<font color=blue>Am I going to need to bleed the system.</font color=blue>
Probably not, but as has been stated, your Operator's Manual should tell you. It was not required on by '99 B2710 and since the L48 is a newer model, I doubt it's required on that either. However, my '95 B7100 manual did have instructions for bleeding it, and I had to do it twice in the time I had it. The first time was here in the shop building at the house when I got water in the fuel, and like Cowboydoc, I didn't have a tubing wrench (which is without a doubt the best wrench for the job), but I did have open end metric wrenches that fit. The second time was in a hayfield nearly 10 miles from home when it ran out of fuel (no fuel gauge and a neighbor was using it to pull a hayrake while I was doing the baling with his bigger tractor), and all I had was an adjustable (Crescent) wrench. It still didn't take 10 minutes and didn't damage anything.
