Hopefully that's not over your leach field

Old tech ... I remember the x-ray glasses advertised in the back of comic books ... (Right next to the one-man submarines) LOL

You and your wife have my deepest condolences. It may sound trite, but he really is in a better place now.

If algae, pour in Biobor to kill & try polishing the fuel in the tank. Look at Boat videos for DIY polishing systems (basically a 12v fuel pump/filter/lines) & run that stirring up the tank. Here's one option:

Hats off to you. Between ABSOLUTELY hating electric gremlins and the trend towards more & more electrical/electronic components in the late 70's ... I finally quit working on cars for a living in 1980. You have WAY more patience than me.

Good luck with that saatva. I wound up with 2 (one taking up space in the garage)... wife bought one in CA that was OK, if a little soft & "hot" for my taste. When we bought a house in FL, ordered a second one based on the first. Could not sleep on it as it was way too soft & I could barely...

After checking all the above ... What is the voltage reading at the fuse panel? same as at Battery? I had a similar issue caused by the Hot side wiring, specifically, corrosion at the 100 Amp main fuse. Battery read 12.6V, fuse panel showed 5V.

Bought the LS in Colorado at estate auction (got to transfer the Warranty), the Kubota in Texas at auction, & the Cat in Georgia at auction. All used in FL. No problems with any of them.

check the fuel pickup tube in the tank for a hole/corrosion/crack.

what is the actual voltage reading at the key switch & fuse panel? same as at battery?

In your leak4 pic. Maybe my eyes, but it looks like light is showing between the gutter and the fascia. If that gapping is happening along the length, that could be how you're getting water behind the fascia and into the soffit.

How much will the dam project cost? Have them escrow that cost to reimburse you for time and materials, then increase your offer by 1/4 - 1/2 that amount.

Fuel solenoid operating properly? Do you have an electric fuel pump on that model? is that working? Intake screen plugged in tank? Vent? Will it start if you loosen the fuel cap? If all that checks out, maybe try bleeding the lines again?

You & your wife have my deepest sympathies for the recent loss of her mother and the ongoing struggles with her father.

The problem with roof leaks is that while you may see water evidence from below at say a seam between plywood panels, the leak could actually be higher up on the roof & traveling over/under the underlayment until it finds a break to the seam. I wish you lots of luck, but if the roof was fine...

SO ... sounds like you have the spring/summer to worry about in terms of buyers actually looking at the property. Unlike you, most casual buyers won't be willing to brave snowstorms & icy roads to look at a property they plan on using 1 or 2 times a year for recreation. (I wouldn't believe...

have you checked into the vevor/amazon universal tractor suspension seats? running about $250+

Any updates on your leak problem? Enquiring minds want to know.

Before dropping the tank, check the electrical connection to the water sensor. That can throw a code if not connected or excess resistance is messing with the signal to the ecu.

Try changing the fuel filter, repriming the system & see if that clears the limp mode & code.

Having just had a new roof installed followed by new gutters & leaf guards, I would check a few things. First, how the gutters were attached. In mine, the gutters were slid up under the drip edge and screwed to the fascia with gasketed screws through brackets and sealant between the layers at...

Check/clean the ground cable connection to the frame. The LS's are notorious for bad contact there. Check/clean/tighten/replace the clamps on the posts (marine terminals or milspec are good alternatives to what LS uses). Check the Hot cable 100 amp main fuse. (plastic cover on metal bracket...

Looks good, & I like the higher lightbar since headlights always get interference from the FEL anyway. Any damage to the lightbar in that location? Separate switch or tied into Headlights?

@JeepHead pics please. Always looking for ideas to improve what I got.

Now if someone reprograms your ECM to eke out the extra HP, then the comment about robbing HP and overloading engine wouldn't apply. You'd still need to compare the loader specs though.

Now they become raw material for her quilts?

you misunderstood ... when LS switched to to LS Mtron engine 31xx/41xx series the NH equivalents use the same pump specs supplied by LS.

Too much pump for the available HP. You would rob the HP from other uses & potentially overload the engine. 31XX ran 35-40 HP/41XX ran 45-55 HP off the same engine (so splines would fit). I think the 31XX also had a slightly less capable loader so maybe more chance to tweak something. Based...

