    L2650 inconsistent "knock"

    Hmmm, while searching other threads, the topic of gas in the dsl arose. This past summer, I mistakenly dumped several gallons of gas into the nearly empty fuel tank. I realized my blunder before starting the tractor; I siphoned the contaminated fuel and filled the tank with dsl. It seemed to...

    L2650 inconsistent "knock"

    L2650 DT ~ 4000 hours. Intermittently, I've noticed what "sounds" like a mild rod or crank-bearing knock at idle-becoming more noticeable under moderate load. The oil level is and has been fine, however, I have lost track of the last time eng oil was changed. Also, I've noticed no additional...

    L2650 Fan Shaft Bearing

    Sorry Wolfman, I should have offered more details in my OP. The bearing failed in the middle of a project (they seldom fail just sitting, do they? lol) so I was looking for a quick fix. I found the assy online, however I prefer not to wait +/- a week for it to arrive. Upon a quick inspection...

    L2650 Fan Shaft Bearing

    I'm sure this has been asked before, however a quick search failed to net results. Has anyone replaced a failed new style fan shaft bearing? If so, could you share the bearing part number? Thx in advance, KT

    Front Snow Blade L2650

    Thx Wolfman- I'm a metal fabricator by trade thus I'm sure I can make it work. However, if the mods require too much time, I'm afraid the snow blade will end up in the scrap heap with dozens of other "I'll get to it one day" projects (lol). I sketched up some quick dimensions of the L2650 and...

    Front Snow Blade L2650

    Good day Gents... I stumbled across a fellow that has a front snow blade he believes came off a L175 tractor. It's a fairly long drive for me to put "eyes" on the blade and he isn't exactly the Shell answer man when it comes to answering questions. Could anyone plse share thoughts on if the...

    WIW ZD21 Parts Mower

    I have been doing a bit research and it seems many early ZD21/28 mowers had HST issues. That's proly why this parts tractor is stripped of the engine. Anyways, I think I'll zero in on the ZD3 series here out.

    WIW ZD21 Parts Mower

    I run a small business and often I offer what I believe is sound advice; some take my advice, some don't. No question your advice is sound...that said, I guess I'm a glutton for punishment as I bought the parts unit for $400. However, thx again for taking the time too reply. KT :)

    WIW ZD21 Parts Mower

    I'm located near St Louis MO and am looking at a very nice 2003 kubota ZD21 (standard deck) with ~1000 hours for $4750.00. I'm happy with the $4750 and most likely will buy it. However, he has an identical unit with ~1000 hours that is missing the engine assembly. (no seat, roll bar, radiator...
