True enough. Thank you both for your suggestions.

I've been enjoying my L275, but unfortunately when I'm done I notice a significant shortness of breath. The exhaust pipe comes up from the manifold, releasing the exhaust in front of me when I drive. I've seen pictures of L275's that had different routing of the exhaust. What are my options...

There is no temperature gauge on my L275DT. Looking online I see posts by people who claim that their temperature gauge is not working on their L275...maybe they have a later model or something. It's hard to imagine that there wouldn't be one by design. Regardless, I'd like one. Temperature...

Thanks, Wolfman. Your help is much appreciated.

I don't doubt that. Any recommendations? p.s. I'm frugal to a fault, as is evidenced by me having this Frankenstein of a tractor after a year of looking around. But hey...the price was pretty good....although I may be looking at a clutch job soon, so the bloom is off. It runs well, doesn't...

I suspected as much, but couldn't find pictures showing original orientation. While it'd be easy to move it to another position, I haven't figured out what that position would be, unless disassembly and reconfiguration of the valve body is an option.

Here's a picture of my control valve assembly. I have now switched the lines running to each valve so that pulling the levers back/down raises and curls/up the bucket and the opposite when pushing up/forward, which is what I'd expect and what I think is typical. You can see the longer spool...

Seems that way to me.

As old as the loader is now, all of the stickers are weathered beyond recognition. I don't even know what model it is. It has individual levers for lift and curl and not a single one that operates both functions.

On another note, the control levers coming off the back of the unit at around 45 degrees seem to be working in the opposite direction than I'd expect. I'm wondering if the hoses have been reversed. For bucket lift, I push the lever forward/up, to drop is backward/down. For bucket curl up, I...

I had no idea. Looks like I should get the manual for the loader; I wonder what else I don't know. This is my 1st tractor with a FEL. Is that for being able to scoop dirt at ground level without gouging when the wheels are on uneven terrain?

I gave the L275 its first good workout last night and things went pretty well. One problem that caused me some concern was that when pulling the lever to get the bucket to lower, I noticed it going very slow and then when it got to the ground had no force at all pushing down. I figured out...

The alternator on the tractor is what appears to be 15411-64011. The only number I'm guessing at is the last one, but it looks to be a "1". The parts manual I have shows the p/n to be 15411-64010. When I have the new belt around the fan and crank pulleys, and the alternator adjusted for the...

I contacted Napa before ordering the one from Messicks. It didn't show up in their system.

I ordered p/n 15411-97020, which is a replacement belt running the alternator and the radiator fan. I tried to install it last night, but it wouldn't fit, being too small. I've contacted Messick's and they verified that it was the correct belt. The alternator was fully adjusted in to allow...

LOL! Yeah, if it's still attached to a tree, I've got what's coming to me. I was thinking more about having the bucket loaded with logs/branches....

I had previously purchased the shop manual. I looked through the section on adjusting the clutch before posting and didn't see that covered. It covered adjusting the clutch itself as well as the pedal free play and the starter safety switch, but not the pedal stopper from what I saw.

The L275 I picked up had the hydraulic hoses replaced, and this is what they look like now. That doesn't look like an OEM quality job to me. I'd imagine they could get snagged by tree branches, etc. What's my easiest option for improving this? Thanks.

My L275DT has a clutch stopper that has an adjustable bolt to limit clutch pedal travel. How do I check it for proper adjustment? Right now with it down, I can change gears, but there is a little resistance to it. I'd like to make it as easy to shift as possible without having the stopper...

Sounds good. Thanks for the advice.
