I have an XG3037 and have inadvertently turned it off during a regen a few times and it simply restarted the process after restarting it. No issues from prematurely stopping the regen process. You might try resetting the ECM by disconnecting the pos and neg cables, let it sit for 30 minutes...

I installed a 12v port on the left side of the console on my XG3037 and plug a Battery Tender maintainer into this port when the temps get below 20 degree. It keeps the battery fully charged and slightly warmer. I will cycle the glow plugs twice and then start the engine. Works great.

Just a thought.....get a list of the part numbers you are waiting on from the dealer, post it here, and let's see if the members of this group can find the parts and send to you. I'm happy to check with my dealer and the local NH dealer.

In addition to the seat safety switch, I believe there will be a safety switch on the brake pedal, a nuetral safety switch on the main gear shift, and a safety switch on the PTO switch. I know from my own experience the brake/clutch switch and the nuetral safety switch can require adjustment.

Several things to note: 1. If it is turning off before the regen process is completed, you may have an overload of soot. In that case, a full regen will most likely take more than 20 minutes. If it cannot complete a regen it will try again, after a few minutes or so, the next time you start the...

I know from personal experience that a hot engine will put the tractor in Limp Mode. I wonder if you have a faulty temp sensor that is causing the Limp Mode issue. If the sensor is faulty and continues to register high temps, it will eventually cause the engine to shut down. It's a safety...

I agree with Bearsixty7....need a picture of the full dash.

Can you post a picture of your dashboard when the problem happens?

You might try disconnecting the battery....negative first and then the positive. Wait a minute or so and the reconnect the battery....positive first and then the negative. This will allow the ECM to reset to the original settings. I read a post awhile back that this worked for someone else.

I am not convinced that running high rpms during the regen process has any impact on the process. The DPF system uses a burner, fueled by the tractor's diesel supply, to burn off the collected soot. I do not see how higher rpms can create enough heat that would significantly raise the temp of...

Bought my XG3037 in 2016 and the FEL was included. I think the FEL has always been included on a LS tractor.

There is no difference between on-road and off-road diesel except for the color which designates it's tax status. As for Tier 4 engines and regens....use a diesel fuel additive, such as Power Service Diesel Additive, with every tankful and be sure to change your pre-fuel and fuel filter more...

Trying to attach a picture.

Can anyone identify what make and model this lawn tractor is? It has a 17 hp Vanguard engine, a 42 " deck, and is labeled as a Limited Edition. There is no ID plate or sticker on it. At first glance I thought it might be a Craftsman built by MTD. Any help would be appreciated.

I would definitely recommend that you get a 3 pt quick hitch. It will make using 3 pt implements so much easier and eliminate the strain on your back. Harbor Freight carries them and you can usually get one on sale (or with a coupon) for $78-$89. As for the mower, I lower the mower on to...

Is this the one you are looking for? Lower right side console.

Can anyone tell me what type of electrical connector is illustrated in the picture? This is under the dash (behind the right side lower console panel) on my XG3037 and is not connected to anything. Thanks.

Picked up the trim yesterday, but will have to wait till next weekend to finish....had some minor freezing rain during the night and expect more rain today. However, I was able to finish the material/cost list so I thought I would get this posted. I also broke the costs down into the basic...

Day 7: Today I installed the side wall panels. To get the angle right, I placed a piece panel in place (over the J channel) and the traced the cut cut line on the backside of the panel using the J channel as my guide. Toughest piece was the very last piece on each side which was the last foot...

Day 7: First....a correction...I decided after my first post to increase the height of the rear wall to 7' instead of 6'. Can always use the extra head room. Today, I decided to add one more board to all three sides of the wainscotting so it is now 38.5" tall. This will save me one sheet of...

Rat guard serves two purposes; provides a shelf for the bottom edge of the metal siding to sit on and keeps pests from entering. I use it as a shelf for the siding. Here is a close-up picture:

Day 6: Fairly nice day. Started off below freezing, but quickly warmed up and eventually got up to 51 degrees. Started off by installing the fascia on the front overhang. Then installed the rafter joists. Finished that and then installed the roofing panels. Finished up with installing the rat...

Day 5: Started off the day with a trip to town to pick up the metal siding and some more lumber. Then I decided to remove each rafter so that I could angle cut the front and rear ends....wanted the rear to be flush with the wall line and wanted the front level with a vertical line so that I...

Day 4: Started off today at 15 degrees, so I put on lots of layers. By the time I finished for the day it was 32 degrees. Notched the front corner poles, assembled the ridge beam, set the ridge beam in place and bolted it to the front corner posts, installed the rafter ties, and finally...

Day 3: Today I got the wainscott on, installed the rafter seat and rafter plate, top side girts on, cut all 4 posts down to their finished height, and layed out the cut lines on front front posts for the ridge beam seat. Decided to go 8' in front and 7' in rear. More to follow next weekend.

