it looks easy to remove we will try this weekend: sealing it permanently with glue is not something we would do.

Yes we are going to replace it and never use it again!

The prospect of the broken drain bolt failing miles from the house and then not being able to move the tractor without ruining the water pump is just not acceptable when it looks to be a pretty easy fix. SIL says he can drill it out and pick out the remaining threads with a dental pick if the...

Can anyone weigh in as to whether the threaded piece on the radiator is plastic as well? I can’t tell from the parts diagram and it looks like if I screw that up it will need a new radiator?

In trying to change the coolant, the plastic drain plug at the bottom of the radiator broke off almost flush. What’s the easiest way to extract the broken off threaded plastic male part without messing up the threads on the female part attached to the radiator? Thanks!

It can be replaced with a generic gasket of same size

This is a big negative with the L2501DT and the entry level clutch. And Bush hogging is so much easier with the HST

This is an oft stated theory. We briefly had an L2501 and it was clearly a sub 25hp unit, quite underpowered for its size. Replaced it with an L3901 which is much more usable

Yes

We just had this done for $240 at the dealer Inc new blades and bolts, had a broken blade

Another good reason to do the oil changes yourself. Our oil blackens pretty fast in both units

We have to have the power and weight of a tractor over 25hp so DPF is a given. Never had an issue with them, we replace units at 2000 hours anyway just to not be in the repairs business

Used Squealer

5 foot maximum and that will challenge a low hp light tractor

Mowing Kudzu just makes it spread faster, have to spray it for several seasons
