You are welcome. I also have a L185F that I recently bought. I have been pleasantly surprised by the cost of most parts from the dealer. It might be worth checking into a wiring harness directly from your local dealer. Also there is no real need to get the parts manual in hard copy - it is...

See Messick's (link to the manual page below) and you can get the manuals for the L185 in hard copy. http://www.messicks.com/TractorParts/Kubota/L185.aspx

Thank you for the replies. I have already purchased the UDT and will change it out when I get the chance. Thank you for all of the advice and repiles. Russell

Not sure what you meant on you compression release operation. I have a L185 which is smaller but similar to your L235. On mine there is a cable like a choke on the dash. Pushed in there is compression (compression relief is off). Pulled out there is NOT compression (pressure relief is on)...

I called another Kubota dealer and they also recommended the UDT in the transmision of the L185. I also found this video on youtube (but it is not in the OTT video list) about the UDT being used in older tractors. Sounds basically like you can use either and it is fine...

If you have something that is blocking the use of shockwave from Adobe that is probably it. In IE8 go to tools, internet options, select "program" tab at top and then select "manage add ons" then enable shockwave flash object. If you don't have it, search for it and download it from adobe. I...

I am planning on changing the fliud in the transmission of the L185F Gear Drive tractor that I have recently purchased. I have gotten a new suction screen as has been recommended, along with new o-ring, bolts and such to make it easier when doing this. I thought I was all set, went to the...

You are correct. Each system will reach their steady state temperature, uncontrolled by any thermostat.

I had read Service Vic’s reply and will continue to use anti-freeze since that is recommended. I asked one of the heat transfer people at work about the use of water anti-freeze and having a thermostat involved and here is the explanation: The engine generates heat and the cooling system must...

Both were easy as pie! The starter switch was repaired by removing the knob (held on by small screw through the shaft of the switch). Removing the nut holding the switch to the console. Grabbing the switch from under the console, rotating it to align a small tab with a slot in the console and...

Sorry this will be a long post and I hope not to raise anyone's dander. The manuals I have state that the L185 uses a pressurized system with the cap set at 12.8 PSI. I was also reading and commenting on the use of anti-freeze on the natural circulation used on the L185. I recently purchased...

I was curious about the statement about the use of anti-freeze so read through the owner's manual for the L185 (uses the thermal circulation system - no water pump). It allows the use of anti-freeze but IMPLIES that it should only be used in the winter and mentions that the engine will run...

Thank you for the reply. I will try to get these fixed this week end.

Hello all, I recently purchased a L185 (2 wheel drive). There are a couple of items that need repair right away that I would like to have some input on. 1) the whole starter switch on the dash has started to rotate instead of just the knob and internals rotating and actuating the switch. Does...

I found the operators manual, the parts manual and the shop manual for my L185 from Messicks. I went to their website today but could not recall where to look for the manuals to see if yours existed. Good Luck!
