How does this scanner differ from a standard automotive OBD-II scanner? I have one that was pretty fancy when new in 2000, and I'm about to buy a much fancier (pro-mechanic-style) automotive OBD-II scanner for $500-ish. It would be great if those could work on my 2016 LS XR4145. Where is the...

Anybody know what size these washers are (and all the others on an XR4145)? I'd rather not have to empty every reservoir just to retrieve an example washer before running to the hardware store. In particular, my LS leaks trans/hyd fluid pretty badly. It's hard to tell the actual source...

I just downloaded another XR4145 Operators Manual, presumably for a 2020 model, that gives different oil recommendations than my 2016 manual does: 5W-40 from -22F to +104F 10W-30 from -4F to +86F 15W-40 from +5F to +104F Both manuals list the exact same engine, so it's surprising that the...

I like those shovel holders. Where'd you get them? Any suggestions on how to carry a shovel on a tractor with a cab? I got my cabbed LS XR4145 after a particularly snowy winter, but the lack of an open ROPS does restrict my cargo options.

A few times every summer. I an usually avoid tractor work when it's 100+, but there's no way you can avoid 90+, because it can hit that by noon many days in July.

Any chance I could get one as well? I have a 2016 XR4145, although I bet that XR4155 is very similar.

It looks like you misread the manual. It says 10W-30 is good for -10 C (14 F) at the low end and 40 C (104 F) at the high end. Yes, I regularly plow snow in subzero temps, which is why I bought a tractor with a cab. 🥶 It's sounding like T6 5W-40 is the popular choice, so I'll probably go...

Thanks for all the replies, everyone. Despite being 8 years old, mine only has 165 hours on it. The oil on the dip stick is pretty dark, so it's apparently been a while since it was changed. My time is more valuable than my money these days. I probably put less than 100 hours a year on my...

I just bought a low-hour 2016 LS XR4145, their 45-horse CUT. It's overdue for an oil change. I live in Nebraska, where we see temps between -20F and 104F every year. I use my tractor year-round, but I don't use it enough to warrant changing the oil more than once per year. The manual says to...