Here's a couple of pictures of Days 1 &2 work. Next step will be to put the wainscoting on to give it more structural strength and the I will cut the corner posts down to size and install the front ridge beam. Hope to get that done this weekend.

Am building a 10' x 15' loafing shed in my new paddock. It will be a three sided (front will be open) structure, 6' high in back, 8' high in front, wainscotting on the lower 33", and metal siding the remainder and roof. Rear posts are 4" x 4"and front posts are 4" x 6". Yesterday was Day One...

Well, I thought I had the starting issue solved, but it turned out that the clutch pedal safety switch was not the issue. It wouldn't start again and turns out it is the solenoid on the starter...had it bench tested to make sure. Has anyone else had any luck replacing just the solenoid on an LS...

The starter motor on my XG3037 started sounding funny the last several times I started my XG3037. Today after having turned it off while I did some other work, it wouldn't start. No click or any sound at all. Battery checked out fine at 12.9 volts, switch checked out fine, seat switch checked...

Here are a couple of pictures.

Just installed a set of RanchEx quick hitch adapter bushings on my 3 pt. rotary mower lift pins and what a difference! No more slop and won't have to worry about the mower lift pins jumping out of the Cat. 1 quick hitch arms. Highly recommend the adapter bushings for anyone using the HF or...

I am trying to find a replacement cap for my Speeco Model 65 PHD gearbox. The cap is the top part of the gearbox which has the flanges for the pin to attach to the boom. I busted one the flanges. The Speeco gearbox number is S52022000 but is also manufactured as an Omni PHD26 and several other...

Has anyone installed a Kats Lower Radiator Hose Heater on a XG3037? I think the one I need is the 16600 1.5" model, but am not 100% sure. It appears that there is limited space to install this, bases on it's dimensions, so was hoping someone has already done this and had some advice. Thanks.

Does anyone happen to use this filter on your LS tractor and, if so, does it have the sensor connector on the bottom? These are about 1/4th to 1/3rd the cost of the original and other brands.

I have a Bolens (MTD) lawn tractor, model 13AM762F765, and have replaced the pto cable, part 946-04173E, three times in one year. Cable breaks at same spot where it attaches to the pto engagement handle. Seems to be a very poor design. Anyone else having this issue? Is there a better...

Today I finished setting up my spot sprayer and the electrical for it on my carryall platform. Now I can spot spray the fence line and those small troublesome bramble areas. I had previously install a 12v power port on the left side of the dash console and will be using this to supply...

Found a small black rubber part, approx. 2" tall by 1.5" wide, on the trail that I drive my tractor on a lot. Figured it might be from my tractor, but darned I can figure it out. Thought I would post some pictures of it and see if anyone knows what it is and where it goes. What do you think it is?

Worked on my 3 pt carry-all project today. Started with a Countyline (TSC) 1000 # capacity carry-all, added a 60" w x 33" h backboard, and a 60" w x 48" d floor. Will add some hardware for straps, vertical pvc pipes for tools and such, and will paint LS blue when it gets warmer. Now I have a...

Here is a picture of the service manual page. Hope it helps.

Have had numerous days of zero or below zero temperatures, snow, and freezing rain over the last 10 days and my Blue Mule (XG3037) has been a champ through it all. It has started easily every time and the 4W traction has been wonderful negotiating some steep inclines. I keep it in the barn when...

chydiyer, below is a diagram of a LS QA. Please note that the bottom of the latch pin is beveled and should be facing directly 180 degrees to long horizontal axis of the bucket. If the entire latch handle/latch pin assembly is turned too much to one side (as could be the case from looking at...

I am thinking about installing a 12v power port on my XG3037 and wondered if anyone else had done the same and where. I am thinking about installing it on the lower half of the console cover on the left side and would wire it directly to the battery with inline 15amp fuse protection. This would...

If I install a LS horn and switch on my XG3037, is a horn relay required? Thanks.

The OEM oil filter for my XG3037 is a 40283380 ($32.49) which cross references to a WIX 57000 ($20.86) which cross references to a Fram PH3614 ($4.19). My questions are....how can there be such price differences and is there really any advantage in using the much higher priced filters?

Complete line-up of filters for my XG3037.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a SAE 80w-90 GL4 gear oil for the front axle of a XG3037? Just checking to see what others are using. Thanks.

Here you go:

I have been trying to figure out which coolant I need to for my XG3037. The manual says that I need at coolant that satisfies ASTM5216, but then I read somewhere that a ethylene glycol based coolant that meets ASTM 6210 would also satisfy ASTM5216. My local farm supply carries the Peak Fleet...

