    L1801DT Low Oil Pressure (Not cam shaft plug)

    UPDATE.... I'm an idiot. I pulled the camshaft, had a repaired plug at the back too. Got the machine back together - full bottom gasket set, new head gasket, lots of swearing to get the front axle back on and the 4wd driveshaft back in place Borrowed an oil pressure gauge and it has constant...

    Hi all, I'm having a bit of trouble finding specifics for my machine, I think I have a leak (Oil all over the outside / inside of the front left wheel) either from the axle oil or maybe from the front end loader hydraulic oil dripping from a fitting above. I believe this is a Japanese domestic...
