Anyone change the oil mist separator filter or check valve clearance? Both listed in manual for maintenance at 1000 hours.

Took delivery yesterday and the brush cutter came up to about a 30 degree angle from the tail wheel which I thought was normal when I started it up and reversed it. Started forward with it and let the loader down few inches and the brush cutter came down to ground level. I have yet to be able to...

I have an LS xu6168 with a loader. The loader will raise but stop at about 5 ft. It will not raise any further and sounds strained when I try to get it to raise higher. No issues lifting things that are heavy. I have a grappler that opens, closes and tilts with no issues. The loader will not...

Hi everyone. I have an LS MT125 that I got for cheap. The problem is the transmission is in very bad condition. The previous owner hit something with the hydraulic oil filter (no guard installed) and ran it out of fluid. Then kept trying to make it go until it started making very bad noises...

I went to my local dealer for a engine filter, engine oil, hydraulic filter and hydro filter. He asked me if the tractor had the S-HST or the HST transmission because they had two different filters. One of the filters had a much bigger hole to screw the filter on. I never thought to ask him what...

I bought a new LS tractor, model MT347HC in 2024. Worked great until I began to have regen issues. My issue today is LS's parts ordering system. My tractor has been at the dealer for 4 weeks (going on 5 weeks), waiting for DPF gaskets. The dealer has not been very helpful as no one seems to know...

I have a 2019 model XG3025 and all the lights quit working. Nothing happens when you turn the light switch, no head lights or flashers work. I have checked the fuses and they are good. Has anyone else had an issue like this or know what the issue could be?

I bought this tractor with 600 hours on it. Didn’t seem like it had been overly worked based on that. Lately it feels like I’m driving around with a board strapped on the right rear tire. Sort of a “high point/low point” sort of ride. Any ideas on what that might be?

It appears that LS has taken away our ability to search for parts on their online system. I suspect that this is an attempt to force us to buy more through their dealer network as opposed to buying through Messick's or Case/New Holland. I'm all for supporting the dealers, but over the last year...

I bought this with my 2019 MT122 as a backup for my 60" zero turn. Used it for about an hour to test it (works great) and then set it where it sits now. Essentially new condition. Dealers want about $1K more than I'm asking. I live 20 miles north of Milwaukee. Prefer cash and local...

I've been wanting to post a 200-hour review of my LS lately because there is not a ton of information on them online. My MT240 is used mostly for my part time property maintenance business and used occasionally for work around my property. The tractor primarily is used for tough mowing jobs...

I am hearing nightmare stories about LS parts availability, the ability to even locate the parts, and the priority of New Holland over LS to obtain parts. I am somewhat concerned about ensuring my LS is not worked too hard or too often. As long as nothing breaks, we are still good. Hoping...

Trouble with low-medium and high gearshift only responds in low and only in creeper speed

Does anyone know where you can get telescoping stabilizers to replace the turnbuckle set up. Turnbuckles are a royal pain to use. Thanks

Hi guys, I'm about to start my 50hr maintenance on my new tractor next week. I saw the vacuum trick for changing the hydraulic and hst filters. What do you recommend is the easiest way to replace the hst filter? I looked at it quickly last night and seems to be underneath the seat. Is the...

Is LS having supply chain issues for parts? Our repair center said they ordered parts and it has been at least 6 MONTHS!

Finally, I got all the planned Mods for my 232H Premium complete. Raised the seat up. Two rear remotes. Top & Tilt. 3 X Multiplier. 3rd function up front for the grapple.

Anyone out there that’s an LS owner, operator, and or repair them and lives not too far from lake county Ohio… please drop a yes 🥰🙏

I've had my LS MT225S for 2.5 years, and it has been a great little tractor. Well, until this summer. In July, the loader valve started leaking whenever the lift cylinders were pressurized (so any time the tractor was running, because one must lift the loader to go anywhere). While waiting for...

