Need information on L285P

[rickrmf]

Hello,
I'm working on an old L285 I bought a while ago.
I finally got it running after I had the injection rebuilt.
I'm now doing a little clean-up and some sheetmetal work, but there's a few things I would like to know.

They tell me it's a 1977 L285P. I would like to know the lift capacity of the three-point hitch. Also does anybody know the PSI and GPM of the hydraulic system?
Is there a hydraulic cylinder somewhere?

The charge light does not go off unless I get it to about 1800 RPM. Is this normal?
I've heard yes and no.
Should the glow plug indicator glow very bright? I can't really see it very well, but if I hold it for about 45-60 seconds then crank, it does start.

Is there anywhere I can go and download a manual? Free would be nice, but I could pay a little. One thing I would really like to have is an electrical schematic or diagram.

I would appreciate any information I can get. If anybody has photos of a L285 in fair condition, it would help me figure how things are supposed to look like.

Thanks, rickrmf

Sent a PM with links to a WSM and Parts List.

There is no L285P that I know of
F is two wheel drive, DT is 4 wheel

There is some information on that under articles on the forum about all the designations

Russell, according to Kubota illustrated parts breakdown when doing a model search. There is the L285P, and L285WP. The WP is the wide row application.

Yes the parts list I have shows a L285P, unfortunately it is not searchable
so I am not sure if there if there is a special section for the "P" but seems
to also cover the F and DT.

Well wrong again! I should have taken the time to look at all the designations again
