^^^^ Agreed. Before giving up completely, I'd see what you might be able to get selling it privately. When I sold my B2601, I recovered all my costs (minus sales tax). And had I not honored the original deal I made with the gentleman that purchased it and sold it to the next guy right behind...

^^^^ Yep, moving snow in an open station isn’t fun but can be done. I do it every winter and do my best to avoid the misery whenever possible. If it’s in the OP’s budget, and it’ll fit in the garage, I’d recommend getting a cab. The LX appears to be a great choice but, without knowing more...

^^^^ LOL!!! There’s a lot of exclusions listed… I’ll still be here in 6 years when your precious limited powertrain warranty has expired and also, when my voided limited powertrain warranty was set to expire. My best guess is…that neither of us will have needed it. That’s the simple fact...

^^^^ If you say so. I remember reading a TON of exclusions. But, I'm also a guy that doesn't have KTAC. Mike

^^^^ Not on your Basic Warranty (2 years). Powertrain, sure....and have you read the exclusions on your limited powertrain warranty? Mike

Hyperbole? Nah. Personally, I think a 3 hour installation for up to a 45% increase in power from a Turbo Kit is definitely worth "most" folks time. Especially, for those guys operating in the high elevations where their tractor performance is suffering and need forced induction to...

^^^^ Except, you don’t need the machine shop, the Turbo Kit is a 100% bolt-on affair with simple hand tools and about 3 hours of your time….and the L2501 with the Turbo Kit is $2K cheaper than the L3901 and $4K cheaper than the L3902. It’s just not a bad option if you’re not opposed to...

I’m not sure about that but, any mere mortal can get the Turbo Kit for the L2501. It’s available to any gear-head minded L2501 tractor owners. ;) Mike

I don’t know the size you’ll need and what style fitting will work for your application, however, here is where you’ll find what you’re looking for; https://www.mcmaster.com/products/barbed-pipe-fittings?s=plastic+barbed+pipe+fittings/ Mike

Since that’s the case, I think you should buy the L2501 and get the Turbo kit (44HP/35PTO). Then, after you get bored with that….MX time! ;) Mike

The fitting we’re using for the engine block is an off-the-shelf nylon fitting that we custom machine to press-fit into the block. I had developed a quick-release AN oil drain fitting setup for the engine block that was amazing but, I couldn’t get it to stop leaking oil. So, I had to go back...

A standard AN fitting should be fine. However, once you get the tractor started, check and make sure you have a steady stream of oil from the turbocharger when the tractor is running. Mike

You're very welcome. It becomes easy to get confused once you begin looking at alternative Turbochargers and/or alternative brand Turbochargers and applications. They're not all the same. I can point out several other very obvious identifying features on the MHI TD025 (including the Kubota...

Yes, you are mistaken. Every inch of our L2501 Turbo system has been thoroughly researched and engineered to the fullest. I'm very familiar with Turbocharger 'clocking' and it isn't required for this application. The Turbocharger oil inlet is the threaded portion of the Turbocharger cartridge...

Well, with the L2501, adding power, isn’t a problem. My L2501 is punching far above its weight class! Mike

Nice! You'll be following my upgrade path. You'll really enjoy the L2501 / L2502. Great tractor! Mike

When I was looking to upgrade from the B2601 to something larger, my dealer flat-out refused to sell me an LX sized tractor. They stated Standard L or larger to gain more capacity and productivity for my property and needs. Just something to consider. The L3902 will be a significant upgrade...

^^^^ That indeed appears to be BSPT!!! I completely understand your frustration....and trust me, I feel it. When I transitioned from the brass fittings to AN fittings, I miscalculated the positioning and orientation of several components around the engine and engine bay leading to needless...

Did you measure the threads on your oil pressure sender? That’s the best way to go. We have several L2501 Turbo Kit installations and all have used the 1/8 NPT without issue. Mike

Yes. Just a small application of Permatex 59235 on the 1/8 NPT and 10mm x 1.25 fittings. Mike
