Well, tried the battery terminals. Didn't help. I Did take notice though that the solenoid led on the panel does light up. It will go in and out when the seat belt is unbuckled or re inserted. None of the other lights come on though. When it did quit on me the sol light did go out. I think from...

Jerry, I do not nelieve it is an engine overheat or heat sensor failure. When I installed the engine I did not have a temp sensor for it, and had this problem. I've since installed the temp sensor and nothing has changed. I'm not getting a high temp light, and the machine has no gauge. Mike, I...

Hi, I posted this already in the new holland section, but figured I'd put it here too since this machine is pretty much identical and uses the same control box as some of the older John Deeres. Just thinking maybe someone that only watches the Deere section might be able to help. Started to get...

Hello, Started to get a little use out of my L555 that I just finished sticking a new motor in, and now I'm coming across an electrical gremlin. I'm beginning to assume my control box is shot, but I really don't feel like sticking another $650 into this machine to find out. The seat belt light...

Thanks tazza! I apologie that I put the entire thing back together without taking any pictures. Mail lady brought the gasket and I went right to town getting everything back together. It all went pretty well, getting the engine hooked up to the pump was a royal pain in the ass though. I had a...

Here is a before picture of the project. I was lucky that as soon as the engine started acting up that I raised the boom and locked it out. Would have been a whole other project to raise the boom to get access to the engine compartment. First, I removed the engine cover, then the radiator...

I have a kubota v2203 engine that I am in the process of transplanting in to a new holland skid steer. The engine I took out, which was a v1902 did not have this fuel shutoff solenoid, and I am trying to figure out what kind of power this needs and when. I see that this is used in a 763 bobcat...

Anyway update for today since its now quitting time. I got all the parts swapped, and I had a few bolts on the "new" engine decide they were going to break rather than come out nice so that set me back a bit, but got them all taken care of minus one exhaust manifold stud I'm going to have to...

Thought about using the silicone gasket but figured I don't want any reason to have to pull this engine again in the near future.

Please pardon me, doing posts from my phone and autocorrect gets me often. I'm not going to red till any bolt holes. I am going to re drill them though.

Looks like I'm talking to myself here but because I'm seeing some views I'll continue to update. I had a little time to give some thought about cutting that hole bigger and a regular jigsaw with some good Bosch metal blades did the trick quite well. I just have a tiny bit of touch up with the...

Engine showed up today, and I just had a little time to get started. Figured I'd go after the part that looked to be the biggest pain in the ass first. Changing the bell housing. Well I did find mine was the same as I saw someone else write about. The bell housing hole to the oil seal is a...

I just encountered the exact same issue doing the same swap on my New Holland L555. I sent an email to the original poster here on this, but if anyone has any tips on enlarging the hole in the bell housing please throw me some advice here. It has to be made about 1/4 inch bigger all the way...

Sorry for the delay in a follow up here, but here it is anyway. I took lots of pictures, but haven't got on a computer to deal with them at all yet. I had about 6 hours into getting the old motor out and a couple into cleaning everything up so far. Biggest hassle was getting to the bolts holding...

Hello, I'm new to posting here, although been reading posts here for quite a while. Here's what I've got. I have a 1993 New Holland L555 Deluxe that I'm going to be starting in the next couple of days to swap the motor in. It at the time has the Kubota v1902 and I'm going to be putting in a...
