Did LS take over Montana if so what model replaced 2740?

[Rob50056]

I have seen some Montana models replaced by LS but I can稚 find anything about if LS now builds the 2740.
Is been a very solid reliable compact tractor.Picks up big bales,run hogs,attachments,etc...
It痴 Sunday so I値l try calling LS tomorrow but I thought I壇 try the forum.
If anyone knows what model replaced the Montana 2740 please post.

Montana went out of business. LS did make tractors for Montana under contract like TYM that builds the RK tractors today.

Here is a post on the history of LS tractors. See post #2. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/ls-tractor-buying-pricing/416039-did-ls-buy-out-montana.html

Thanks,
It’s looking like the Montana 2730 has a Daedong 3A139LG engine and so far it’s looking like Kioti might be making it.
I think the Montana LS models were taken over by LS and had Mitsubishi engines??
Anyway I’m trying to find a fuel filter,bowl,o rings,and maybe even a new ring nut for my 2740.
I definitely need a new plastic bowl for it but finding one has turned into a pain.
I wonder if there’s any way to use an inline filter?
There’s 3 hoses going to bowl assembly and maybe once air is out of line I could use a Y on the inlet or outlet side of filter assembly.

Post a thread in the Montana section about looking for parts rather than asking who owns who.

It turns out it’s owned or was owned by several companies SK,LS, and parts for Kioti CK25 will do the repair this time.

Thanks for correction.
The part I知 needing,fuel filter assembly fits CK,DK,DS and DL models.
If I need engine parts or more parts knowing that it痴 a CK27 will come in helpful.
