Final update on this tank re-line: The paint expands a bit as it cures and there was enough left in the threads that it made it impossible to screw the threaded plug and the outlet valve into their holes! I had run both into their holes and used rags and q-tips to clean up the threads several...

@Runs With Scissors for the hole spacing in your drawing system (that I have never used and know nothing about) here is how it can probably be done. In general you draw the bolt circle (diameter the hole centers are set on) then draw one circle at the intersection of a radial line (from the...

By the way a true L185 is NOT a gray market tractor!

Gravity will still exert force on the loader so you may have your worry about that but when the tractor is not running and you move the joystick it should release any hydraulic pressure. The sun load can add pressure in the hoses though so you may have to worry with that.

Whole goods is through the sales department at a dealership and not the parts department. They are generally a complete kit to be added onto a tractor at purchase or after purchase. They are usually priced much lower than the individual parts. For example a rim with a tire mounted is cheaper...

If it is a small thing that a landscaper installed in a yard it is generally called a pond in Texas. Tanks cover steel things with a top and bottom that store liquid, stock water tanks in the ground and naturally occurring large “ponds”. Lakes are larger bodies of water that are usually man...

You may want to look at https://www.fitritehydraulics.com/ And for the frugal at heart, disconnecting the cylinder hoses from the valve will lock them in place also unless there is an internal leak in the cylinder. But you can’t adjust them until they are connected again.

To expand on what was stated above. The lock valve should be a double pilot operated check valve (DPOCV) similar to this https://ph.parker.com/us/en/product/pilot-piston-style-dual-pilot-operated-check-valves/cdph103p20-8t These are normally cylinder mount but can be mounted to the tractor end...

@old and tired has stated the resolution for your issue. @kubby 2013 has stated an issue with being too aggressive in the process. One of the issues with resolution is that the knob will turn both directions and reach a stop point. If you continue to try to turn past the stop point you will...

Well that explains why I couldn’t locate any connections like that in the illustrated parts lists! I saw the diagram you posted but didn’t recognize it as that pipe clamp!

I noticed that this “rubber” part seems to have a split in it. That may be there intentionally so you might look at the other side to see if there is one there also. I assume that is sealing the tube into the case and that is where it is leaking. You may be able to see it leaking or set up a...

Yes, but could you just let air out of the tires to get it in and out?

Yes, the ratio between front and rear rolling circumference can only be changed by a few percent, maybe 1to 2 percent (I don’t remember exactly)

Yes they are internal wet brakes and a disk style (not drum).

Kevlar is the “most durable” Nylon is (probably) more commonly used.

You might see if adding a 90 degree fitting at the upper coupler end on the hose would work better than just straight out. Then you can go upwards and loop back down to the cylinder connector.

See post #13-15 for something @D2Cat made for the FEL that seems like it might work for you! https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/mirrors-for-bx.43572/#post-813552

Do you know what this area has been rubbing against? I would eliminate the rub also, if that is possible. I would also eliminate the use of bolts as set screws to get rid of rotating projections that can cause injury.

That looks like what we get in Texas during most of our winter storms. Normally we just wait until tomorrow and it is gone. We did have that several days and several storms event in February 2021 when the utilities let the electrical grid of Texas nearly collapse and shut it down.

There is probably more than one safety switch on that tractor. Most likely it is the operator presence switch at the seat. There may be one on the HST treadle pedal that could cause the problem but I think that only limits it from cranking the engine if there is no signal that it is in...
