    Loud hiss/pressure release sound on starting.

    I had no way to push the clutch, turn the key and video the engine all at the same time by myself.

    Loud hiss/pressure release sound on starting.

    Today the hiss seemed to be a bit shorter on startup and it started a little easier than it has been. I've attached it below. You have to have the volume up pretty good as I think Youtube has kind of supressed the high end.

    Loud hiss/pressure release sound on starting.

    Hiss is the best way I can describe it in one word. It sounds like the pressure valve on an air compressor or like air brakes. It only does it when its cranking and starting up. Once it's running, the sound is gone. I cleaned my air filter, it wasn't bad. I pulled the dipstick and didn't see...

    Loud hiss/pressure release sound on starting.

    I have a 2011 LS G3038 that just recently started making a loud hissing noise like pressure releasing when it's cranking over and starting. Also, seems a little hard to crank like the battery is low (fairly new battery). After that, it runs fine. Maybe a little more smoke than usual at start up...

    can't get PTO shaft off

    My tractor is only a couple of years old and i was using an old borrowed auger. It was a little tough to get the PTO shaft all the way on so that the pin clicked home. I didn't need tools to get it to go, but is did take some persuading. Now, I'm done with the auger and I absolutely cannot get...

    G3038 Panel mount switches

    I'm wanting to wire up some lights on the ROPS. I have them mounted, but was wondering if anyone has found an after market panel mount switch that will fit in the existing holes. If not, and some of you have fashioned another solution, I'd love to see pics. That may be standard size switch in...

    Homemade bandmill question

    I, like so many before me (thank you for posting, instructing, and inspiring), am building a bandsaw mill. I've seen hundreds of pics and videos online and read hundreds of articles, forum posts, etc.. I've designed, redesigned, built, re-re-designed on the fly and am to a point where I need to...

    FEL question on G3038

    I recently bought my G3038 and started putting the FEL to use right away. I thought the curl was a little weak, but not always so I figured it was just user error and I'd figure it out later. I thought that maybe it needed to be bled so I started to cycle through the curl/dump function and...

    Retaining wall block question...)

    I have a retaining wall that is 3 2' tiers and was constructed sometime long before I bought this house. This wall was built from 6x6 timbers and is crumbling now and has to be replaced ASAP. I have looked at many different brands/types of retaining wall block and I just can't afford it...

    Hi

    Hi all, this is my requisite first post. I was a member here several years ago then sold my tractor and got busy with my life. I"m buying another tractor and so I'm back. I was thinking about going with a new holland again, but I'm now leaning toward the LS. Someone steer me in a different...
