Why is the engine oil pressure indicator ON during operation of my LS tractor?
- J
  Jessica NicholsAug 29, 2025
  If the engine oil pressure indicator is on, it could be due to a lack of engine oil, so supplement it. The engine oil might have low viscosity, requiring replacement with the proper viscosity. There could be a warning light switch error, which means you should replace it. A fault of the oil pump or a clogged oil filter element can also trigger the indicator, requiring repair or element replacement, respectively.

What causes HST power to be too low in my LS tractor?
- M
  Mary AndersonSep 5, 2025
  Low HST power can result from an oil shortage, so add oil. Air in the HST circuit requires checking and repairing the hydraulic suction line. If the transmission oil temperature is too high, stop the engine to cool the oil, then restart. Worn HST moving parts need repair or replacement, and a clogged HST filter should be replaced.

Why won't the start motor turn on my LS tractor?
- J
  John HarveyAug 26, 2025
  The start motor may not turn due to several reasons. The start safety switch might not be contacted, so depress the clutch pedal fully. Ensure the PTO switch is in the “OFF” position. The battery could be discharged, requiring a charge or replacement. Check for and tighten any loosened terminals. The key switch or the start motor itself might have failed, needing repair or replacement.

What causes hydraulic fluid to foam in my LS tractor accessories?
- Y
  youngericAug 26, 2025
  Hydraulic fluid foaming in your LS tractor accessories is often due to air leaking into the suction side of the hydraulic pump. Check for loose or defective connections between the reservoir and hydraulic pump. It can also be caused by using improper hydraulic oil. Refer to your Tractor Operator's Manual and replace the hydraulic oil with the recommended type.
