    l185 losing power when warmed up.

    Well I would tend to agree with both of you that the mower is the problem after checking everything on the tractor and finding no issues, but I cant figure out what is going on there as everything seems normal also. I do not think I am overloading it, and if I am I would be surprised because I...

    l185 losing power when warmed up.

    running 540 pto 4 ft brush hog runs fine, you dont even know your running anything. If you just enage the mower and let it sit and run I am sure it will probably work fine but that really doesnt get anyting done does it? But I can tell you after the tractor is warmed up or lets just say maybe a...

    High oil pressure

    You can get a 5w-40 in rotella synthetic, I am not sure if they make a 5w-30 or not, but I run the 5w-40 in my vw diesel which is what it calls for. I would think the 5w would be a better choice for that cold of weather. I wouldnt worry about the oil pressure, sounds fine to me.

    It only bogs with the 5 foot finish mower, it runs a 4 foot brush hog fine, but that doesnt take near the power as the finish mower. The parts breakdown doesnt show a thermostat, if there is one I dont know where it is. The problem does seem heat related, but dont think it is overheating to...

    l185 losing power when warmed up.

    I just bought a L185 and I am having issues. When trying to run a 5 foot finishing mower, it seems to run fine for 5 minutes or so, and then it starts to bog down. I have cleaned the injectors, cleaned the radiator and the air filter, and checked and set the valve clearance, none have which...
