    L1500DT Manual

    I lost my digital copy of my maintenance /service manual. I believe it’s basically the same as an L185. Does anyone have a link to get one? also attached are photos of my little yard Kubota.

    Fan shroud

    ok. I’ll see if I can get it on a trailer and take it to a shop. Right now I’m laying in the snow. I let it run for some time and I have oil dripping. Can’t tell where from.

    Fan shroud

    Nothing broke, but front end bent down. Trying to figure out how to bend back up. Using the tractor weight on a jack for now.

    Fan shroud

    So I bent the front frame. I have it sitting on a jack to let the weight reverse the bend. Any other suggestions on bending it back in olace

    Thank you all. I’m inspecting now and so far the radiator and shroud are the only thing out of place.

    Fan shroud

    I was attempting to move my car trailer with the hook on the bucket of my L1500DT, I didn’t realize the weight of the snow had pulled the brake cable. So, pulling multiple times the last good tug, something bent and smoke bellowed out with a hellish sound. Turned it off and the radiator and...

    Now that it's running great, anyone interested in buying an L1500DT. New tires, clutch, disc. Hard to start but runs great once started. Selling everything and moving into an apartment. Also have a 16' car trailer to go with it. Has a 5' bucket and heavy duty grader blade.

    Figured it out. Didn't even need to change the disc/clutch. The linkage was bent down, so when I pressed the pedal it wasn't engaging. Now, works great.

    L1500 tire size

    Anyone still looking for the original tires for their L1500. I bought brand new ones and now I wish I would have found some turf wheels and tires that will fit my L1500DT. Anyone know what turf tires would fit?

    L1500DT Gears grinding Help

    While stopped, I can press the clutch and I can feel it move, also opened inspection plate and verified contact, and it will not go into gear. I did install correctly. I think I have it figured out as the problem is the linkage at the pedal.

    L1500DT Gears grinding Help

    OK, It is definitely the linkage. It's not straight across and is hitting this piece of angle, first pic. The safety switch metal on the pedal comes nowhere near the switch. Whoever took it apart before me lost the cotter pin and used the spring to hold it together.

    L1500DT Gears grinding Help

    OK , I got a tip to take the linkage apart from the pedal and use a wrench to see if I could manually get the clutch to disengage. Sure enough, it works. So now I have to figure out how to make my linkage longer to push the clutch fingers further in. Thank you.

    L1500DT Gears grinding Help

    Hello all, I could use some troubleshooting tips on my clutch/trans. When it gets warmed up, 30-45 min, I cannot get it to go into gear. So I drained the HYD fluid, cleaned the filter and no change. I split the tractor, replaced the disc, clutch, and release bearing and no change. I can...

    Also, the kit came with a pilot bearing, but, I don't see where it goes.

    I have a troubleshooting question about my L1500DT. I'm having problems getting it into any gear once it warmed up. Going into gear not running is fine and I can start it in gear and will drive fine, cannot change gears.
