was the issue i had changed fuel cleaned tank and new fuel filter. the amount of difference between the old pump and new pump by just pushing plunger was alot...ive read where these are prone to fail causing sputtering and loss of power...ive had a bx and a b now a l so my first experience with a l ...i just thought you guys modifying these might have came across a bad one or one that would not provide enough fuel..
when it fails it will not get enough fuel to be able to the bleeder to get air out.

The OEM pump isn’t exactly a high flow unit, but it doesn’t take a lot of diesel to make 40hp.
