Hey joel, That's definitely different than a 1501 but it looks like it would be similar in contruction. I read in another post of yours that your brakes were found to be covered in oil due to a leak. I would imagine if u removed your brake cover and whatever hub or rotor is under there, that...

Just thinking outloud here but I am not familiar with a l1500 but I believe it uses a dry brake system. Whereas the l1501 uses a wet brake system so I'm not even certain if the rear axle seal replacement I described for the 1501 even applies to you. Maybe some one else can confirm.

Jack up the side u are changing the seal on about 3-4". U will only lose maybe a litre of oil.

Hey Joel, It's about as simple as it looks. Jack up the offending side so that u don't have to drain all the oil. Take out the final drive drain plug and drain. Remove the wheel, undo and remove the ring of bolts on the final drive as u see pictured, if the gaskets are really old or dry you...

Negative. Everything is brand new looking/feeling in there. The outboard side of the seal cavity that is exposed to the elements was packed with sand and grass etc. Years of sand being in there helped the seal wear the nice groves in the sacrificial sealing surface. (thanks kubota for...

Heres a few pics of inside the final drive of a 1501 for those interested. Just replacing the leaky axle seal. Everything looks new like the day it was built in there. Eric

Hey all, just for fun i used my rpm measuring tool, and grabbed the rpms of the different pto speeds for those curious. All numbers are as accurate as the tach on my kubota. 1st gear @ 2410 = 540 PTO 2nd gear @ 1862 = 540 PTO 3rd gear @ 1298 = 540 PTO 4th gear @ 1009 = 540 PTO Mind you, you...

Heres another water temp guage install for those interested. Machined my own inline probe adaptor to fit a gauge assembly from the local hardware store. Had to remove about 1" of length from the water outlet spigot (front flange of the head). The guage i bought was a nice small 1.5" one so...

Thanks Vic! You hit the nail on the head all the way around! It came from Flaman in PA, and i was told it was probably the last one they will be importing as they lost their contact overseas or something to that effect. I have also been in contact with Jim and Sue! She is top notch and was...

Got a new manual, have discovered the brakes are a 'wet' type of brake. Ordered all new orings and gaskets as well as new brake disks just because for my L1501DT. I ordered all the parts at my local kubota dealer for a L185DT. As soon as i get back home from work i will remove the final drives...

Ordered my parts today. Thanks again for the Serial Number. No questions asked. Kubota dealership very helpfull as long as you dont tell them you have a grey market tractor.

the service manual comes broken out into about 20 chapters or sections. Have a look for the PDF called "index" and it will show you how its layed out. Dont worry its all there.

ok i guess you cant post full hyperlinks. Just use the first part of that hyperlink and it will take you to the manual site. cheers

Perfect. That is exactly what i wanted and i am sure the dealer will be happy with that. Thanks and very much appreciated Dick. Eric

No i dont have a L185DT. I didnt tell the dealer i had a L1501DT because i didnt want to play the game to see if he sells me parts or not so i told him i have an L185DT but said i didnt have the S/N handy. I am sure the serial number for my L1501DT does not match up with any L185DT. Thats why...

Hey guys, Just looking to order some parts for my L1501DT. I need some brake parts but my kubota dealer wants a serial number for my "L185DT" before he will get me anything. Anybody on here got a L185DT that i could use their serial number to order parts for? I just want to make sure i have...

http://kubota.servicemanualvault.com/Kubota-L185-Service-Manual.html Best $9.95 i have spent this week! Downloaded the L185 manual for my L1501DT today. Everything ive looked at in the manual so far as been the same.

Yup, everything has been disconnected. Its inside somewhere. Found a parts book for a L185 and it seems similar. It appears as thou that shaft goes inside and rotates a brake type disc that backs up against the housing with ball bearings mounted between them inside little indentations. Once...
