    Repair ? or do a total rebuild ?

    I think what I meant to say is this old tractor was torn down back about 2009. Any way Wolfman thanks for the encouragement. Water probably went down the hole that the push rod comes up through. 2 1/2 qts is a lot but water from radiator would continue to flow into water jacket until water...

    My new gray Kabota L1801DT

    Went back to check tire specs for L2201 since Tractordata.com does not give specs for 1501 or 1801 L2201 standard tires sizes are 8.3-22 and 7-14 If these are the standard sizes for a L1801 then I got a problem because I would have oversize on the back and standard size on the front... So...

    My new gray Kabota L1801DT

    Read my OP and you will understand.... The CL ad I responded to listed a L1801DT Kabota. I had been using a CL search engine using Kubota with model designation as search words .... then discovered that I was missing some advertised tractors because Kubota had been misspelled. Actually is very...

    My new gray Kabota L1801DT

    Well .... very interesting.... BKT sells a 9.5 22 tire that is from the exact same mold as the Bridgestone tires on my tractor... Here they are and good price too ! Maybe BKT bought the molds from Bridgestone because these BKT are exact duplicate of tires on my tractor...

    My new gray Kabota L1801DT

    It is going to be a few days till I can get the loader off and then I will try out my new inside micrometers. You can hardly feel any ledge at top of cylinders .... rubbing fingers up and down you sense more of a texture change going from smooth and then passing over where there is slight carbon...

    My new gray Kabota L1801DT

    9.5 22 I will take a close up pic of the tread. Tractor Data .com does not list tire size for 1801 and 1501 but they do list for 2201 and rears are 8.3 22 so assume same size for 1801 This tractor has one size over standard both front and rear (I believe)

    My new gray Kabota L1801DT

    Got her off of the trailer today. Diamond in the rough. Loader is maybe a bit under size for the tractor but I would rather it be under than oversize. Does anyone know difference between 1845QT and 1846QT Bushhog loaders ? Is one bigger or is one a later version ? I have seen pics of the...

    Gray Marker "00"... "01"... "02" series ......what are the differences?

    Gray Marker "00"... "01"... "02" series ......what are the differences? I am new to Kubota tractors and now the proud owner of an L 1801DT. I was specifically interested in a higher clearance tractor with an extreme low creeper gear and so discovered these "01" series with a hi low creeper in...

    Hydraulic hoses

    They make them at our local NAPA auto parts.... are fairly inexpensive ... but I am assuming the hoses and fittings are china since most of what they sell is imported these days. Thanks Lil Foot for the thumbs up on Surplus Center

    Hydraulic hoses

    I never bought any but I priced them because I bought a 3 point backhoe that was in a fire. When I discovered the cylinders were not worth rebuilding I gave up and passed the project onto another guy who worked in a cylinder rebuilding shop. I priced hoses here and they were available in inch...

    "North American" equivalent to L1802DT

    Well I have certainly appreciated this thread.... I thought the "02" series was somehow a continuation of the "01" series..... but wondered about that odd tin work. And now I know the real story on Kioti tractors and the relation to Kubota. As for these outlaw illegal import tractors .... I...
