I would not use 80/90 weight oil in the transmission as you have a front end loader and the oil is to thick to flow easily. The 80/90 is fine for your front axle but the transmission oil needs to thinner for the front end loader and the 3 point hitch to work properly. YOu can get the right oil...

I would take a look at the issue this way, Who's property is it anyway, it is yours and you entitled to do what you need to do to maintain improve your property. Go and do what you want to do as it is yours and you have every right to do what you want as long as you want.

Looks like that you got yourself a good deal.

My old Kubota had something similar and I just filled the engine oil until it was slightly above half way between the lines right in the middle someplace. To check the engine oil I pushed the stick in firmly until it bottomed out and then pulled it out and looked at it. By not going in fully...

I would think that the magnetic heater should do fine as long as the tractor is in a enclosed area. I would still pop the question over to Vic as he has more experience on the cold weather maintenance of tractors then I do down her in Western Washington. The coldest weather I had to start my...

And I still forgot two or three items. 1. Remove battery and completely clean under the battery and using a garden hose and going from the back of the radiator run water through the outside of the radiator until all the debris is gone from the lower part of the radiator. 2. Replace the...

You want to start the tractor fresh on new fluids so know the history of when you last did a service. Here is the list on my old L1801 and what I did when I got it. I have since sold my L1801 after 8 years to a co-worker 1. Engine Oil and fresh oil filter, here is a hint to know when you last...

I am going to take a different tack on this issue as I have been on and around tractors since I was a child in the 1960's. A gear tractor has straight cut gears and I have yet found any of them to be totally quiet in gear. No matter what the lubrication you are using a straight cut gears are...

OK the owner's manual is from a L-185 and I did get it in the mail today. It went by the slow boat to China method and should be at your place in 5-7 days. This manual looks like a photo copy but this is what the dealer sold me 5-6 years ago. It at least hits on all the controls but some of...

Vic gave a great idea on the muffler. I have been really busy with work but I am taking the day off today to run errands and I need to stop at the post office and mail a letter to my grand daughter who is in the Philippines. I will also mail the owner's manual I have to you today.

That's about what I paid for mine. $166 U.S. for mine 5 years ago. I think that you can flip the exhaust under your tractor by turning the exhaust manifold over but the reason I never did was I was mowing a pasture on my property that would get really dried out in the summer and having the...

Your muffler is shot does not surprise me, so was mine and I just went to the dealer and had them sell me a after market muffler with a new upper pipe. If you think it is loud with a bad muffler putting on a straight pipe will make you get a new muffler as it is super loud without a muffler...

On my T1400 there is a hydro release lever under the seat on the left hand side. You have to hold the release and push-pull the tractor to move it. I am not sure where the release is on the T1460 but it could be on the back of the tractor or under the seat. I really like my T1400 but that is...

A buddy of mine buys this old Dodge Dart with the first generation electronic ignition. I come over to admire it and my buddy wants to get it off his car trailer but he has a problem, the car will start but once you release the key to let it go go from the start to run position the engine dies...

At the most you can use a 5' box scraper but a 4' is the perfect size for the L1801. It does take some practice to getting really good with a box scraper. A 6' box scraper is just way to big and will having spin your tires in short order in my experience of using box scrapers. I got a 4' for...

Why not just go to www.kubotabooks.com and download the service manual for free. I just looked and it still there on this page. http://kubotabooks.com/AutoIndex/index.php?dir=Tractor%20Owners%20Manuals/ I have used this site before and it has lots of information and has the parts manual at...

Jean, I got your e-mail but I have been super busy and have not yet got the manual in to the mail. I will try to do it in the next couple weeks. Using the PTO almost all equipment is designed and built for 540 rpm and that is PTo gear 1 on your tractor. Using a different gear could possible...

For what it worth I have satellite internet and satellite TV. I would avoid satellite internet if I could as it really has a high latency which means you click on something and wait a few seconds for the command to go up 27,000 miles to the satellite and back to the earth station and then back...

Hey Jean, I have the Operators manual that I had from old L1801. Just put your mailing address in a e-mail to me or a regular private message and the next time I am at the Post Office I will send it. My friend who bought my old tractor said that since I gave him 3 binders with copies of...

There is 3 ways to remove blades from the mower the easy way and the hard way. The easy way is to take pictures of the deck on the tractor including all of the linkages and then remove the deck and flip it over and the blades are exposed and using a impact gun and air compressor spin the...
