They are probably 3/4 thread, probably coarse pitch. One will be right hand and one is left hand thread. You can measure it pretty easily.

Something like this https://www.homedepot.com/p/Lumax-5-Gal-Plastic-Pail-Pump-with-Flex-Hose-LX-1337/314470610 there are also metal versions and versions that replace the lid this type fits into the spout of the pail

You can probably get rims from HeyWheel

I found this that described a similar transmission https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/strange-l-series-transmission-8-speed-pto-i-think.60679/#post-609586 perhaps @Daren Todd will chime in on your tractor since he owned a similar tractor

Looks enough like my L185 to say that if you send me an email I will send you the operator manual Russellking at Austin dot rr dot com make the words symbols and then you will have it. On my tractor the orange lever on the left should be the high and low speed selector for the transmission...

Go to this website to see illustrated parts list https://apps.kubotausa.com/illustrated-parts/ here is something that I assume is the hydraulic filter and it looks like the mount is part of the case

A few more comments on your 3 point issues: Where the turnbuckles attach to the tractor near the PTO there is a pin that attaches to the tractor. That pin has some sort of keeper (cotter pin or hair pin). The original pin probably used something that was easy to remove like a hair pin keeper...

Looks like you may need to figure out some spacers for the one end with the pin. I think you might have to get something machined to fill in the gap?

Just some thoughts on how to get you into a better place with your fuel tank. Assuming that the debris is mostly magnetic material since it “corroded” you can get magnets and try to remove as much of it as possible. Then maybe just leave a magnet in the tank near the outlet so it continues to...

That’s a good plan but just be sure that the pto shaft on the rental tiller is not too long (or too short either). Read up about the damage that can cause and you’ll want to make sure of that.

The warped manifold on the intake side seems like a reasonable cause for your problem. It could be letting air flow in and messing up the fuel/air mixture. Assuming that it is carbureted not injected engine. I would not think that using starter fluid would cause the warping of the intake...

Glad to hear you got it fixed. You may be able to find some flat washers that fit under the head of the bolts that are larger diameter and can reinforce the guides from bending. There are fender washers, wide washers and standard washers that have different outer diameters. Use longer bolts...

See this post on a method to flush the transmission. Use a sacrificial 5 gallon bucket of cheap fluid https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/fast-transmission-flushing.785/ use fluid like this, good enough for a geared tractor...

Looking at the first picture and @GreensvilleJay posted picture I noticed that the tiller design is meant to be offset. Notice the offset in the top link mounting location and the placement of the pipe braces on the lower connecting points. One is inside and one is outside. I think they could...

That really makes no sense. The implement should be directly behind the pto shaft and the upper top link is directly above the pto output shaft. Will you post some pictures of the tiller on the tractor?