Hello. New to LS, have a MT226 and would like to find a suspension seat adapter plate for the stock seat. My googling has not proved successful so I wanted to post here. Since some LS and New Holland tractors are similar, would I have any luck going that route? If so, I’m not sure what...

Anyone know what the ESC main and ESC speed up/down switch on the LS240 HST does? There is no explanation in the manual, the electrical diagram shows them going to a resistor pack and to the ESC.

Does anyone have an online source for the bucket tilt cylinders rebuild kit? Or have what to order to rebuild(reseal) the two cylinders. It is for a ls1011 front end loader on a mt125.

I have rodent damage on the wires running to the DPF sensor, Of course the little pissants left me about an inch of stub where the wires go into the main part of the harness, just enough to splice to. I replaced the wires, and it runs but has codes flashing, which tells me that the wire repair...

Hey so has anyone found an aftermarket repair for these joystick rods? My loader can't curl anymore and I see the rod and slider joint are worn. I can order through my dealer, but they are very far away. Amazon shows several kits as the three piece set, but they are 1/4" threads, so I'd have to...

Could not finds a search box just for LS Tractors so sorry if I am duplicative but where is the Hydro oil drain plug. No diagram in manual. TIA

I'm hoping to become the owner of an MT242e tractor in the next few days. The economy models don't include this part as standard, but I'd like to add this cover to protect the cables. Does anyone know the part number for the cover for an MT242e? See picture below. Update: I found this: Joystick...

I bought this 2024 LS MT242HCL Tractor from Lang Equipment in Hudson WI March 2024 and I now have 20 hours on it and it stopped running and starts back up and turns off in about 60 seconds every time I restart it. I drained the fuel filter 3 times to make sure there was no water in lines but...

I really love my ls 226he have 48hr on it so far. But i have found that the oil pan is weeping oil. But have decided its not worth the down time for repair yet. Moved some dirt today and noticed oil on the floor. Got to looking and its coming from the weep hole in the bell housing. Took the...

So we have about 15ish acres of New England field to mow - alot of it is a bit on a hill- I just found a 2022 LS MT345E with 85 hours on it- It is a synchro shuttle with R1 tires- Since 85% of what it will be used for is mowing the fields I do not think I will miss having the rear remotes- I can...

Re-purposing scraps is one of my favorite things to do. I decided to make a small mini-scabbard out of an old bed frame and a piece of 4" square vinyl post. It was nice having it on the Loader control side of the tractor that is out of the way and angled for easy saw removal. A little welding...

The LS MT225s has turned into my little 25hp "Go To" rig. Decided to install a couple bucket chain hooks on the bucket lifting and pulling. While at Rural King the other day, I found this D-Ring (bolt on style) rated for 10,000 lbs. I fashioned a support plate for inside the bucket under the...

I am having a hard time deciphering the the MT225 loader capabilities. My uses will be gravel, brush (branches or small trees), trees that have fallen and I have likely cut up), snow pushing (whatever), and scaring off daughter’s boyfriends by hanging a “Dad requires age verification” sign off...

Needing a handy method of taking a chain, or strap, I made a pair of hooks that rest against the ROPS BOLTS for hanging a bucket or other things. I used. 1/2" rod cut and bent with torches to the right angles, then drilled each for a pin that holds the hook secure in place on the ROPS. SAFETY...

While cleaning up my log pile this week, I decided to build a chainsaw scabbard for the new little tractor. I used an HDPE cutting board half inch thick for the scabbard section and 1/8" x 1.5" angle iron for the bolt on frame. It's a clamp style fit so I didn't drill or weld on the Loader...

Hi. I have an LS s3010 tractor that is 28hp. I need to fix up my gravel driveway what has a lot of potholes. It is more pothole than driveway at this point. I have dug up and dmoothed out some of the worst potholes with the FEL, which is better, but nowhere near ideal. So, i think it is time to...

