Member since 2017. First post. I have a LS G3038

I'm caught in a back and forth between my dealer and the manufacturer (LS).

Namely, the dealer won't sell me a service manual, and LS tells me to buy it from the dealer.

I can't get through to talk to a human at LS and their return emails to me are vague and inclusive.

Anybody else have a similar problem and a possible solution?

Thanks in advance

I ordered the factory parts and service manuals from the dealer when I bought my tractor. They have the service manual part number to order it, your dealer just doesn't want to look it up.

Thanks George and Mossroad.

The parts listing is very helpful.
Now if I can find torque specs and gear lash tolerances, I'm all set...

Check these ones out that @Asteral kindly shared with us. Don't know if there is one for your model or not though.

Wiring diagrams for LS XG 3135H and others are in this thread.

I have rodent damage on the wires running to the DPF sensor, Of course the little pissants left me about an inch of stub where the wires go into the main part of the harness, just enough to splice to. I replaced the wires, and it runs but has codes flashing, which tells me that the wire repair...

That floors me, that they won't sell you a manual.

Thanks to all for the help.

I'm wondering now about having bought an LS...
