I would start by marking the rear tires to the rims. With loaded tires it is not uncommon for the rims to spin in the tire and could make a sound like you describe. Try working it again then see if the mark moves. Solution is put a little more air in the rear tires.

I will do my best to help. The pump on the lk2554 is only about 7gpm. This is why it may seem slow especially at low RPM. Add in the wear on the pump it can be quite a bit less. Kioti has an upgraded pump to 10gpm for the lk3054 that will fit the 2554. I did this upgrade with great results. The...

Hello and welcome to TBN. Congratulations on getting your LK2554. It is a well made little tractor than will serve you well. The level of the hydraulic fluid being 1/2 way on the site glass is perfect. You might notice it is closer to the top after it runs for a while and that is okay as well...

This made me laugh a little. When I was a kid on the farm we took in a 200 acre woodland area to row crop. In the middle of those woods were some beautiful Black Walnut trees. I told dad it was shame just to waist them and I wanted to keep a few. He told me I could do whatever I wanted with...

Had the tractor not overheated and started having trouble then it would not be unreasonable for it to handle that type of mowing with the 10 ft. But you would have to keep an eye on it for sure. Also it wouldn’t be to terrible hard to add the turbo to that engine and pick up 7 or so more HP. But...

I would suggest sticking with TYM for the gasket and make sure they have your serial number. Some of the gaskets will look similar and would probably work if you carefully inspect the journal cutouts. They were a little different spots depending on models and you don’t want to block one with the...

The first thing to determine is why it overheated in the first place. I suspect the radiator fins need to be cleaned. Do you blow it out ever with compressed air? To determine if the head gasket or head is damaged you could do a combustion chamber leak test. Go to O’Reilly Auto Parts or...

Might try this process posted in another thread.

Have you tried both speeds? Is this tractor new to you? I have never broke the shaft on mine but I did replace the rear seal so I have had the shaft out.

Finding one is going to be difficult and expensive. I have one on my Beaver but was lucky it had the reverser when I bought it. I don’t use the tractor anymore but had plans of restoring it one day. It’s been sitting for about 7 years because the sector shaft out of the steering box broke. It...

This is a very challenging situation and I would imagine the most challenging part is the family members. How involved are they in this situation? How has the maintenance of this property been handled to date? I don’t believe there is one single piece of equipment that can properly maintain...

It probably would be better to start a new thread with your question so that in the future people with similar issues might find it beneficial. That said, for some reason your A remote is not in the neutral position when the lever is in the neutral position. At least that’s what it sounds...

Is it two separate filter housings, one for each circuit? Also is the pump a tandem pump, one for each circuit? Being that there is a problem with both circuits, one would want to look at any shared components. In this case it may be two separate issues. For the wings, swapping the relief...

I would think there should be filters somewhere around or on the tank. Have you ever changed them? There also should be a manifold for each motor that would have pressure relief valves. Those might be the problem. Might have to rig up a pressure gauge on a long enough hose so you can see...

The 4020 is probably the best tractor JD ever made and could be the best overall. I would not be replacing that tractor.