Pity NH didn't do the same thing when LS switched to the LS Mtron engine. Same flows from what I see.

Based on BMaverick's post, I'm wondering if your oil additives are adding viscosity & retaining heat in the block. I haven't used oil additives in decades, but as I remember, they tended to be kind of thick & sticky (like bar lube) vs normal oil (at least the stuff I used in the 70's).

It's Russia ... (in best Boris Badenov impression) "Raskolnikov! VE don't need stinking scale, do ve? Natasha, push pedal to floor and run over moose and skvirrel before dey cross river! Dat is PLAN!"

You mention running at "high power" ... what are you doing? running a mower? Deck belts ok? How tight is the alternator/fan belt? does it look shiny or burnt? You also mention changing the exhaust. Could it be stickers/coating still burning off If you didn't burn off completely by running it...

What does the coolant tank look like? clean/normal? oily/rusty/dirty? Is it a "sweet" smell, like antifreeze? burning smell? like a clutch or belts burning up? a little more description would be helpful. Can you tell if it's coming from the exhaust or someplace else. Any new noises? (squealing)

Depending on what all you want with you, a small 12-15 inch closable duffel type bag might work. HF has some for under $20, but I don't know the quality. If need be, strengthen it up by sewing in some duck canvas. I made my own from canvas for boat use. Attachment points become the issue...

The problem in CA is the drivers more than the roads. I've driven I5 from one end to the other in CA & the most frustrating section (IMO) is the stretch between Grapevine & SF. EVERYONE insists on driving in the passing lane & the only way to make any real time is weaving in & out passing on...

Always interested in what folks here think of stuff that I may need or want to buy.

I've used all of the above, but the thing that usually works last on ANYTHING rusted stuck is when I get frustrated enough to quit for a while & soak the hell out of it with PB Blaster as a "parting gift". a few days of repeating that then any of the above usually goes much easier than day 1...

Your money/your call, but I'm betting it would cost less to build a lean-to or carport (even enclosed if you're worried about theft) to store the trailer(s) than to deal with the headaches of jockeying a trailer that's always in the way around the shop and on the road breakdowns -- not to...

For the intermittent starts. Check the battery & load test it. Chec voltage readings at the fuse panel & key switch. If less than at battery, check ground at both ends for clean/tight connections. Check the Main fuse (100 amp) at the + post for corrosion/resistance. For the glow plug/oil...

I bought the ignite 7 footer & it works great behind my LS xr4150, which probably falls between the 400 & 500 tym's

LOL Don't sugar coat R134a ... tell us how you really feel. All kidding aside, very true what R134a says, but taking it a step further, China built "new" can suffer the same problems, if not more. Like others have said, return it & get a working replacement. If there wasn't any warranty or...

Good for you & congratulations. For what it's worth ... the LS's are notorious for lousy ground connections & some bad battery cables (internal corrosion problems). So... keep that in the back of your mind anytime the tractor starts acting weird.

My XR4150 did the same thing until I replaced the battery cables/main fuse set-up. I used Milspec terminals/#2 Copper Welding cable/closed copper lugs/dielectric grease/heat shrink/and ANL 100 amp fuse block to replace everything. Had similar situation as you & in my case it was due to...

How about the main 100Amp fuse at the + post? Ground clean at both ends? Both can cause voltage problems if resistance from corrosion.

He was stalling with the clutch completely disconnected. As I read it, both electrically as well as via the belt, so no load. I'm leaning towards an electrical problem in the circuit or pto switch. Something is shorting when he engages the mower pto & robbing the ignition circuit of power, OR, a...

Probably pretty much like last time ... Far fewer (if any) 25% off coupons, less "free" with purchase promo's, a bigger push into inside track (with probably an increase in the annual fee at re-up time) and "under $10" promotions will become "under $20". I'm expecting 10% off will be the new...

