    L1500 Pressure Plate Issue

    I am pretty sure it is all together correct, I did (as did rbrown7713) not get pictures of the assembly, prior to removing it. So I followed the advice in the thread he started http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23802 I think I will back off the transmission and pull it...

    L1500 Pressure Plate Issue

    OK, if that is the case, then the fact that the fingers are slightly "inward" from the relaxed position, makes the position of my pedal such that I have the adjustment all the way out and the pedal barely has room to release clutch. Also it puts the position of the pedal under the foot rest...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Finally got around to doing a test fire of the lights, mounted them in the grill and put it at the approximate correct height. The trees are about fifty feet from the garage, nice'n'brite

    Seeking 1980, L185 complete decal set kit source please

    I can email you a spreadsheet with all the part numbers that I got from Russell King, it has prices from, I think his local dealer also. That will give you an idea of what the costs will be. He also sent me scans of all the L185 labels he purchased.

    L1500 Installed Clutch - Issues?

    It is a support gusset, about 1 inch by 1 half inch, If you look at the PP finger photo, it looks like they are not seated properly, not sure what would cause that. That is causing the throwout bearing to be in a different position also causing the pedal to be in a different position than when...

    L1500 Installed Clutch - Issues?

    I installed the clutch today and put the Trans back on, when I was mounting the foot pads I ran into an issue, the pedal hits a protrusion on the bottom of the pad. I looked into the clutch area through the inspection window and not sure I like what I am seeing? This is a photo from...

    Changing to LED lights

    Define easily? I have a L1500 with the old 3 pin mount motorcycle bulbs and at the time could not find "plug n play" LEDs and my reflectors were so shot that after I did find one that would work it would have been worthless. Other models have LED replacements. I went this route...

    Photos of L1500 DT decals needed

    Thanks again Russell, I tried to upload to an album on the site but files are too large. If any one needs copies email me...thekubotaproject@gmail.com Again these are L185 Decal Scans, looks like most are the same for the L175 also, not sure what other models they will be suited to.

    grease fitting

    This is where it is on a L1500 DT, I just threw all this in there to take the picture, I'm still waiting for clutch parts to arrive :D I guess it would be possible to put that throw out bearing / carrier in upside down but then the return spring would not do its job because there would be...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Do you know that sinking feeling when you're working in the shop and find that rogue ball bearing, you know the only place it could have come from was probably one of the detents in the shifter. But you've got your transmission painted buttoned-up and ready to be installed. Oh well time to...

    L1501 hood/instrument panel shaking

    That is a NICE job, looks great. I agree, keep the birds away from that! Curious, is that a stock fuse holder? You do not have the metal filament fuses?
