I have a L185 and when I drained the fluid it more came out than went in. I recall that it was similar to what you are saying about 7 gallons came out but less than 5 gallons into the transmission and it was coming out of the "check fluid level" plug. If the fluid that came out is the color...

Wolfman, I am 99.9% sure it only has the small filter in the side of the tractor. I will have to look at it in more detail but I do not recall seeing anything like what you showed anywhere on the right side of the tractor. I had never even looked at that last "oil pressure" file on the...

Have you replaced the air filter and the fuel filter? Sounds like you have a problem with the engine, fuel system or air system. How does it run other wise than the limited RPM? Color of exhaust? Bubbles in the radiator when it is running (remove cap when cold, start tractor and look in...

just curious what these two magical plates do... Are they a flex coupling between the shafts?

Ozzie, If you are sitting in the tractor seat (facing forward), on my L185 the filter screen is on the left side of the tractor. It is on the side of the tractor. It is behind the foot board of the tractor. It is near the bottom of the side of the transmission. See the second picture of this...

Yes the lack of engine speed is the root of your trouble. You should have a hand throttle on the right side of the tractor (long rod sticking up to hood height). If so, pull it toward the back of the tractor and see if you can increase the RPMS more. From what I understand you are saying...

I do not feel qualified to recommend lubricants. If you have a Kubota dealer near I would get the UDT (no need for UDT2 or super UDT but that may be all they have). If you are getting it from NAPA I don't think you will have much choice except between the universal fluid and the SAE 80/90...

With the PTO gear in 1 and the engine at speed the PTO stub will be at 540 RPM. I don't recall ever looking at it to see if it is "fast" or "slow". I think it would look slow to me but I am involved with electric motors and see shafts at 1800 and 3600 RPM all the time. That is fast and...

The manual was written when SAE 80/90 was all there really was. The tractor uses the same fluid for the transmission gears and the hydraulic (3 point hitch). I went through the same thing as you, what to use in the transmission. I ended up using the Kubota UDT on the recommendation of...

Did you verify there was lubricant in the gear box of the cutter? I have a L185 and a 4 foot cutter and it seems fine, only bogs a little in thick and tall grass (3 to 4 feet) As others stated, the proper PTO gear is first gear (540 RPM). There is a mark on the tachometer (you really kind...

You can gain a world of knowledge by learning to google and search vendor sites. But specifically go to this link: https://www.kingkutter.com/store-product.aspx?id=3550 Then look on the right side for three things parts, product manual and videos Select the Product manual and look for a pop...

There are things you really need to know before using the cutter - it can harm/kill you if you are not careful and understand the operation. You can probably down load the operators manual (assuming you don't have the original). Usually the operators manual is in a plastic tube on the...

From your description is sounds like you are adjusting the link on the side arm of the tractor so I have to assume you mean the side to side tilt since you were not specific (you can tilt it side to side or front to back (angle of attack). If you are having so much trouble adjusting the side...

I have to agree with the Wolfman I only have high and low on the transmission, The shifter for the hi/lo is on the left side of the transmission. The gear shifter itself is on the right top of the transmission. I have nothing on the PTO but the three speeds (1,2,3) and neutral shown on the...

I had the same problem on the L185F. See this thread: http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13396 If it is like mine. Basically unbolt the whole assembly from the tractor, Remove the chrome ring Remove the GLASS LENS only (don't pry between the metal parts) only the...

I have a L185 so it is similar but not exactly the same. On top of the transmission (between your legs) is a gear selector with 1 through 4 (low) then 5 through 8 (high). This is on the right hand top or the transmission. On my tractor there is only one Hi/Lo lever and that is for the...

Most people (in my area) have someone else do the hay cutting and baling since the equipment is specialized and costly. If you don't have the intent to do it yearly (or several times a year) then you will probably not make enough to cover the costs of equipment. I guess you could become the...

I saw your pictures that you sent - you should post them here and you will get more help from others. You should verify that the glow plugs actually operate before doing too much else. Search this forum for methods to verify they are good or replace them with new. From looking at the...

The basic process is to start nearest the fuel tank and eliminate air toward the injectors. The vent on the fuel filter should be below the fuel level so just crack that open and let some fuel run out until there is no air in the filter. As I understand it you do NOT want to crank it or air...