This is the third time that this tractor has been split to replace the clutch due to release (throw-out bearing seizures). I am wondering if any other tractor owners have experienced similar troubles? It only had 200 hrs. when the first one happened. Then 400hrs and now at 1109 hrs. Every time I...

Anyone else who has the 232h or 242h have a lot of "up and down" play in the steering wheel? Just bought the tractor yesterday and noticed it as soon as I got home. Side to side is good but up and down is pretty sloppy.

Hello- Looking to replace my Dads 40 yr old Kubota L235 to mow about 20ish acres of field in NH- I am going to buy used as we only use it a few times a year ( It is a summer place)- I am looking at a Massey 1735M and just saw the LS XR3135H go up for sale- It comes with Third function...

I recently purchased a LS MT7101 tractor. Need to change the oil and filter. Having trouble finding oil filter. Any body know cross reference for this filter, it’s LS # is 403 48 967. Also, the oil plugs seemed to take 3/8 inch ratchet head, but I think I may need to use allen wrench. Anyone...

I was using my LS MT357 to grade the driveway. I lifted my driveway grader to turn around. When I went to lower it. It would not go down. I assumed it was the speed control valve. So I tried to open it. The knob would not turn in either direction. I figured the linkage from the knob to the valve...

As stated, I am new here, and have never owned a tractor before, but have run skidsteers and other construction equipment most of my life. I'm stoked about getting this tractor for our property. I just bought the new LS mentioned above which is coming in about a week or so. We also want to get...

The no cab model, hydrostatic. I bought it brand new in '18 for like $25k if I remember correctly. Only put about 500hrs on it and most of that was in the first year or so. I rarely use it and now a friend asked if I want to sell, how much. I have no idea what it's worth. I'm not trying to sell...

I bought a 2012 Case IH Farmall 40B Shuttle Shift (being delivered tomorrow) it is the same tractor as the LS R4041 as I understand it. I went to the IH dealer to get the hydraulic fluid for it and they could not tell me how much I needed. They said it wouldn't be more than 10 gal. Well...

Hello, I just picked up a preowned LS MT225S that came from the dealer with a backhoe installed. The 3 point hitch kit wasn’t given to the original owner by the dealership. Fast forward to today, the dealer has quoted all the parts I need for the 3 point hitch at just under $1k. Is there any...

Hello all, I purchased my tractor in the fall and just getting to a point of wanting to use 3 pt hitch and lighten it up for mowing. I made a wooden dolly for the backhoe and went to remove it, however, the PTO shield is in the way of removing the 2 top pins of the backhoe. I cant even back...

Some of you may have followed my thread XR4150H Engine Failure about a spun rod bearing om my tractor. Well after 4 months, I've got the tractor back and I'm doing my best to run the heck out of it. I do I have a concern about a lope at idle. If I felt that the dealer was capable of diagnosing...

https://www.lowes.com/pd/Agricultural-Tractor/5014997823 I saw one out front of a nearby Lowe’s near the garden side.

My LS 225S with the LB1300 backhoe (dealer installed) seems to have the stabilizer hydraulic lines routed non-optimally? See the photo below. With the lines in the current configuration (above the step), mounting or dismounting the rig is a bit of a hazard. Additionally that 270 degree bend...

I traded a MT3 42 for a MT3 57 back in February 24. I a have sixteen hours on the 57 now and it regened already four times. Always does it when I am ready to put it away, so it's another twenty-five minutes of running the engine at 2,200 rpms before it gets done regenning. The MT3 42 that I...

I bought a LS MT240 at a auction that sells repossessed items, it had 60 hours on it and looks brand new. Now it has 70 hours on it , the 50 hour service was done, but LS will not transfer the warranty.Nothing wrong with tractor, runs great. You would think that after a tractor inspection by my...

I’m hoping someone can help. This ESC light has been flashing. I have tried turning the ESC on or off. The cruise control does work but the light doesn’t change. Then I noticed the digital display of RPMs is stuck at 1,000 RPMs. I can throttle up over 2500 RPMs no problem. Regen seems to be...

