I'm not sure either but I would rather err on the side of caution....you know how that goes. The simpler that the tractor can be the less worries etc. because I cannot send to the dealer now for other non ecu repairs, with the emissions gone they would definitely say something etc. As for...

In my case, my tractor is a gear (synchro shuttle) and I wired from key on-power on side of switch to both the fuel pump and injection pump relay (12v side), so that when the key is turned in the on position, both are powered, then when turning to crank position it cranks engine. I also wired...

Ok I got what you are saying now, was confused a little haha. Have a good one.

Same flows? little confused, when I looked at tractordata.com, you can find the NH Boomer 4060 has a main hydraulic pump that flows 12gpm using a tuned up (more HP same engine as LS XR4046) Shibarua N844 and power steering pump that supplies 5.5gpm. The LS XR4046 has a main hydraulic pump that...

Also, if anyone reading this and my above findings on the compatibility of putting a NH Boomer 4060 hydraulic pump upgrades your LS or NH tractor with the Shibarua N844 from 8 gpm to the 12 gpm NH Boomer 4060 pump, please try and do a write up. Thanks much.

In theory....if you have manual injectors and you energize the injection pump solenoid plus the fuel pump...then engine should run until you cut power to both injection pump solenoid and electric fuel pump. Then you need to make sure you are able to put some kind of throttle. After that, I dont...

I can tell you this so far about my tractor. Got it running again, had to follow the video on youtube for using a manual throttle cable etc. and gutted the dpf filter. Removed the fuel lines to the secondary burner for the exhaust so it no longer has fuel going to it and just routed the return...

Yes the website is down. No longer offering them. So what can be done? IN my case, I have an LS XR4046 with the Shibarua 2.2L 4-cyl diesel. So I started looking for similar tractors even from New Holland (LS Mitron made some of New Holland and Case tractors too) with the SAME engine. I used...

I own a 2014 LS XR4046 and got a nice bump in power after I deleted emissions and ECU control BUT my engine has mechanical pump and injectors, it wouldn't work with electric injectors.

Sent you a PM.

To each his own I suppose but to say that a person doesn't have enough experience etc. or that flux core and rod are messy makes you look like a welding snob. Funny that you preach teaching and education but yet you discount older methods that work just fine. Stick has been around and is till...

yes because you can use .023 solid wire with C25 and it does body panels and many other thin metals just fine. Remember with gas and solid wire, DO NOT do the previous tip I gave you about wire stand out, that only applies to flux core because the farther away you hold the torch with GAS/solid...

One other tip for thin welding with flux core mig and there is some dispute but as long as its not a structural piece try this: hold the mig nozzle a little farther away from your thin metal piece. A certified welder taught me that about 10 years ago, what happens is that the farther the wire...

I gave my son my Hobart 140 mig, biggest mistake I ever made hahaha. But that welder will go down to 22 amps and can weld some thin steel with solid wire and C25 gas, but then you have to have the gas. However, it also welds with flux core .030 you can turn it all the way down and practice...

"A welding course would be good" VERY true. 30 years ago, my rural area schools offered "adult community education" courses (utilizing intermediate school welding lab), welding was one of them. Took the course for $35 for a full school year at night. The best thing I ever did was learn to weld...

I've heard horror stories about this, people who bought used Oxy/Act setups from various places with the tanks, go to have them refilled and cannot. A tank distributor/refiller can deny any tank any time. There was talk of a distributor denying tank refills unless you either bought new tanks...

Having done quite a bit of brazing and metal welding with a torch, consider this: Do you know how to weld (SMAW, GMAW, FCAW etc.). If so, to me, brazing/welding with a torch is too cost prohibitive, before I would go back to that, would start up the flux core MiG, much cheaper in the long run...

Thanks for the offer, Asteral sent me the repair manual, I went to the dealer and they gave me a flash drive but it was missing all wiring diagrams etc. So the manual from Asteral did the trick. My tractor is a 2014 XR4046 4 cylinder Shiubara Diesel, it has manual injectors but the injector pump...

Asteral: Many Many thanks, the manual you provided had wiring diagrams and now I hope to be able to figure out the glow plugs issue since I bypassed the ECU. The manual I got from the dealer had lots of information missing.

Just out of curiosity, would you happen to know where I can find a service manual for 2014 XR4046? I mainly need the wiring diagram. I think my tractor is the same as NH Boomer 47? I could be wrong tho', any pointers would be much appreciated.

I too experienced issues with 2 of my local LS Dealers in trying to get service manuals. They only provided a free operators manual via flash drive. They would not give me a full service manual for my XR4046. Since its out of warranty, I will no longer bring to dealers. I had the same dreaded...

