What to do if my LS tractor clutch does not cut-off?
If the clutch does not cut-off, the lining may be damaged and require repair or replacement. Also, check for wrong clutch pedal play and adjust it accordingly.
Why are the hydraulic cylinders on my LS tractor accessories (swing, boom, dipperstick, and bucket) not functioning properly?
Several factors can cause the hydraulic cylinders on your LS tractor accessories (swing, boom, dipperstick, and bucket) to malfunction. These include low hydraulic fluid level, improperly connected hydraulic hoses, blocked hydraulic hoses to/from the control valve, a stuck backhoe control valve or tractor main relief valve, or low system pressure from the hydraulic pump. Other potential causes are a broken control valve linkage, disconnected quick couplers, blockages in the hydraulic hose or tubeline, a defective cylinder piston assembly, or a blocked control valve.
What causes hydraulic fluid to foam in my LS tractor accessories?
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.
Why won't the start motor turn on my LS tractor?
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 to do if my LS tractor engine overheats?
If your engine overheats, first check the engine coolant level and supplement if it's lacking. Inspect the fan belt for proper tension and replace it if broken. Also, ensure the radiator is free from dirt; clean it if necessary.
What should I do if my LS tractor's battery charging indicator is ON during operation?
If the battery charging indicator is on, it could be due to abnormal wiring, so check the battery terminals and ground and repair as needed. The alternator or the battery itself might be faulty and require repair or replacement. Also, check the fan belt tension and adjust or replace if necessary.
Why does my LS tractor engine turn but not start?
If the start motor turns but the engine doesn't start, the battery may be weak and needs charging or replacing. Check and tighten the ground. Improper engine oil viscosity can also be a factor, so replace the oil with the proper viscosity. Air in the fuel system requires bleeding, and a clogged fuel filter needs washing or replacing. In some cases, there may be an error in the engine body that requires repair. Finally, ensure the fuel cock is open.
What to do if my LS tractor engine stops suddenly during operation?
If your engine stops suddenly, it could be due to a fuel shortage, so add fuel and bleed air. A faulty nozzle can also cause this, requiring repair or replacement. Another potential cause is moving parts failure due to bad lubrication, which would need repair.
Why is my LS tractor engine power low?
Low engine power can be caused by several factors. The injection nozzle could be clogged, or carbon may have piled onto the valve seat. There might be a bad adjustment of the valve gap or improper injection timing. Also, check for a lack of fuel supply and ensure the air cleaner is not clogged; clean or replace it if it is.
Why is the color of exhausted smoke black in my LS tractor?
Black exhaust smoke indicates bad fuel quality, so use good quality fuel. It may also indicate an oversupply of fuel, or a fault of the nozzle, both of which require repair.
