L170 is back up and running good. I have some info for you guys that may need to rebuilt your L170. The ring end gap was an average of .098. That explained the oil and smoke problems I was having. It should be .020 to .025. I had head rebuilt. Some cylinder honing. Cylinder Bore Size 4.016. New...
Got the L170 running! All fluids changed, greased, hoses and belt replaced, radiator fixed and ready for some paint.
Thanks to a fellow at Tractor Parts in Apple Valley CA. Ron was the only guy in the US that had info on the L170.
Thanks Ron
Help! I'm the proud owner of a L170. It's a one cylinder diesel 784cc. I just got her home last night. Hasn't been run in 12 years. Need info on it, starting procedures manuals, etc. Engine is a E800-3501.
