My neighbor has an L2350. It is low hour (883), and it above average shape. He and his wife bought it recently, and are getting acquainted with the tractor.
When the tractor is shifted into 4WD, the driveline tightens up within moving a foot or two. You can feel it- it won't free roll. Lift the front wheels off of the ground with the loader, and it frees up. If you don't, it won't shift out of 4WD- it builds up driveline tension that fast.
The tires on it are new, and I suspected that they weren't the right size. The front's are 7-16's, and the rears are 11.2-24's. According to numerous sources, they should be 6-14's and 9.5-24's.
Can anyone confirm that, is the first question. Second, for those who are versed in the correct front to rear ratio, is it possible to change just the fronts or rears to a different size and restore the correct ratio? Otherwise, the neighbors would need some 14" front rims and 4 new tires.
Any input is appreciated!