I agree with dealer support, if your dealer is more than 2 hrs away, it gets expensive quick to have them repair a tractor. I own a 2014 LS XR4046 and had no problems until recently, and for my money I paid for the tractor, I probably would not do it again, no brand bashing LS but they are close...

Thanks for the input. I'm not sure that ECU controls the maximum and minimum throttle/idle speeds. In this thread they showed a cable work around and this cable connects to the the front of the pump/timing cover where there are both minimum and maximum throttle speed settings and this is...

yeah, I'm getting close to working on the tractor as my other projects are getting finished up. Did further research and that "linear solenoid" on back of the fuel injection pump moves a shaft in it about 1/2" maximum. When I looked at the diagram for it, there is also a direct 12v signal, which...

Yes, my LS does have a separate fuel injection burner that is supposed to burn off the soot accumulated in the DPF with its own injector and glow plug of sorts to start it. Its a messed up system for sure but its not worth spending $4500 to repair just to meet EPA standards which have impacted...

My LS with the tier 4 engine has manual injection pump and manual injectors, there are some work arounds for controlling both the fuel pump (by passing the ECU controlling it) and front of the injector pump cable throttle work around (its actually posted on this site under "New Holland Boomer 37...

As an LS owner, 2014 LS XR4046, its been a great tractor until its not. 700 hours and I can tell you the work it has done, it dug out my foundation for my retirement home I built, by dug out, I mean for a floating slab (frost protected insulated slab) and put fill in, for hours and hours its has...

I feel the same way sometimes about my 2014 LS XR4046, bought it with only 12 hours on it, rigorously maintained, currently has over 700 hours with no majors issues until now. This tractor has done the lions share of work for me including even digging out the foundation for my retirement home. I...

Ditto, my 1951 Allis Chalmers WD is the same, when all else won't start in cold weather, that tractor does, it might not have power steering and all the fancy stuff but if I needed to get to my job and it was so cold nothing else would start, on that tractor I would go...and of course, I just...

I love metal roofs, will never go back to shingle and have done quite a few but never steep like 8/12 etc. On the roofs Ive done, 4/12, 6/12 I used roofing jacks mid point of the whole length, a safety harness with rope and "Cougar Paws" magnetic shoes. New sheets from the factory can be quite...

LouNY, thanks for the ideas. Maybe before I attempt to make a throttle control in place of the solenoid, I could check the output of the dash throttle trying to find its power source and just wire power to it and then when directly out to the solenoid and see how it reacts, this is because both...

Currently researching, did get the service and repair manual for my LS XR4046 tier 4. The solenoid on the back of the injection pump IS what controls engine speed and that is how the ECU controls the pump. The solenoid shaft moves up to 1/2". NOTE: I have not taken my solenoid out yet, too many...

jrasband and nbabucks1: Ive watched the video and read the posts concerning the "bypass" of the DPF system. I also checked the comments on Youtube where the poster of the video says he had to do something else for the throttle cable as it was under a lot of resistance. My 2014 XR4046, started...

to the OP, your situation makes a person ponder a bit. Everyday it seems our rights are encroached upon with little recourse. From EV push, war on oil, banning of gas stoves etc. the list goes on and on. I have Amish neighbors that use no electricity, to me thats the ultimate green but few can...

This can get political real quick. For example, in our local paper, Escanaba TWP is considering annexing 19,000 acres into the neighboring county so that a solar farm can be setup as the people in Escanaba twp. do not want it. All kinds of county board corruption supposedly going on trying to...

Thank you, wow, loads of info on that reply. I love math :) but some of this might be beyond me at the moment, thats how a person learns. To me, reading your reply, its apparent that even with deflection and load capacity, it all depends on how good and strong the ends are supported on the beams...

Thank you, I know there would have to be some kind of engineering mathematics etc. Im not ready to build it just this year, its project Ive been thinking about just so that I don't scrap the whole mobile home and throw away good steel. I do understand what you are talking about as far as needing...

Been following this build as I have a very similar landscape on the back of 20A and eventually want to build a bridge that would hold about 7000#. If anything my creek might be like a 2ft wider (longer span for the bridge). You had mentioned "I" beam...I have an old 14'x70' mobile home that is...

27 years ago I was in the same predicament as you. I got tired of asking family members who made such a big deal out of welding things for me and at that time they offered adult community education classes at night for people to learn various skills, so I chose welding. It was a cheap class, but...

While many here have been recommending Fluid Film (yes its a good product as I live in the U.P. of MI and use it yearly but will be switching) there is a completely new product from PB Blaster (called Surface Shield) that actually stands up to pressure washing and lasts 2 yrs or more. There are...

