    What passage or part of the block is behind this casting hole???

    What is included in a "works kit"? I am waiting for some prices on parts that I need to build it back but one dealer told me "each part had to be priced separately" after I asked if there were any kits available for piston and liners.:confused::confused::confused:

    What passage or part of the block is behind this casting hole???

    I believe 1976. I think there are only four years of production on this model. Yes it is a true wet liner.

    L175 input shaft bearing?????

    Ok my engine is out and apart and I noticed that the input bearing sounds like it is dry and has a light grinding/scraping noise when I turn the shaft. It is not a hard grind or crunchy. Is this normal? Here is the big question I have. Since my manual is some aftermarket thing that doesn't tell...

    What passage or part of the block is behind this casting hole???

    I found this rusty trail at the bottom of the liner on the rear cylinder so I believe water was getting in the oil there but I wonder about the casting hole too. A head, sleeve and piston kit with rings, bearings and gaskets will make this thing like new but I have some work to do and the...

    What passage or part of the block is behind this casting hole???

    Once I opened the lower end up I found this casting hole:eek::eek: What is it and where could it go? Could coolant leak out of this area. It is directly below the pump housing casting area on the right side, front cylinder. I know the crack in the head was letting coolant into the chambers so...

    L175 good deal?

    With those turf tires the tiller would have to be 5' which is really pushing the limits. With AG tires a 4' tiller will work well since that is what the tractor is rated for. Parts are available. I am fixing one now. Coolant system is a siphon/perk type so clean and clear is required to make...

    Will a D905 engine swap out with a Z750 in an L175?

    I found a D905 3 cyl engine for sale at a great price and wondered if I could swap it out with my 2 cyl Z750 in this L175. Of course it would be longer but that part is not a problem for me to modify one steering rod and the hood. What about the rest of the stuff? Will it bolt up to my tractor...

    Newbie with L175, cooling sys modification?

    Yes. I never had to use the glow plugs to start this tractor until one day water showed up in the oil and combustion chambers. It obviously overheated but the screamer never sounded and there is no temp guage to monitor engine heat. When I pulled the lower rad hose off nothing came out and the...

    Newbie with L175, cooling sys modification?

    Well I posted this in the tractor operating section and realized that it belongs here instead so................ I was thinking to modify my radiator to aluminum. Has anyone done this to a siphon cooling system? It would disapate heat better than copper or bronze and my thought was to make this...
