I recently moved from a fairly flat property to a 40 acre timbered property on the side of a mountain in Southern Idaho. I had planned to change the injection pump shims on my L2501 this spring, but after reading this I would love to take this approach. I am not at all concerned with how the tractor will hold up to this power change, and agree with the reasons you have given on why this will not affect the tractor. I am not a mechanic, but can follow instructions if properly given, I would love to give a kit a try if you ever put one together. Better yet, if you need to install one a 2nd time in order to properly put your kit together or or write instructions I will haul my tactor your way.
I believe you would greatly benefit from a Turbo kit.
We have already successfully transferred the Turbo components from my L2501 to another local L2501. We’re confident in the overall fitment of the Turbo system. We’ll have something put together and available soon.
3 of the first 5 Turbo kits are going to L2501 owners operating at elevation. I’m looking forward to the results of those installations.
It’s very possible the guys at elevation will be able to install the Turbo kit, restore all lost performance and not have to increase the fuel. But, if they’re looking at increasing performance over and above factory performance, then some additional fuel adjustment will be required (but, nothing like at sea level).
