    Fel question

    Thanks for the posts fella's, much appreciated....after I posted I though of asking that question about rpm's the only experience I have with diesels is with boats (volvos) which recommend 400 rpm below max rpm which generally worked out to around the 3400-3600. Is this the same with...

    Fel question

    I have a L3010 bought used with 1600 hrs, from the get go the fel would not lift at idle, but if I bring it to around 2000 rpm it seems to work fine. Is this the nature of the beast or is there a blockage or restriction. All filters and fluids had been changed after purchase. Thanks ahead

    no glow plug indicator light

    Got another one for you, couple of weeks ago my glow plug indicator light was dim when I turned the key on, stayed on for a few seconds went off like normal. I don't think the glow plugs are being activated, if they are its not much. Would this involve the relay? I'm thinking this has something...

    Angle Grinder for sharpening rotary mower

    Not real sure about brush hogs, but when I use to do a bit of sharpening, I made sure to balance the blade when I was done the rough sharpening (grinding out large nicks etc.) to ensure the blades were "balanced" to save problems with bearings later. Just a thought to keep in mind, if you have...

    no glow plug indicator light

    just checking to see what is the first place I should start, the glow plug indicator light on the dash does not come on when key is turned to first click. took panel off and checked bulb and it is fine, I don't think the glow plugs are working, tried leaving key on then checked plugs no heat.

    l3010 with 482fel won't lift front of tractor

    Hi again, the fluids and filters were all changed and I'm a bit ticked at myself for being so trusting, he advised me that regular maintence had been done and that the fluids had also just been changed. there was roughly 1600 hrs on the tractor and I would be surprized judging by the colour of...

    l3010 with 482fel won't lift front of tractor

    thanks for getting back so quickly gents, thats what I was thinking (hopeing) all it was, a ball bearing may have slipped out of place, the decal on the side says LA482 and the plate on the left side of fel says Model LA482 serial # 14720 the stamped plate on the control valve reads as...

    l3010 with 482fel won't lift front of tractor

    Well, I took the Husco control valve off to see if there was corrosion inside, which I thought may be part of my problem with the weak fel. I removed the up down side and checked the spring ,ball bearings etc. it appeared to have been done already by the prior owner. So I didn't (thank goodness)...
