Hey guys, hope your snow removal is going good ! My G3033H starts runs but once it's warmed up the oil light comes on and she stalls out ???????? I have changed the oil and filter 3x since the 50 hr. mark it now has 81.5 hrs. Any ideas. It's also hard to restart once it dies
Here we go another problem !

Is it the engine oil light or the hydraulic temp light. Mine has a warning light on the hydraulic oil (direct drive gear - not HST) that the book says not to operate under load when light is on. I have no idea why yours would be stalling. The two issues might not be related. With the cold weather, your fuel line and filters could be gelling up and shutting off the fuel.
Time to consult your dealer.

For your sake you better hope that LS has better service/ parts availability than their old sister company LG Lucky Goldstar. Thats a bummer 80 hours isn't even broken.
Hey Gary, I did call the dealer and LS too! They both said the same thing about fuel, but I also had put in the 911 stuff to stop that from gelling, I took off the filter and it seemed ok but will replace in the am, I'm hoping it isn't worse but I have my fears !!!! It starts to stall out after it's warm and then I idle it down ??? Odd I thought but LS tech said he thinks it wants to seize up ! But that's when he said it could be fuel filter clogged with wax ! But with the 911 start I'm thinking its bad
Dave, thanks I'm hoping too !

From my experience parts are readily available for LS tractors. If the problem is readily repeatable, it shouldnt be too hard to pin point the problem. Problems that come and then go away only to revisit you again later are problematic to find and fix. I would think if the filter isnt waxed up, its not fuel problem. I would open all vents to make sure fuel is flowing past the injector pump and even crack the fitting on the injectors. If everything is liquid its not fuel issue.
Have the dealer pick it up or trailer it yourself if you have the ability and get it to them to diagnose.

Thanks Gary, that is my thought, let the dealer play with it ! I've thought of trading it in ! Just because of the issues I've had from day 1, all the little things that have happened are adding up and I just want a new tractor that I feel I can depend on and not have to worry that it's going to die and leave me stranded, it died in the driveway and I had company coming over Xmas eve, I spent hours working on getting it out of the way for all the cars coming in, really couldn't enjoy the time knowing we had a foot or so of snow coming in as well and knowing its giving me problems, got to go in the hospital in a few weeks and I won't be able to "work" on it to get it going, need it for the snow without problems any thoughts ?

Good luck - let us know what they find.
Thanks, will let you know, I've never had the problems like this on the old massy I had, just think it was a Friday or Monday build
Update, just to tell you all I called the dealer and he told me he was waiting on LS to call him back ! That was yesterday, I'm still waiting for his call back, all he told me was " yes it's doing exactly what you said" !!!!
Update #2 I called the dealer, he told me they are sending a new engine, he said they had it running he pulled the oil filter was getting oil out but sounded aweful ! So how long to get an engine and put it in ?

Ouch you've definitely had your share of problems with this tractor. Hope this does not happen again out of warranty
Thanks Dave, I figured it was built on a Monday morning after a heavy weekend partying !!!! Sometimes I wish they would just give me an option on a new tractor !!!

Does Lemon Law affect tractors or just cars. Might be something to check into.

Sorry for your troubles. I was in the automobile new car business for many years as both a salesman and auto technician. One of the problems with new cars is that one sits on the lot for a very long time sometimes. These cars seems to have lots of problems. They were run out of gas and the batteries were run down frequently. I hated to sell one of them because of the problems.
When I bought my LS 3033 I insisted that they bring in a new one from the factory. The only one they had in inventory had 26 hours on it, and I thought it had been there for a while. I don't know if I made a good decision, but our "Little Tractor that can" has preformed perfectly so far.
A new engine is a great solution. In an auto dealership they might try to repair the engine. I know that you won't feel comfortable, but you can be happy that the engine is right.
Good Luck.

Thanks, I feel better about the engine, I even had changed the oil at 50 hrs but also at 70 because of winter and it sat from September till November when I moved it out front in case of snow and well you know the story ! Hope this is it for problems !

At the very least, it's good to see the dealer admitting the problem is real, and going for the correct solution of replacing the engine. I suspect that since LS is trying to gain market share, they don't want disgruntled, current owners out there, which should work in our favor.

Looks like they are doing their best in a bad situation.
They will probably send it back to Korea to figure out whats wrong i wonder if this is the first time they've seen this problem

G man and Dave, I think your right on the money !! I did send them an e-mail (LS) and called after I talked to the dealer after this started to 1 inform them and tell them how displeased I was with this happening, maybe it's best now under warranty than later with a 1000 hrs. On it But they don't need any bad press with this economy , thanks guys !
