Well that’s one I don’t recall hearing about before! Do you know how he figured that out?

May need to lubricate the linkages and rotation points —> when cold they are stiff, when hotter they are more pliable and lubricated better??

You might need to use a “putty knife” to get the clods of grease off. I would use a plastic one first to avoid scratching the paint.

Sounds like you need to have the injector pump tested and probably rebuilt. There are probably some shims between the pump and engine block. Keep track of them ALL and replace them when reinstalling the pump, if you get that done.

Look at the linkages that connect the joystick to the valves to make sure they are actually moving the spool valves correctly.

I “think” he means that coolant was added to the overflow reservoir not directly to the radiator opening, but who knows exactly but his friend.

It will NOT start with the release open. Steps to start would be something like pull release knob, preheat glow plugs, turn switch to crank position, let engine spin up to speed and push knob in (holding key in start position). The inertia of the engine should help it spin faster and start...

I don’t think the model number will make any difference. Have you tried any of the suggested trouble shooting suggestions you’ve gotten? They can help eliminate causes of the problem. Please tell us what you have done (what suggestions you took) besides replacing the other battery and moving...

Should be all one sump with two fill locations. The FEL valve should have been first in line of the valving and then the power beyond from FEL goes to next valve or back to the tractor block. If the valve for the FEL was removed you will have to restore that flow pattern somehow, that may be...

If you need the whistle Here is one source but they may not really have any. You can contact @Mountainman to see if he has a used one

The steam whistle is connected to the tube out of the radiator neck in case you can’t locate it, just follow the hose. I believe they are still available from dealer. And they are loud enough to be heard but the engine is HOT.

Okay you seem to be saying different things in different posts or making confusing statements = either the tank is full or you are supplying fuel from some other source. I can’t tell which is the current situation. Perhaps post a picture of what the fuel is in and how it is being supplied to...

The three point has no down pressure available, only gravity pulls things down. Lower the three point lever to the lowest position. The mower arms may need to be pulled down by hand or some mechanical force applied to get them to lower.

It looks like the tips of the gear teeth are worn down (gear on the shaft you are moving) or the location of the bearing is incorrect on that shaft. You can measure the gear outer diameter and ask your dealer if they can tell you what that diameter should be. Of course you could remove that...

Food forests are part of the permaculture world that a lot of people have implemented in their “homestead”. See this link (if you are interested) for one person’s experience and “inventing” the permaculture movement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holzer_Permaculture

There are many different types of vent plugs and some are more weatherproof than others. You could try to change it to something like this (shown below) that is the correct size or just put a plastic or metal shield over yours when it is sitting around (think butter tub or bucket whatever fits...

I think what @North Idaho Wolfman is calling a valve is some sort of diverter ball valve and the far side may be the handle end, with the nut and “spacers” that are in the forefront are on the stem of the valve. So the thick block can act as the diverter block for power take off and power...

Clean the radiator externally very well. I think there is a screen in front of the radiator and if so clean it off. You just don’t want to overheat these engines or you will get a cracked head. Figure out what type of temperature warning system is on the tractor and make sure it is working...

I don’t know what is going on with that block either. The female connection may be just a tank return. On my L185 that same cover has a port on the opposite side of the cover that is just an opening into the transmission. That is the hose with the 45 degree fittings. @TheOldHokie made the...
