First, sorry your machine is down. That this happened when mowing says to me that under heavy load the cooling system could not keep up. Besides the thermostat, the cleanliness of the radiator should be suspect (outside fins). The problem with #3 says to me that the only way to know what it...

This comment is minor compared to getting it up and working. Picture shows a solar AGM battery. What is needed is a "starting" battery. Starting batteries deliver high amps for a short period. AGM batteries have a different charging profile than lead acid batteries. The charging controllers...

First things to check: 1. Belt is properly tightened and running OK. Bearing on alternator turning smooth. 2. Battery has been checked. Load tested to make sure it does not have internal problem. 3. Slo-blo fuse pulled and ohm'ed for continuity. 4. Good ground from alternator case to battery...

The original was a Kokusan Denki GP9913. The company was bought by Mahle Electric. You may want to think about going the rebuild route. Is it gone or not working? What is it not doing?

Tony is right to question, the nylon cable ties do not hold up in Texas sunlight and ultraviolet.

Obvious will be the fuel and electrical questions to come. Past problem and present problem makes me curious about compression. Test compression on each cylinder. Besides rings, could be glow plug seal, injection nozzle seal, ... Was valve clearance measured such that it was not excessive...

You should order the washers and shields as separate items, and not re-use the old ones.

L3200 hood latch has a pull to the outside located on the left side of the tractor, under the front of the hood. Basically a wire with a loop for a finger to pull, and an L at the other end to shift the latch off of a pin. If you can't look at the parts diagram, I may be able to post a picture...

Well, the picture helps, somewhat. The AC compressor, according to the diagram, should be fed from a 3.0 metric Red with White stripe conductor. The conductor comes a 6-pin connector attached to the main engine harness. The conductor occupies pin 4. On the mating connector the conductor goes to...

One diagram showing the fuse box is page 9-M3 from the WorkShop Manual. There are some model differences. A diagram for the Air conditioning system is page 9-M17 from the WSM. That shows 3 different fuses for 3 subsystems of the air conditioning, such as controls, compressor, fan. If you can...

Yep, torque multiplier. Also adapter for socket size or buy new socket to match multiplier. Works to torque correct installation too, which is important. Additionally for repairs in field without power or air compressor.

And also a look at the blade edges, especially toward the tips. If replacing the blades, replace the blade hardware.

I suggest: with the tractor off and the three-point mower on the ground, open the shield on the top of the mower and find the universal joint after the PTO shaft. Between the mower gearbox and that universal joint, there should be a bolt head and matching nut visible. That is the shear bolt and...

Also tubing will have a minimum bend radius, usually expressed as tube diameters. Depends on tube material, wall thickness - look up from tables so that tube is not overstressed. Caution to never run hands or arms along a pressurized hydraulic part. If there is a leak, fluid can be injected...

Flaring angle is critical. Dan was being nice about it.

It's been known to happen; shut-off valves installed in the heater lines for summer use.

Not soldier, but silver brazing rods. Brazing is at a higher temperature. The percentage of silver will depend on your materials - I can't/won't answer that because I am not looking at your stuff. Price the rods before deciding which direction to take, silver is not cheap. The torch will be for...

A handy tool is an "automotive short circuit finder." Not very expensive. It injects a tracer tone into a circuit and has a receiver to follow the current path. The basis of good ideas of others above is that things need to be sensible, indicator lights or audible tones. Regular battery has...

"Have you tried the suggestions that I made earlier of unhooking the glow plugs and fuel solenoid one at a time and turning the key to see if your temporary circuit breaker heats up? You are asking for help but you don’t seem to be using the advice that people are giving you to help track down...

Have you looked at Loctite 545? Cures with metal contact and holds up to 10000 psi. Surfaces must be cleaned before application since metal ions are what cures it.