I guess Aussie Truck Driving school is like the FL Aviation School that got the 9/11 hijackers. Just teach me to drive straight I won't worry about turning (I don't care about take-off/landing just steering the plane)

How did it happen? Cattle pushing against it when they were there? or is it frost heave? Only one section, or all over? Did you put the wedges in to try & straighten, or were they there when you bought? What are planning to do with the paddock when fixed? If it was mine, I'd probably pull...

As D&D said ... if the goal is to refurb & sell? NO. Only you can answer what the sentiment is worth. If you think it would make your Grandad smile ... sure. As long as you don't wind up cursing out your Dad for all the stuff you have to unrig.

Does the trailer mover need to be interchangeable? Cat 1 and Cat2? or will it just be used with the Cat2 quick hitch? If you're just going to use with the new quick hitch, the draw bar should work if the angles & offsets are set right. I'd just tack it all up on the quick hitch, then weld it...

Is running a longer pipe at a diagonal to the drive an option? Can't tell what the slope looks like on the "dry side", but I'm assuming you were going to try to drain the wet side over to the brambles by the road?

Do they use a common ground?

Does that have dash codes? if yes, what are they? If no, do you have a code reader/adapter cable etc.? Common errors on those seem to be P0087 (low fuel rail pressure) P3008(cam position sensor) P3001 (emissions deterioration). Any lights indicating it's in regen?

To the OP: Does that have a mower/reverse safety switch? Is the tractor in neutral or a forward gear? (not just clutch depressed while in reverse) I had an old craftsman with one, but as I remember it could be bypassed intentionally if you wanted to mow in reverse.

If you're still cutting out with the clutch disconnected electrically, the problem is between the pto switch and the connector. so either a shorted wire/bad safety switch/ or bad pto switch. Get a wiring diagram & start tracing out the various legs & components.

He just bought this used. I never know what I'm getting into with used equipment or how good the previous work has been done. or what shortcuts they took.

To rule out the switch, you could use any cheap switch to replace & test.

If the clutch is bad ... here's some amazon alts to JD parts. Unfortunately, it doubles the cost of your tractor if it's a bad clutch. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=mower+pto+clutch+jd+175&crid=L935R8T9PW4Y&sprefix=mower+pto+clutch+jd+175%2Caps%2C116&ref=nb_sb_noss

trace the wire back & feel for breaks in hot side insulation especially against anything that might chafe through. If you don't find wire problems, disconnect the PTO connection & try an OHMmeter between the two plugs on the pto side, each plug and the pto housing. Or pull the PTO off the...

If you don't attach the belt, does the tractor cut-off when you engage the PTO for the mower? Maybe a short in the Mower PTO clutch? or the wiring?

So ... based on that, your battery cable & white wire would go on one stud of the solenoid & the black would go on the other stud.

Pulled that from a quick google search there was a comment on an old thread here somewhere about serial number ranges & that it might have changed sometimes during production

Any 2x6 8 or 4 PT in those lengths near you? Would need to drill a few holes in the cross members to line them up but that should work. Just be sure the metal cross members are sound or you'll need to weld/bolt in new metal anyway. If you want the same 2x10 layout and can get the sizes you...

when it's hooked up & attached to the tractor, check the alignment, tension, routing & clearances between the pto clutch & that pulley. Could be the power belt is loose enough to grab somewhere & stall the engine. Finally, does it look like that pulley has been removed by previous owner & put...

Depends on your soil conditions too. Easy, sandy soil (FL) you could use wider augers w/o a problem. Heavy clay & rocks? what Jim^^ said. Also, be careful how fast you're dropping the auger & clear the hole often. Those don't have a reverse, so they can screw themselves into the ground if you...

As others have said ... you lost control somewhere between "Dearly Beloved" and "You may now Kiss the Bride". Obviously, you understood the trade-off occurring ... but the upside is 1) you get lots of fresh produce, 2) she's probably a fantastic cook given she's interested in growing so much...

I bought their 7ft landscape rake with gauge wheel kit. Good price/worked well for me in post-Milton clean-up. Collected/windrowed broken branches & various flood borne debris for easier grapple/bucket pick-up. Very happy with it (for whatever that's worth to OP).

LOL ... MIGs that identify as Stick?

