Hey TurnerDW, When I did the one on my L1500dt, we removed it and emptied it out and used a bit of gas to swish it around, and then some soapy water, and a hose to rinse it good, then I used a hair dryer in the fill hole to help dry it out. Then left it sitting in the hot sun for a cpl of days...

Hey motionclone, That may seem like a cheap thing to you, but for me it is not tenable, it's just to prevent rust, (not a critical part)), and I'm not made of money, I do spend when it is important/critical, but paint is only for protection and looks, it's not like I enter this thing in tractor...

Hey Flintknapper, You are lucky, I wish mine was made like that, but I don't have a t-stat. Tours should be easy to do then. I just find it hard to believe Kubota didn't put at least 1 threaded hole in the head of these thing with a plug. You know as long as we have had ours, (29 yrs now) it...

I don't have any Pink, sighs. Besides if I paint the tractor Pink, nobody would be able to see me when when I drive it to Church in my best outfit, lol. fried1765, My 1500 is as old as they come and it hasn't turned pink yet, don't think I need to give it any ideas, lol Cheers Samantha

Hey Kenny, CONGRATS Grandpa, :) That is always good to hear, and so now for the big one, boy or girl? PICS PICS PICS, You know we have to have em, hehe So happy For You! Cheers Samantha

Hey Folks, 1 more question before bed, yawns. I simply can't find a shade of blue that will match the Kubota blue anywhere at a reasonable price, (not gonna pay 20 or 30 bucks for a rattle can), and I'm not setup right now to use my spray gun. So here's the question, I have a bunch of...

Hey Wolfman, How's your day been? Oh yes all the terminals will be the heat shrink type, and maybe even heat shrink over that, not sure yet, but I have tons of every size heat shrink, terminals, wire protection sleeve plus wire loom. I'm talking about these: Only smaller to fit the terminals...

Hey Folks, I forgot to ask anyone have a lead on the little boots covering all the studs on the back of the ignition switch? The old ones were so dry rotted they just crumbled off. I will seal each one with silicone if I have to but that is a last resort, shivers. Cheers Samantha

Hey Folks, Well yesterday I tore all the new brackets, and PS pump off the front of the engine, and removed the new idler assembly we made, (it replaces the fan mount and fan pulley shaft and all), so I could recess the end of the bolt, (it was in the way of the new electric fan). This morning...

Hey Kenny, At least now I am no longer ashamed to show my 1500 on here, looks almost exactly the same but no FEL, lol, and we changed out the R&C tires for regular AG tires. That is one tough old tractor, it will take whatever you can throw at it and ask for more. I wish I had the time and a...

Hey KennyMillar, Just for reference, that tractor shares 99% of the parts with the L175, but the L175 never came in a DT version, only 2 wheel drive, had to move up to the 185 I think, or maybe the 195 to get the DT. While you are redoing everything, I think I would change how those hoses are...

Hey Rcflyer330, LOL, you sure wanted to make sure you knew when the brake was on, Rudolf would be jealous of that light, WOW. Great solution though, I Love it, and very nice job patching it in too, Sweet. Cheers Samantha

Hey Dan, That is good to know, I never get tired of learning. Tidbit of my own, when I was young and stupid I knew everything, I knew it all, imagine my shock when I woke up one morning in my early 20's and realized just how stupid I really was! I have since spent my life trying my best to...

Hey Countrylife, Using the larger cylinder won't hurt anything, it will just have more lifting capacity because of the larger bore. The system should have a pressure relief valve in the circuit to protect over loading the system. The only thing you will notice is the lager bore cylinder will...

If it works use it, :). Cheers Samantha

Hey Hokie, Thanks for the correct answer, I have learned something here. Cheers Samantha

Hey Folks, Having read thru this entire thread the OP keeps referring to a "Whine" noise, my question is this, is the whine noise like a gearbox would make or is more high pitched screeching noise like fluid by-passing somewhere. If it's the "Whine" a gear box would make then he could have...

Hey Folks, Hmmm, never seen concave backup washers like that before, but rule of thumb is anything concave goes toward the pressure, so I acts as a wiper, (expands/opens up when pressure is applied), and does not just fold over and allow fluid to pass over it, so I would go with the left pic...

Hey 85Hokie, First Thanks for the reply. You are not beating a dead horse, the problem is I have failed to present the situation properly, (one drawback to having more than 1 thread), I will solve the presentation issue once I put it all back together again, (tore it all apart for 1...

Agree totally, it's why I took the time to type out my post above, not just for you or directed at you, but trying reply to "your" issue all at the same time, maybe help someone else out "BEFORE" they do the wrong thing. Hi Diesel, Some things I have plenty of patience with other not so much...