This takes me back to when I built my first home. Got 2 acres of land and went out to local big box for a cheapie chainsaw...a McCullouch, spent a good 3 weeks cutting trees down where the house/garage would go, and then thinning the rest of the wood, keeping the bigger trees for shade etc. I...

8" to 12" diameter trees...Id look for a small forest products place first, there might be up to 8 cord + of firewood that has value. Where I live its quite a bit more due to tree size etc. but still I would see about harvesting the timber first and then using equipment to get rid of the stumps etc.

In 2014 when it was real cold here and the prices spiked for LP...I was lucky I had that wood boiler I made as it saved me a ton of money. Matter of fact, we burned wood for 11 years at our other house, the amount I saved over LP to heat the house was enough to buy a new basic Polaris Ranger...

Last year I paid $110 a full cord for mixed hardwood, but again the logger/driver said had to buy whole truck load at that price...thankfully, it ended up being 20 or 21 full cord load and smaller logs not big ones, usually only split once per piece. That load of firewood should last us a...

Interesting for sure, when a person wants to learn they will do it. I did the same for welding, 30 yrs ago one of the local high schools offered a free course in "adult" community education for welding, took 2 of those courses and absorbed as much I could, it was free and at night after work...

WOW!!! Impressive education you got from volunteering etc. and the best part?? You now have that info to help teach someone else, dang I wish I lived close to you :) Thanks for all the info.

I think the whole problem with our country is that things need to be "socially acceptable", I don't care how the rest of society lives so long as they stay away from me. Can't be the only one who feels this way, I'm sure there are quite a few who get disgusted on how things are going, no matter...

Now that would be a good skill/knowledge to have, in today's world most barely know how to cut up meat as it comes from the store let alone try to butcher an animal properly. I know cows gotta hang for a certain amount of time before butchering etc. but someday Im going to volunteer to work at a...

So basically, its like deer meat, you gotta kill it and butcher it on your own, no inspection etc. so thats why it cannot be sold. Someday.....someday Im gonna try me some horse and groundhog....

good wood never goes to waste. :)

So you milk your own cow, kinda like bringing back the small family farms of yesteryear....do you pasturize it? or just drink it raw?

Really, I've never thought of it being illegal, most horse people will tell you it is illegal when it isn't. BUT I gotta ask, what does horse taste like??? Ive had deer, beef, squirrel, porkepine, and goose. I couldn't stand goose or porkepine, but the others were tasty.

I wouldn't sell either...as long as you find a way to keep the lights on, property tax paid and your head above ground...Just watching the news and the president says things are going to get rougher and food is going up....I highly suspect there will be lots of new gardens popping up in peoples...

Im on small 20 acre farm plat, I only sold my small bales to horse people because I didnt have my own animals. We used to have horses too but I got mad because I wanted to eat the horses and my better half wouldn't go for it, so we got rid of em for now. I've always held the mentality that if...

The nice thing is you still have your woodstove, in a worst case scenario, you could power it up if need be, thats being smart by not fully getting rid of it. 100+ summer, ouch haha, we haven't had a good hot week in a long time, I think last year we hit the low 90's for 2 or 3 days and that was...

This is similar to what I was doing, I would make hay every year and sell it to cover my property taxes, Im zoned AG (Agricultural) where the taxes are low and will probably go back to doing that because I made small bales, not the big round ones or big square ones, women loved the small bales...

It seems like its a double edged sword so to speak. Wood has its negatives for sure, I get my wood delivered by the whole semi load and when that gets too expensive, our state/county has a program where we can get up to 6 cord a year free if we go do the work. When I buy semi load fulls of wood...

Nice idea, but in my area good plumbers/hvac are just not available to install a system like that, even if they were, the cost to hire them would be outrageous. My retirement home has R29 walls and an R60 ceiling...most of it is done and trying to keep the costs down by doing all the work on my...

I am currently building a new smaller retirement home, planning on using propane for boiler baseboard heat/stove/dryer. But I also have an EPA woodstove (works good when no power etc. can even warm up food on it). Im weighing the possibility of making my own smaller wood boiler as a means to...

Love my 2014 LS XR4046 and have absolutely beaten the crap out of the loader, still going, I use it for both construction/plow/till/woods work etc. no issues has shuttle shift/gear trans and I opted for R1 (AG) tires, its a beast of a machine, started with 12 hours and now has over 500 with just...

My father always used to say: having spare or good used parts is like having a knife in your pocket at all times...you never know when that knife will save you, especially when "Town" is 20 min away...Only keep what ain't broke, if it's broke - can you fix it? if so - fix now (or soon), if not -...