Will it crank if you jump the solenoid at the starter? That'll at least tell you if it's in the key switch circuit or upstream (battery/cables/ground) ... if it cranks, will it start/run with key in run position?

Illegals going home? Maybe they figured out who the bigger dog was between Trump & Newsom & decided that IBC tote arbitrage might be the best they can hope for at this time.

Well ... at least you know you're not crazy, AND you have a potential answer. Just out of curiosity as someone who may face this at some point in my future... did he give you an estimate on the turbo cost? Also, if you get the "new" turbo design, a part number, as well as the bill for...

Sorry you had to go the dealer tech route. Please do let us know what they find & what the fix winds up being. I read somewhere on here that there may also be a fuel filter head issue on some of these LS's, but I can't remember the thread or how long ago (maybe year end 24?) -- Or if it was a...

I believe you are referring to dual shielded wire ... NOT standard fluxcore. I've never used it since I use stick on bigger stuff. .045 wire and the 211 may not be up to the task, but I'll defer to someone who has used the double shielded wire. also it changes you to a spray transfer vs the...

On the LS they have a straight pass thru "bracket" that feeds the Starter via the Main hot cable. Attached to the bracket is a 100 amp fuse that passes power to the two 50 amp system fuses (key/dash and fuse panel). On mine, the bolt attaching the fuse leg to the feeder wire for the downstream...

If that is one of the re-badged LS's check the main fuse (100 amp) connection on the hot cable for corrosion. My LS did the same thing until I changed the cable set-up & replaced both hot & ground with #2 Welding cable.

Grew up with one, and still use one occasionally. Beef, pork, veal and chicken cutlets all benefit if making schnitzels or scallopini. Mine has a toothed "tenderizer" face and a flat "thinning" side.

Agree on the INE. Not sure if it's still the case, but I have heard/read that the HF wire is repackaged INE, but won't know until I use up the current INE spool.

Unless you have a local fabricator/welding shop that can make you what you want, my best guess is you are looking at a "custom" build from one of the established ssqa attachment builders and they'll probably charge more than for an "off the shelf" attachment. If the goal is to save money vs a...

What kind of voltage readings are you getting at the fuse panel? If less than what you're seeing at the battery, try cleaning the hot cable at the main fuse just off the + post. Won't fix fuel starvation, but might fix the crank sensor/non responsive hand throttle. Have you gotten a good look...

Did this get figured out? What was fix?

Did you ever resolve this? Enquiring minds want to know.

So ... all lugs/bolts/washers are off & rim is rusted to hub/spacer? Have you tried penetrating oil between the rim & hub/spacer? Or light taps on the rim to break the rust bond? Worst case, try heat on the rim from the outside, just don't overheat (maybe wrap a wet rag around the axle against...

My '16 4150 has no electric pump. The routing of the fuel sucks though & electric push might help since fuel exits tank at bottom, climbs to top of engine for fuel filter, then drops to the injector pump. I also find I have fewer fuel starve issues when Tank is full & lots more when about 1/4.

check battery cables hot & ground for corrosion. resistance could be undervolting ECU/crank sensor. There are posts about non responsive hand throttle here. fix seems to be replacing the hand throttle.

Looks like CGA 580 on the valve so either argon or argon co2 mix? Unless this gentleman retired from AC business in which case maybe nitrogen.

^^ What ZZ said. be careful lighting. & check the test date to see if it can be traded in or you'll need to get it re-tested before anyone will fill. the top around the valve looks sketchy, like it sat outside for a while & the cap trapped water against the valve threads. I would make sure...

The too often regen is a common complaint in that series. They wound up redesigning the system for tier 4 final (41xx series), & lots of folks use the rebar approach to fix the regen issues in that particular series. Final bit of advice ... I've had better luck with the WIX/Napa filters than...

See if it powers up in glow plug mode. I don't have a feeder pump on my xr4150, only the main injector pump, & it simply draws from the tank when the line is primed ... so that may be for priming the fuel filter on change or at start. If you think it's starving for fuel under load, the intake...

