The decompression lever looks like a choke cable arrangement to the left of the tach and near the fuse box cover on the dash. Pull the cable handle up when you try to start and the engine should spin easily and much faster then normal. Once the oil light goes off push the knob back in and you...

Something I learned with my old Kubota was to glow the engine for a minute and then to pull the decompression cable out and spin the engine up until the oil pressure light went out. I then pushed the decompression cable back in and the engine normally only took a few seconds to start. I do not...

Oh yeah when starting after the filter change and bleeding I glowed plugged for a minute then I used the decompression lever and pulled it out and spun up the engine until the oil light went out then tried starting. It generally took a couple try's to start but it will catch and then I simply...

Meanjean, When I replaced the radiator hoses on my L1801 I just took the old hoses off and made a trip to NAPA and they match the hoses on mine. I would recommend that you also replace the lower hose at the same time. That way you are in once and back out. ON the filter change you still will...

On the radiator leak really check the upper and lower hoses as they are alot of the time they are really old. I have found more leaks from the hoses then the radiator itself. If the top or bottom of the tank are leaking then the radiator will have to be pulled and easiest thing to do is to...

The oil filter is sitting sideways on the right hand side of the engine about half between the front and back side of the engine. The fuel filter is located near the rear of the engine on the right hand side. For life of me I do not remember the filter numbers but Mr K and Vic have the filter...

The rice tires will work fine in the snow but consider having them ballasted as the I discovered on a slight slope you can lose traction and after I had mine loaded the tractor took on a different tone on the traction issue. I personally like rimguard as this will not rust the rims like CC...

meanjean, I am sorry but there is no known owner's manual for the L1801 in either hard copy or PDF. The closest North American manual for this model tractor is the owner's manual is the L185. I personally always serviced my old L1801 changing the oil and diesel filters every 100 hours or once...

I have since sold the tractor and if I remember that I used just under 4 quarts of oil on a change with filter. Since I sold the tractor I gave the new owner the WSM but if you get the operators manual for a L185 it has the wiring diagram in the back of it. I would just go to a Kubota dealer...

The parts manual calls for 20 X 8.00-10 for the fronts and 8.3/8-24 for the rears.

Welcome to orangetractortalks yeah the tractor is basically the same as the L-185 and it has the Z851 which is very close to the Z751 that was used in the L-185. I used the L-185's parts, operators and Work Shop Manual for the L-185 when I had mine. For instance the clutch package was a direct...

When I first bought the tractor I was only looking at it has a home owners project worker, kind of like a appliance to help do projects on the property. What really surprised me was the attitude of the tractor, it was ripping through the projects and was doing like it was a tractor twice or...

I found something on my L1801 that I just sold last Sunday and that was on the valve stem side of the rear wheels was a series of numbers then a space and then the year 1977 on mine. The 1977 was the year that the rear wheel was made. This is on the flat area on the wheel that is where I found...

It was really hard to let the beast go as it had always started and worked hard for me and was a great tractor. The thing that bothered me was the fact that the tractor was in semi-retirement and I felt that this tractor should be working hard and it is at my co-workers home. The comment...

After 8 years of service I sold my faithful companion in working my property. I sold my Zen-Noh ZL1801 to a co-worker and he is having it working on his property of 8 acres clearing and cleaning up his land. My Zen-Noh was a excellent tractor and did all of what was asked of it and more...

One other thing to check is the muffler. Prolonged use of the engine at idle or slightly above idle when plug up the muffler with soot. Yanmar tractors are known to do this and what most do is remove the muffler and test run it (I realize it will be loud) and play with the throttle and...

I am a transplant from Iowa and my wife is from the Philippines. When we found the property we are living on now we actually were lost, but both my wife and I just fell in love with it. We made a offer and it was accepted. What was really different was not the property but the folks that live...
