Wow, pretty harsh words. I'm not going to argue about this. Just because they gave them to you does not mean that it was OK for them to do so, or had permission. They are not given to dealers in PDF format, they had to obtain them somewhere and save them in a PDF file for you. Distributing...

It's not the dealers' fault that LS does not sell service manuals. My dealer verified with LS corporate people that LS does not sell service manuals. There are some available online, but they come from a different company and do not come from LS, so LS knows nothing about them and can't...

On my XG3025, I took a 3" pvc pipe the same length as the width of the loader, and cut it in half lengthwise in the middle and left 6" on each end uncut to make a tray that slides inside the front crossmember tube on the loader. I fastened a hockey puck in each end of the pvc pipe to enclose...

A 3038 has electric pto switch that turns on a solenoid valve which turns on hydraulic oil pressure to the pto clutch. Electric over hydraulic some people would call it. There is a pto brake that is engaged when the pto clutch is disengaged so the pto shaft will not turn when it is turned off...

The light blinks yellow when the ESC switch is on in the middle (position 1 ready). It turns green and stops blinking when ESC is engaged and working after pushing resume (position 2) for 2 seconds and the engine will run at the preset speed. If running at preset speed, it can be over-ridden...

Do not lift the wheels off the ground. Use the stabilizers to support some of the weight but do NOT lift the wheels off the ground. The second decal is not correct. It should say to prevent damage to tractor DO NOT lift wheels off the ground. Page 14, first paragraph in the manual says do not...

There are injector tests that the dealer can do with the laptop computer service tool if they have it. All the larger dealers have it, some small dealers do not. There is also an air purge procedure that can be done with the service tool to force air from the fuel rail. The engine can run fine...

Crank sensor failing is pretty common. Part # 40511370. Easy fix and falls under 5 year emissions warranty.

We ordered one a couple years ago and it took a year to get it. I remember having to change the range shift lever or something so it wouldn't hit the seat. Someone else wanted one and we were told it was discontinued and no longer available, so I made one for them. Glad to hear it's available...

An XR4040 uses a Shibaura engine I think. Regen on Shibaura engines was every 4 hours and LS did not make anything related to the engine, so wherever Shibaura got the ECU for them is anyone's guess. LS quit using Shibaura because of the problems with them. You can get an ECU for an LS engine...

The only oil our LS dealer uses is 10W30 full synthetic and we can hit -25 in the winter. Synthetic oil flows better in the cold and holds up better in the heat than conventional oil so they have no problems with it and they have sold a couple thousand tractors. If you want to use a different...

Common rail fuel system controlled by ECM can only have emissions deleted if someone makes a delete kit for that engine that will fool the ECM into thinking that everything is good by sending false signals to the ECM, instead of the real signals from the sensors. (emulator) Otherwise, the ECM...

That's correct, a diesel can't run rich unless the air filter or intake is restricted, or a turbo failed on a turbocharged engine. Either way, it would cause lots of black smoke. The fuel injection system controls how much fuel it gets, and a common rail injection system with fuel delivery and...

There is no way that 2 hours is normal. There is probably something wrong with the DPF. The older models with Shibaura engines would regen every 4 hours, and now that the company that made EGR valves for LS tier 4 engines has stopped making them, the new stage 5 engines with Kamtech EGR valves...

There is nothing in the key switch to reduce voltage. 12 in, 12 out. I had the same problem when I would try to start, the dash lit up but starter clicked once and the dash lights all went out and lost all power. Cleaned battery terminals and found a loose connection where small wires connect...

It can be tricky sometimes. Don't remember if I used a 90 degree or 45 degree snap ring pliers and the tips have to be the right size for the holes in the snap ring. If the tips are too small, the snap ring will twist and not stay at the right angle. 0nce I had someone help me and push the...

No special tools. Remove the wheel and outer gear case cover, remove snap ring and pull gear case down off the spindle. Replace the seal and put the gear case back on, install snap ring and put gear case cover back on. Fill axle with oil and put wheel on.

If EGR and other things have been replaced, the DPF probably needs to be replaced. If it is taken apart and there are brown stains inside, it should be replaced. Coolant getting inside from a leaking EGR cooler will ruin the DPF.

Surprising to hear that the dealer had no knowledge of the service and technical bulletins. All that information is available on the dealer portal and it is dealer's responsibility to use all the resources available to them and stay informed about such things. Glad to hear they got it fixed...

The LS MGC1715 grass catcher is a 3 bag type that holds 15 cubic feet. The MGC1722 Pro is a big aluminum box type that holds 22 cubic feet but I heard it has been discontinued. You would have to check with your dealer.

The dealers have a service bulletin or tech bulletin about this issue and what changes have been made in the manufacturing process of the cylinders. It was issued in December 2023 about LL1100 loader cylinders made by Taesung. A couple people I know had this issue on their MT125 tractors and...

The loaders on MT1 series tractors were known to have some bad bucket cylinders that would allow oil to internally bypass the piston seals and cause the bucket to droop. There was a bad batch of cylinders that came from the factory that makes loaders for LS. They have now changed the...

I'm not aware of a diagram showing ground locations. A wiring schematic is hard to find also. Dealers don't get printed service manuals either, they can only get online service manuals on the LS dealer portal. These online schematics have very tiny print and are very hard to read. If you try...

You stated previously that you had dash lights going crazy and other weird electrical problems. This points to bad grounds. If you have already checked all the grounds on the machine, there could still be a bad ground internally in a harness. Several ground wires are spliced together...

GL5 is OK for front axles. The only harm it can do is in a synchronized transmission that has bronze or brass components in the synchros. The anti-wear additives in GL5 can damage those metals. An axle doesn't have those metals in it so it can't do any harm. After filling an axle that has...

If you mean the EGR cooler, you would have to disconnect it from the DPF and inspect the end of it. It should have dry black soot on it. If it is wet with coolant or has a shiny baked on varnish on it, coolant is leaking into the exhaust from it. It could be removed and pressure tested if in...

Just saw that you bought it Oct 2016 so ignore the warranty part of the previous post.

No these engines don't see many failures except EGR valves and crank sensors and maybe a water pump occasionally. A bad injector a couple times. Some regen issues, 3 EGR coolers and a couple injection pumps. Only internal issue I've seen was a camshaft gear that came loose. This info came...

6 year powertrain warranty would cover internal engine parts. 5 year emissions warranty would cover EGR cooler if that's what caused it. If you're past those and you have to pay for it, it should still be cheaper to repair the engine than replace it.

If all fuses are OK, check the wiring to the sending unit on the fuel tank. Sometimes wires get pulled apart or damaged. With the key switch on, try grounding the signal wire on the sending unit and the gauge should go to full. If it does, the sending unit is bad. If it doesn't, the gauge or...

Don't pull the head off yet. Never have seen an LS engine blow a head gasket yet, just like your dealer told you. The EGR coolers have been known to leak coolant into the engine and exhaust. This will cause some of the symptoms you have and eventually it will not do a successful regen. If...