What are your voltage readings at the connector? All fuses test good? Could be corrosion somewhere in the circuit creating resistance & lowering the voltage enough for the pump to not kick in. If you go to the LS Tractor home page & click on parts at the bottom, you can look up the schematics...

Glad it helped. Be aware that the LS battery cables also have a reputation for internal corrosion as well. At some point, you will need to replace them, so think about how you'll want to change things. I gave you my solution, but I'm sure others have different approaches that also work. Boat...

I apologize. I was responding & only after hitting send did I realize it wasn't the joke thread.

Looks comparable to the US General series 3 42" boxes, but the HF seems heavier, so thicker metal & no slide out wood table.

That may become a bigger issue for all parts sourced outside the country. Since the tractor should still be under warranty, you may want to escalate the issue to the regional or national sales manager. Either a swap out for a running unit or a loaner to get you by until your tractor is...

If you can find the right o-rings/washers yes rebuild. I'm seeing various pressure washer rebuild kits for 23 bucks and another 20 bucks for valves. You just need to see which kit works for you. So for 1/10th to 1/5th the cost of a new pump, you at least have a spare ... even if you buy a new pump.

As long as the additive package is compatible with the internals, I'd say go for it. If the additives aren't up to what's called for, you may have an issue. Cat came up with their TO-4 spec after TO-2 additives started destroying wet clutches in their tranny's due to a change in metals used

LS makes the basic tractor for some NH & Case models, but there can be some differences in the option/standard configurations.

If you add MT to the front of the part number, that should be the equivalent NH part (if they have an equivalent)

If all you want is torque specs, Fastenal has charts for various bolt sizes/grades as I remember.

Any rebuilders near you? Pretty sure you can get a solenoid from them, or a rebuilt if they don't want to deal in "parts".

I got some flooding, some tree damage, lost power. About as expected. Once the water recedes, grapple & seat time.

Just had a thread wrap up with a bad fuel cutoff solenoid. Are you getting full movement range on the solenoid/linkages?

Check the wires coming off the key switch (inside the anti-chafe tubing). Mine was doing that due to water in the tube. There may be a funky short/splice in there.

Line the two halves up side by side & see the overlap. Recheck the overlap At full up & full down (side) extensions (you're looking for the longest & shortest distances). You don't want it coming apart (too short) nor do you want it binding (too long). More overlap is fine, as long as there...

What Topzide said. Worst hit for me has been Ian since I was flooded across whole property. Wind wasn't too bad here, but I lost 2 cars, a garden tractor, & had to redo electrical on the LS, CAT & Kubota.

Everyone in the path ... stay safe, & get those tractors ready for post storm cleanup.

3 days ago ... zero turn ... bad bendix in new(ish) starter (18 months) 1/2 way through mowing lawn. ordered 2 new starters from Amazon, installed one/finished mowing/have spare/will rebuild the one with bad bendix when I have time, so 2 spares (that I will probably never need). Next job on...

I'm guessing a pittman arm puller or 3 flange jaw puller would do the trick if it's a press fit. If you have roll pins/or allen head bolts (set screws) in those holes, would need to remove them first.

Speed/type of ground/depth you'll be tilling are the determining factors IMO. Lots of rocks & big roots/hard pan/big bite ... more hp. easier ground/multiple passes go for width. Just make sure you protect the PTO with a slip clutch or proper shear pins

Long as you have an easy way to disconnect the jump to shut her down, you should be ok ... just make sure whoever is working on it knows what needs to be done to turn the tractor off quickly & reliably. If you have a toggle switch that you can insulate & tuck out of the way but handy, that may...

The solenoid should allow fuel into the injector pump when you are running & stop it when you turn the key off. SO ... you want it powered when in start or run and depowered in "off"

Bad relay, fuse or wiring between the key switch & the fuel shut-off solenoid.

When the key is on the "run" position is there power to the solenoid? How about in "Start" position? "off" position? Does the solenoid move when you change key positions?

Remind me ... the banjo bolt your talking about, where is it in the fuel flow? (After lift pump/before solenoid/injector pump?) A solenoid that doesn't let fuel into injector pump could give you lots of fuel before the Injector pump because you are simply pumping from the tank & back to the...

