Going back to my teens an working at our parks dept. i remember a L 245
I REALLY LIKED THAT TRACTOR. i did all the maintenance on it. id like to buy this tractor and fix it up.
1 are there still parts ?
2 is this a good deal ?
3 what size tiller can it handle? (15 hp pto)
4 what should ilook for on the L

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 sure it is working well.
These little 2cyl engines will crack the heads if the cooling system is not kept clean and working well.

My L175 is mostly used to move my boats around. It does pretty good with 8500lbs but gets a little light in the front at times.

I saw that one on ebay too. Wonder if it would sell for $2500?
