Yeah, this has been a years long process. I stopped and did an Allis-Chalmers B-110 first. Took me from October last year to April this year. Now I’m turning my attention back to the L175. Starting from scratch again. Unless I just fall into a quality discount gold mine I’ll probably be...

That’s where it was.

As a follow up to my earlier post… I’m looking for the engine serial number on my ‘73 L175 (tractor serial number is 10570 for what it’s worth). I looked for the engine serial behind the fuel pump on the block where it was supposed to be and the only number I found was 743cc4k2. Local dealer...

I was wondering if anyone has any experience ordering from FridayParts.com? Im in the very beginning stages of a restoration project on a 1973 L175 and I’m starting to collect parts. I see the prices on their site are excellent and customer service reviews are great but my concern is the quality...

It's possible the idle is set too low. There was an intermediate owner before I bought it back and he maintained it but wasn't big on what I would consider proper repairs. The tach cable was gone when I got it back from him but I'd say it has somewhere between 2000 & 2500 hours on it. All engine...

Hey guys, I'm finally starting down what will probably be a years long road of restoring my grandfather's L175 to 1973 condition-- which will probably lead to a lot more questions as I go. Today my question is about the injection pump. Whenever you are working the tractor hard and suddenly let...

The size isn't so much the issue as it is finding something that resembles the original look. Also, from what I read it calls for 8.4-24 on the back. Will 8.3-24 work?

Thanks!

I've been looking all over online for some rear ag tires and I can't find anything that is exactly the right size. I see some that appear to have tires pretty close to the original ones on them. Does anyone know where I might be able to get them? I'm no tire expert so if another tire size might...

Thanks guys! I've emailed several places I've found online. We'll see what comes of it.

Does anyone know of a good Kubota salvage yard? I live near West Kentucky Tractor Parts and they were fantastic but they've closed down now. I'm specifically looking for an original style steering wheel for my L175 and also will need new dash sheet metal. If anyone can point me in the right...

I did and I saw a diagram for an L260 and a L225 I believe but nothing for an L175

It's for an L175 and I need a wiring diagram

I see they have WSM manuals on there. Anyone have any reviews of those?

I'm not sure what OST stands for but I heard it on here when I was asking about wiring diagrams