When was the last time this tractor ran? Strikes me that there are any number of disconnected/related/repeated threads running here & none are getting to the root of the problem. You need to systematically reduce the variables. Assuming that fuel is available through the system from tank...

Mine was after rainstorm. Thing is, if the wires had good insulation inside the sleeve, water shouldn't have mattered.

My XR4150 did something similar a few weeks ago. No dash lights on run position/new battery -- full/load tested fine. Cranked & ran on Crank position/died as soon as key released back to run. What I found, there is a plastic sleeve (chafe protection) around the wires going into the key...

May be time to apply @5030 's solution from two years ago.

No rats here, black racers keep them under control. Did have an issue after Hurricane Ian drove all the snakes away, but that got resolved with Contrac or Final. DoMyOwn won't ship to California, but if you have a friend in Tahoe/Reno they could receive it.

Basically, I was forced into replacement when my old AC died in central florida in mid-July. Old unit was 5 ton single stage heat pump/new is 5 ton two stage heat pump, which is "supposed" to reduce electricity usage, we'll see. As it was described, the heat pump comes on at lower setting (30%...

Now all we need is a shot of the bride & groom motoring off on a tractor with a string of tin cans dragging from the 3pt.

This isn't a classic car where original parts make the value increase, it's a working machine. If it ain't working right, it's value is $0.00. You'll be down a lot longer if you wipe out the tranny & need to wait for a slow boat from Korea to bring you another one later in the warranty...

Just glad it worked out for you. Hopefully you found out about the right part number before they shipped the wrong one ... been there/done that. I really do miss the old days when you had real "parts men" that could find an interchange/crossover on more than an oil filter, and knew what...

Congratulations. Granted, a pain in the butt (diagnosing/second guessing/waiting on parts & hoping they fit/are the right ones/checking for leaks/etc.), but something about fixing it yourself that gives a feeling you don't get just paying someone else to take care of your stuff. Always makes...

Did you ever get this figured out?

Try filling the tank and see if it runs. Could be a bad pickup tube inside the tank

Pick up a cheap electric fuel pump and plumb it in between the primary filter and the injector pump. If that fixes the issue, you have your answer. To protect the injector pump, you may want a secondary filter after the electric pump in case it sheds parts after you've made it permanent.

Can you get a small (maybe flexhead) 1/4 inch ratchet & socket on the hose clamp? Maybe an extension & swivel adapter or "wobble" extension? (Can't see the path or all the angles) Is that a piece of neoprene or rubber fitted over a hard line on the return? If so, where's the second hose...

For Cables/Posts, I've taken to making my own from welding cable and closed end copper lugs with heat shrink. For Post clamps, either soft lead marine terminals or milspec terminals. You do need to invest in a decent hydraulic crimper to crimp the lugs to the cable. All available on amazon.

Why not use field fittings? The fittings themselves cost more than crimp fittings, but cheaper than buying a good crimper and cheaper fittings.

Can you drop the tank? (once it's empty/low on fuel?)

That changes things a little. Like rScotty said, this is the more usual setup (with Racors, you always want them on the vacuum side of the pump) As long as the filter head is @ or below the level of fuel in your tank, fluid will flow to fill the filter since it seeks to equalize elevation of...

Or add a fuse block and ground bus for custom accessories. That way, you control the wire sizes, fuse sizes, switch ratings, etc. Once you figure your max sustained load from all that you want to add, you can size a feed wire and "main fuse" for the new panel. Inlines work, but I've never liked...

looking at your pic, the DB may be the better fit based on bolt hole pattern. Not sure if they ship with a gasket, or if you need to order that separate. Messick's probably stocks as well.

OK, seems you are not based on the LS R series. A quick google search shows that as your lift pump. New ones are available, but direct connect to fuel lines, not banjo fittings. and yes, appears to be bolted to the block, but to remove, you may need to remove the filter housing first for...

If that is based on the LS R series, the following links may help https://lstractorusa.com/parts/ Web Parts Catalog The diagram looks like the filter feeds the injection pump with no pre feed. You may want to see if the screen on the pick-up is clogged if you're getting low flow & filters...
