I just bought a L285 and trying to fix a couple things on it. I am new to this tractor and know little about it.
First question is I need to replace the temp gauge and I have read about putting a mechanical gauge in the upper radiator hose but I also read that someone said there is a plug below the oil filter that you can take out and screw the new temp gauge in . Does anyone have any advise about taking this plug out and maybe a pic making sure im looking at the right bolt/plug?
Second is the tractor seems to idle a little high but since the tach doesn't work im not sure of the actual RPM's. How do I adjust the idle?
Thanks for any help