If a dealer doesn't respond to my emails, I find another one who will. My LS came from a dealer who emailed me about it as I was in the market for a new tractor, but the one I got had 12 hours plus 1 year old, however, it was much bigger than the one I was looking at, so for 2.5k less than the...

Like your father, I too have a Ranger 570 4x4 w/turf mode but its the full size (3 seater). I call it my "little truck" because I work with it all the time, it goes 50mph and thats fast enough for me on most trails as I am getting older and prefer reliability and safety over speed. I could send...

I used to cut hay on small 7 acres of 20 but stopped due to building a home, however, each year that I cut hay prior to that, I sold out all my hay as soon as it was cut n baled. I made smaller bales, usually about 500 +/- bales a year, 45# bales I believe and most of the people who bought LOVED...

I've used my LS xr4046 with its factory loader to do just about everything I need...it has a great lifting capacity, used to dig out all the top soil and put in fill for my retirement home, snow removal and many other projects (about 500 hrs on it now). The one issue I am now facing however is...

The best product available for me in my storage lean to's that didnt have concrete was....crushed block. I live near a concrete block manufacturing facility and they have a sand/gravel yard...they would offer "crushed block" made from defective blocks/pavers etc. and recycled old blocks that...

I've noticed on my LS XR4046 to have less regen when i operate the engine over 2200 rpm, so I just set the throttle at that speed and avoid using the foot throttle, select the right gear for my needs (not a hydrostatic tractor) and leave it running at 2200 rpm or better and work it. When I stop...

Yooperdave, I too live in the U.P., near Esky...I have an LS XR4046 4wd with AG tires and have yet to have any issue with traction and that might be because I use the diff lock all the time in 4wd when pushing/scooping snow on our farm spread, I have a back blade that I push along with scraping...

Good info but one thing beckons....in the case of it being "playing fields, parkland, airport or something where the grass needs to be kept short" they would have maintenance crews where all this mowing would not fall on just one person....

mow 40 acres??? I dont know that I would bother with that, reseed into hay field, or let a farmer rent your field and do the work. If you reseed into hay field you could sell the crop...

Yes, Ill give it a shot, being a newbie here...I think Ill create a new post with pics of the table but its very similar looking to jjp8182 post pic above, was made out of rough cut lumber I had laying around. Just wanted to see if members here had good ideas to improve on it some so it lasts a...

These carry alls are interesting but wondering if I should start a new post or just keep posting here? Got a bad back and when I go to cut firewood from full log length, I absolutely HATE bending over to cut logs then picking them up off the ground bending over yet again. So, I built a "Log...

One other thing to consider, if you bought a dedicated construction machine, they are heavier and have great ballast....my tractor did lift my pre built wall sections in place without sheathing on them, had to put a 2x6 perpendicular screwed into studs so that my forks could lift the 8' sections...

I think you are right, even with my tractor (LS XR4046) and teeth on the bucket...it was hard to break up the top of the topsoil layer, so what I had to do first was use a 3pt tiller over the whole area to break up the hard packed top soil and then it was scoopable with my tractor. It is doable...

Hmmmm, well I can tell you my experience with building a "slab" house on grade with a tractor. I own a LS XR4046 with loader and my tractor did all the excavation work for our retirement home we are currently building. When I say excavation work, I mean basically all loader work done to remove...

WOW, thank you for sharing the pics...Was raised a city boy then moved to the country after I married my wife. When you live in the country you learn to be self sufficient to a certain extent. As the years progressed, I had various jobs and never knew anything about farming, just surviving. it...

Also noticed you are undecided as to what make/brand....please take your time to look them over very very carefully to compare the options on the tractors. My LS loader stick is cable operated (the loader valve is located almost under the tractor floor)...and I use the loader constantly and it...

I can only give my experience with this. Bought a 2014 LS xr4046 with the loader and never gave second thought for a backhoe as at the time of purchase they were offering the backhoe on it for an extra 4100. Fast forward to this year....now building a retirement home and used the loader...

5030: Thanks for the input, the JD 410 is actually kind of half and half standard trans. Its gear shift but the "shuttle" shift is hydraulically activated and normally a user does not have to use the foot clutch to go forward/revers and to change gears you put the shuttle shifter in the neutral...

We have an 83' JD 410 TLB, Used for just a little bit and discovered the hydraulic fluid was real low, filled up. Tractor works just fine in forward/reverse in LOW range but will not move very good in HI range. 1st gear HI and it seems like its slipping, it will move but we stopped trying out of...

Hello all: New to the TBN. Just was curious if any others have used a backhoe on the front of their tractor via the quick attach, much like a skid steer does. Picked up an older working Case D130 backhoe ($700) and weighed it (1692 lbs). These type of backhoes were attached to the pins on the...
