^^^^^ Or to store some chain. (y)

My thought as well. The weld itself is intact. (welding metal being many times stonger than the base metal). Inferior base metal pulled away from the loader arm. I would agree with others that insuffcient penetration of the weld plays a part in the failure. But I would wager (already poor...

If you plan to use a Landscape Rake primarily to collect/move rocks, you might consider one that has reinforced tines.

Common problem with 'some' Cat 1 implements. Just 'flip' the pins inward as already suggested above.

I would tend to agree with the above. It is essential to establish proper backlash and preload FIRST. That way you know you have acceptable pinion depth. In some cases (especially with worn/used) gears it simply isn't possible to get that 'perfect' gear pattern. Personally, I want to see the...

My 'guess' would be that someone without the authority to shoot that through (against policy), did just that...and once discovered, it was corrected.

^^^^^ Has always been my experience as well. 5-7 days typically, regardless anything said to the contrary. So....best to figure on that and not make transactions based on those funds being available before then.

Even if the OP's tractor issue isn't solved, the discussion is worthwhile (IMO) simply for Posterity's Sake. There are a good many L2350's out there (aging more each day) and this same issue might arise for someone else in the future. Heck, might even happen to mine. ;)

Definitely a spur gear tooth. From whence it came, who knows.

Break in the wiring from indicator to glow plugs or dead short along the way would be my guess. If it were me I would work my way from the glow plugs backwards. A simple test light would be the easiest thing to use (probe the wiring). Find out where there ceases to be voltage. Just need...

That was my conclusion as well and the reason I mentioned it, so it might be used as a diagnostic tool for the OP to determine IF power was making it at least that far in the circuit.

On my tractor the key switch operates as such. 1. Off position is straight up (no dash lights, no activation of anything). 2. First position to the right (clockwise): The dash lights (Oil and Charge) light up and power is available to every circuit connected to that key position. 3. Second...

My L2350DT has two lights on the dash that indicate the glow plugs are preheating AND a GP indicator ( a spiral resistive wire) that will glow red (hot) if the key is held in lefthand position long enough.

GP indicator on mine (same tractor) will visibly heat up (red) in low light in about 20 seconds.

Look to see if your glow plug 'indicator' gets red hot when you hold the key to the left for 30-45 seconds. No relay in that circuit that I can see. Power goes through the indicator to the glow plugs.
