+++++++++++++ Hi Boudra, OK so here is how you should proceed going forward, (and something for you and others to consider in the future). First thing when dealing with a fuel issue, (regardless of equipment type or color), start at the tank, does it have fuel, (you ran out), refill, (you...

Hi Mark, First Thanks for the reply/response/suggestion, much appreciated. Yes I am aware of just how long a bung/plug I would need to replace a freeze plug, but since I will be fabricating the bunk/plug anyway the length is not an issue, it just has to fit tight enough to stay put, but not...

Hey Folks, Well I got my cable yesterday, and YEAH it will work, perfect replacement, so now I will have a tach again, :) Cheers Samantha

Hi Dave, Yeah I think that is how I will go. I have a few ideas where I might just stick with the idiot light, but would just prefer being able to monitor just what is going into the battery rather than OK it's charging. The new alternator I just got is just a 1 wire, so my options are limited...

Hi Oil Pan, I just started the same project, already ripped out the old harness and will make my own. Where did you get your amp gauge, did you upgrade the bulb sockets, do you have any pics of your progress/finished handy work? I have an idea of what I want to do, but am open to suggestions...

ROFLMAO What message would the holster for a 30-30 Winchester like they had on horses fastened along the side of my hood send? Paul used to tell people I have plenty of guns, but it is my wife you have to worry about, :) Cheers Samantha

Russell, I have the parts manual for the 175 and it shows regular set of half round shoes with a round drum. Worse case I will just have to yank the worst side off and have a look see, just hoping someone can save me the hassle up front, would be nice to be able to order in the right parts and...

Have a look at the oil return filter located in the very bottom of the tranny case, it is most likely plugged, or like mine was a couple years ago, sucked completely in, (should be like 6 inches long), and or the bottom of the case is pack full of gunk, and not allowing the oil to flow. If you...

Diesel, Thanks tons, I seriously need all the help I can get. I'm not gonna cry all over this thread like have on another one, but trust me, I need some help here. Cheers Samantha

Wolfman, I haven't gone thru the entire site to see all the posts Paul made and the replies, but did you basically know him on here? You sound allot like him, :) Sighs, I think you are correct here but to be honest, I'm scared to death to try drilling a hole in the block or the head, I can...

Paul, the original South 40 is no longer with us. I'm Samantha his twin sister and I will be using this acct to help me now, :)

Hi Dieseldonato, The L1500DT is a grey market import, but share almost all parts with the L175 US version, of course the l175 did not come in a DT (4 wheel drive) configuration. My buddy said the glued assembly has to be super heated to release the old shoes, and then reheated to set the new...

Hey Folks, Starting a new thread for the brakes on my l1500dt. Can anyone tell me if the shoes are riveted on or glued? If they are riveted on then I have my problem solved, glued he said a 50/50 shot that we can do it and make it work. knowing up front how they are attached and any other...

Hey Folks, Well I was just looking in the parts manual, and it dawned on me that I have not taken a really close look at the water passage on the front of the engine or to see if I could tap a hole in the side of the top where the hose goes up there, but since the hole is straight down, maybe I...

GreensvilleJay Hi Flint, That is interesting, I just wonder how well something like that would actually work? Will research it a bit, Thanks GreensvilleJay, yes there is a plug down there for a drain, but I want to do something with it so I can reach it and drain everything when needed, the...

Hey Folks, Some good suggestions here Thanks. But D2Cat, I am a natural blonde, and for me to be my thermostat while using the tractor??????????????? LOL, seriously, there is no way that is going to happen, it's exactly why I want to "Blonde PROOF IT". Dieseldonato, yeah I know with enough...

Hey 85Hokie & Wolfman, 85Hokie. No it doesn't have a pump, and I have seen pictures of someone putting something in the water hose for the temp sensor, but I do NOT have room for that anywhere trust me, both hoses are like maybe 8-10 inches long with a sharp 90 right in the middle, but I will...

Thanks for the quick response. The cable was cut right before where it goes inside the engine, so a replacement was required, sighs... I just found and ordered one from Southern Global in MS, pricey but at least now I have one on the way, I just hope and pray it actually fits and works...

Hey Wolfman, Is the 1500/175 supposed to have a spot on the head? ROFLMAO I barely have room next to the PS steering Pulley for the hose, let along a sending unit. I have like 1/4 inch clearance for the cooling hose and the air intake hose. I do have a new aluminum radiator though, and a...