Anyone have a recommendation on what I should use to weatherproof the wood deck of my new trailer? I would like to get as much life out of it as I can. Thanks.

Here is a picture of the eye bolt/suction line/main suction pump (right side). You can see the bolt head on top...this is what had come loose and allowed air in and fluid out. You can see the fluid residue.

Clarification....in my first response I indicated that the adapter attached to the QH which is not correct. It attaches to the top link connector of the implement. Here is a picture of the adapter on my box blade. Basically the adapter extends outward the top link connection so that the QH can...

Does anyone happen to know the size of the zerks used on the LL3109 FEL? I busted one while greasing and need to replace it. The owner's manual does not list this part. Thanks.

The 3109 FEL on my XG3037 is raising very, very slowly and the bucket seems to develop some slack or play when left in position after a few minutes. The FEL also seems to be straining to reach maximum height. This all started suddenly today for no apparent reason. Tractor has 160 hrs and was...

I have an XG3037, 160 hrs, and just noticed that the steering wheel can continue to rotate even when the front wheels have reached the limit of their turn. Is this normal? Thanks.

Most of the parts for my LS are also available through my local New Holland dealer. Only difference is the NH part number has the MT prefix. I knew that LS manufactures a great portion of the NH line of tractors, but was curious about parts so I did a little research. I will always try to...

Any opinions on Shell Rotella T5 10w-30 synthetic? Am considering it for my XG3037. Thanks.

I purchased a Cat 1 Quick Hitch from my local HF for my XG3037 and have to say that it has been one of the best tractor "extras" that I have bought......ever! No more killing my back or having to wait until I have help. Works great and is quick and easy. Did have to buy a couple of adapters...

In the span of one week, I have had to replace the head gaskets on both of my lawn tractors. One is a Troy-Bilt and the other is a Craftsman. Both have B&S single piston OHV Intek engines; TB has a 17.5hp and the Craftsman has a 20.0hp. The repair is fairly straightforward (there are also some...

After numerous unsuccessful attempts to round up our ducks at the end of the day (they preferred staying on the pond at night), my wife and I decided to provide them some shelter on the water using a repurposed small chicken coop. Here is a picture of our floating duck house....the SS Moby Duck...

Hooked up the new replacement boom and it fits like a glove! Before...using the original boom: After...using the new replacement boom: Will probably figure out a way to hook a winch to the original boom or some other repurpose use.

Here's a picture of the full set-up: I have verified the set-up with the pictures in the manual and it all looks correct to me.....other than having to offset the boom bracket on the top link bracket. I did a test hole right before taking this picture and everything seemed to work okay.

I hooked up my new Speeco 65 post hole digger to my LS XG3037 today, but not sure this is correct: As you can see, the bracket on the boom of the PHD (2" wide) will not fit inside the top link mounting bracket (inside clearance is 1.75") which forced me to offset it. Is this normal or am I...

I am quickly approaching the first service for my XG3037 and began researching and comparing prices for the necessary filters (oil filter, pre-fuel filter, fuel filter, outer air filter, inner air filter, and hydraulic filter) and was shocked to learn that there is a huge difference in prices...

TractorTech, what would you estimate that a fair price for the 903 should be when I list it on CL? Here a couple of pictures...I have disassembled it for easier storage and transportation. Thanks.

I have an XG3037 and inherited a Ford 903 PHD that I decided to hook up to the tractor for some weekend work. It was a bear getting hooked up but finally got all three points hitched. Problem is that I cannot raise it high enough to get the auger bit off the ground. Is it possible that the auger...

Here she is........my Blue Mule!

I have a new Kodiak STD 60" 3-pt rotary mower and need to replace the shear bolt. Problem is.....I have never done this before, the manual does not cover this, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get around all of the shields to get at it. Below is a picture of the gearbox and...

Took delivery of my new XG3037 a couple of weeks ago, but haven't had much time to play with it. Finally got some seat time today and started by adjusting the new mower (side to side, front to back), adding 2.4 oz of PS Diesel Kleenw/Cetane Boost to a full tank of fuel, and then mowing about 10...

My new toy.....LS XG3037!!!

My LS XG3037 was delivered today and I am thrilled with it. Ordered it with the LS 3109 FEL, Kodiak SD5 mower, dual rear hydraulic remotes, rear work light, R4 tires, and 110 gals of tire ballast. Ordered separately a Titan 42" Pallet Fork/Hay Spear. Already had a 3 point post hole auger so I...

I am considering the LS XG3037 with a LL3109 FEL for my small farm operation. Will primarily use it to lift/move 4x5 bales of hay (700-900 lbs max), mow approx. 30 acres 2-3 times a year, and then just general bucket work. It appears from all of the specs that the XG3037 should be able handle...

I am considering a NorTrac 35XT with a Koyker 160 front end loader for my small farm. Any input or thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
