What did you do on or to your LS Tractor today?

If you don’t go any deeper than the center of the front wheels, it should be OK. Any deeper than that, you will probably need to change the oil in the front axle.

Or baggy pajamas!

Just wired up an LED light bar to the ROPS with switches. A little sloppy but it'll work. Bright as can be and I can still fold down the rops and use them.

I haven't tried yet and probably won't. I walked through today, only about 2" deep, but the homeowner I was planning on trying to help protect against flooding doesn't really seem interested. Guy doesn't really seem to care about the house much at all, so I won't be risking my new machine.

Agree. Those not willing to help themselves garner no help from me either. As my Mom used to say: "Sis on you pister"!

How much water can I run this thing through? 6" ? 8"? I figure I'm good as long as I keep the exhaust above water? I may need to pass through a distance of about 30-40' in the morning.

6-8" shouldn't be an issue, go slow. As long as it's lower than the front driveshaft input, you'll be ok.

No trying to get through it now. Way too deep.

Question:

I have two small spots on the right side of the hood rubbed through to bare metal by the FEL hose covering. I've since tied the bundle to the FEL arm. Would the hood be considered a warranty issue? Should I even bother my dealer with it, or should I just touch it up on my own? I'm not big on appearance issues, but I don't want a metal cancer issue.

Yep, that was mine. Removed my XR4047HC grill guard, prior to modifying it, and got it scanned at S-W. Perfect match.



I upgraded to an XR4155HC and put the modified grill guard on the new tractor.

That's fine to paint an additional item, but there are rubs through the original finish on a less than six month old machine. And I ain't no vehicular finish type painter.

Ok, no problem. Just trying to help you.