Gday all, now that I've got your attention 😊 I'd like to introduce myself - John from Australia - and my new tractor. I have spent many hrs researching different brands/models/sizes etc before deciding on this - in no small part to the huge amount of mostly, unbiased information available here...

Got my new tractor delivered Friday. Had a chance to play around with it some doing some mowing and odd tasks over the weekend. Love it so far. I think I will really enjoy the cab. Nice to mow without getting all dusty. Said goodbye to my 2006 John Deere 2320, which has treated me well but...

A friend wants me to look at a 300 hr. 2011 LS model 3110 28 hp with him. I had not heard of the brand. He has a short driveway to maintain and wants to put in a large garden. Can anyone provide experience or feedback on the brand before I go with him? Thanks, JC

I see that Bxpanded now markets root rippers for the different LS backhoes. I have a LB3104 and was wondering if their ripper is compatible with the mechanical thumb I got from LS. Anyone here have their ripper, and are you using it with the LS thumb?? I did send them an e-mail, just waiting...

Hello, I am new to the forum as well as the LS MT122 tractor. I am going to be purchasing an LS MT122 with a loader, backhoe, box scraper, and possible a mid mower to maintain a 1-acre property with 3/4 of an acre of grass. I am up in the air with the mid mower as there doesn't seem to be any...

Probably not the most apples to apples comparison but I have been looking at new tractors for a couple of years now and getting closer to pulling that trigger. I have looked at and drove most fo the current brands out there. LS was far from my list of tractors when this started. However, there...

I have a 2022 MT357HC and I'm looking to see if anyone knows where to get a prewired plug for the stereo in a LS? The tractor side has a plug with 6 pins plus an additional single connection plug, I believe for the constant 12v. I don't mind pigtail ends to connect to my stereo side harness, I...

I have an 2015 xr4046H that caught fire in the dash. Melted down all the dash wiring, dash, seat, steering wheel, all the pedals and knobs. Anytime know if any good LS tractor salvage or used parts that might have what I need to rebuild?

Hello all, Looking for some help here, snapped the control arm on the left wheel assembly yesterday. I have a 2014 LS 4047R. I was in uneven ground doing some road work and the right wheel hit a large rock in the bank I was pulling material from. The control arm snapped right where the tie rod...

Hello, So I have 2013 G3038H tractor with about 1050hrs on it, and the tractor moves so slowly now - in all gears (high, medium and low). Fluid is not very old, and still looks clean. I changed the filter recently and cut it open to see if there was any metal debris in it - but it was clean...

I can't seem to find a service manual for an XG3135. I can find (and own) the operators manual, but not a service manual. I'm looking for something that has service codes and actual procedures. Figuring **** out on my own in the middle of nowhere with no cell service isn't fun. Dealer doesn't...

I need help identifying what this is called. It activates the lift arms from the exterior of the tractor.

Hello all, I am new to the forum and new to the world of tractors. I skimmed quite a bit in this forum in my research. Figured I would join once I had one. (skip to THE QUESTION if you don't want the yarn..) I recently purchased an LS MT468CPS with various attachments to start working on...

I have a McCormick CT28, built by LS, with an L105 loader. I need the sleeve that bolts onto the control valve which the cable runs through. I also may need the cable that runs from the valve to the joystick. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Long time project in the making, kept me off these forums for a while! I put the tractor to work on this one! The wife wasn't around during most of the dirt work, so there aren't any pictures there. Me and the little man put some seat time in for sure though!

Neither the headlights nor turn signals on my G3038H are working. Fuse is good, and I can hear the flasher relay working when turning in either direction. The combo headlight/hazard/directional switch seems to be fine (at least it connects pairs of contacts depending on the position). I cannot...

Hey fellas - looking at purchasing either an MT350HE or the MT235HE. This is my first time buying a tractor and I'm curious to know what is common in negotiations? Is like car buying? Would really appreciate any tips on how to handle things going forward. Thanks!
