    Re: Tractor Tire Sap-Out That is who I have been checking with, I would have thought there was a machine for "big rigs" shows my lack of knowledge there. :rolleyes: So I guess there is no bead to break if they can be done at home? :confused: May give it a shot once I have the tires and...

    Tractor Tire Swap-Out

    Who do people use to do tire changes on the larger rear wheels? I can not find anyone who has a machine large enough to fit a 22". or Are all large like semi size tires done by hand? :confused:

    Decals L185DT

    I5 The L185DT and L225DT are basically the US versions of the L1500DT, or as close as you will get. The 185 for the operation and the 225 for the 4WD (parts). Like the L175 is the US version of the L1500. If you tell the dealer you want parts for any 1500 they will generally not sell them to...

    So, I finally bought my first Kubota

    Really !! :confused: My old L1500DT goes into 2WD to 4WD and back on the fly, High to Low is another story. :eek: Maybe I should not be doing that, but there is no hesitation or grinding.

    Decals L185DT

    No, finding all the label part numbers is teadiuos at best, they had no rhyme or reason as to what they were called back then, most just said LABEL. I went page by page and looked at every description, then had to look at the drawing and compare that to photos to determine which "label" I was...

    Kl410

    L175 temp sensor: repair oem or add aftermarket?

    Re: L175 (l1500dt grey market) temp sensor: repair oem or add aftermarket? Oh, I see he edited his post and added some pictures. I never went back to the first post. Looks like someone added a sensor where the petcock / drain was.

    Welcome!! If it is a RWD 1500 then yes, the L175 parts are all you need. If it is a 4WD 1500DT then the L225DT parts work for that model. I have not touched my steering, that may all be L175. I PM'd you links to both parts manuals.
