I have the Kabota V1902 engine which is supposed to have an internal clearance issue with the freeze plugs on the side of the engine. Think I'm still going to try the hydronic heating system bleeder when some more of the snow disappears so I can work on it. Thanks for trying to help. If it works...

The info. I found the heater has to go in the freeze plug on the back side of the head. There is not enough room between the cylinder sleeves on the side of the engine to accept the heater. I can't even get my hand in between the cab and back side of the engine. That's why I'm trying to install...

I cannot get...

I probably should have titled my last post drive control instead of neutralizer problem so people will know what I'm talking about. Sorry about that

I have a L 553 with neutralizer problems. I tried adjusting the control levers according to the service manual. Removed the end play on both neutralizers-no problem. Loosened retaining bolts(rear end on the right one-front end on the left one) Wheels were creeping rearward. Could not make any...
