Yeah, I considered making my own, but would prefer to keep the original coler-coded wiring scheme to simplify troubleshooting in the future. Any suggestions as to what electrical connectors to use for such a project?

These are 6x14.

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...

I would go $120 for both tires and rims if you're interested.

I can't think of a better use for a loader. Congrats on the buck!

How did you attach it to the tractor in such a manner to preserve its water-tightness?

It looks VERY similar but has a different part number than the other models listed above.

Yep, occasionally that actually happens to me!

SOLVED - Re: PTO won't disengage It's been a while since the last post, but yesterday I finally got serious about determining the cause of this problem and had a hunch... Wondering if maybe the clutch pedal itself was out of adjustment, I located the technical information for adjusting the...

Replaced one glow plug and finally solved the problem with my clutch not disengaging the PTO. Turns out that the clutch pedal had too much free travel. Happy happy happy.

The WD was made from 1948 to 1953, and the WD45 years were 1953 to 1957 so yours likely was a WD which was almost identical except with a less powerful engine. Mine also has the wide front, and the power steering is an aftermarket (Char-Lynn) unit. You're right, they're a beast to steer with...

Thankfully my experience has not been like yours; it's actually been a quite reliable old piece of iron. Yes, it has its leaks and drips and the power steering isn't as good as a new tractor. I had to replace points and condenser once in the last 5 or 6 years or so that I've owned it, as well...

These are known compatible models, and there are probably more of which I am unaware. L235, L275, L2850, L2050, L2250, L2350, L2550, L3250, L3410, L3750, L4150, L4200, B1550, B2150.

How large should the "tab" be if I attempt to do this repair?

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...
