    shuttle cable freezing

    There are tools that help force lube into the cable outer sleeve. If it is full of frozen water then this would not help until you thaw it and then force the water out. See this link for an example - they are usually locally available at motorcycle shops...

    Turf tyres for treads - help??

    You might want to look at this thread. I believe that he converted the same rims from turf tires to Ag tires - which I thought you could not do from reading other threads... http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12745

    Please help!!

    How did you spray it off? Perhaps you got water into a wire connector and shorted out a fuse or fusible link? Start with the simple things - take a jumper cable directly to the starter and see if it turns over. Key off and in neutral (check twice or more) just to see if the starter will...

    Transmission oil question

    as to where the screen is... On the L185 which is very similar to the L175 it is near your left heel when you are sitting on the tractor. You can see it in the second picture in the first post of this thread (it is painted red and was not the subject of the picture)...

    King Kutter scoop?

    These scoops are also called the "poor man's loader". They are pulled behind to take up some dirt, lifted, then dumped in another site. Some can be turned backwards so you can back into the area to scoop from. In answer to the will this fit my tractor question - what category 3 point is the...

    Favorite way to kill yellow jackets?

    I hate those things - I get pretty swollen if they sting me. I had bees in a tree and here is the drill to get rid of them. They were in the hollow trunk of a tree and like you I tried to use screen to keep them in - no good. The trick I was given was to take plastic wrap (like Saran...

    Help, b36 tiller

    It is probably some type of chain tensioner. See this link for a example of one that has a gear at the end. They often have a "plastic" paddle that pushes the chain tight. It normally pushes the chain toward the pulleys about half way between the pulleys. That creates more contact between...

    Fuel Capacity

    I can not be sure about the L175 but the manual for my L185 has the volume as 5.8 Gallons (22 liters). That is from the first few pages (numbered 2 in my book) in the SPECIFICATIONS section.

    Rotary cutter restore

    I think you will find that and EP0 is a grease that is NLGI 0 grade and that and EP3 is a grease with a NLGI 3. I agree that you will find greases labeled EP623 and probably have to look at the web site to figure out what that it. The confusion usually come about from synthetic oils and new...

    L3200 brake lights / trailer hookup

    Maybe I am thinking too simple but can't you just get power from the tractor, use some handheld or magnetically mounted toggle switch bank to control the trailer lights through the 7 pin connector. When you know you are slowing just turn on the brake lights with a toggle switch. Use...

    website outages recently becoming a bit of a pain now.

    A couple of days ago it was sketchy. It would work for a little while and then the browser would shut down and restart like the site had something going on. That is the only think I have seen recently.

    Oil check

    If your tractor is a L185 then there is a level plug on the side of the transmission right around where the clutch pedal is. See this thread for a picture of my L185 with the level plug painted red. http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9299&page=2
