Hi Everyone, Okay I was given (with some stipulations) my dad's L175 (he now has a L2250) and some implements. 915 hours, engine was rebuilt 100 hours ago due to Gas being added to the Fuel (Never Loan Tractor Without Guidelines On Use!!!).
So here are my first few questions... more to follow I am sure
also 3 pic's in the gallery (Have more if needed):

1. What is the year? S/N: L1500 40757 I asked my local Kubota Dealer and he was unable to go back that far with his books. I have the Service Manual and 2 IPB's (1972 and a 1978). The Tach in the 1972 is the same as mine. Oil pressure only inside the Tach.. No charge light in the tach. It "DONT" have the Special badge on the right hood as Vic's L175 does in the gallery pictures although it does have the hand rails on the back fenders.
2. FEL has a 2990 in black decal and it is (was) white in color. My dad bought it later from a friend who did not know what kind it was either. Anyone have a idea? BTW, it works fantastic on the L175 and the bucket is 38 inches.
3. How do you remove the headlight bulb? From research I think the bulb is a 6235Y. Would it be better to replace/update the socket or does the 2 headlights provide enough forward lighting in snow?
4. My fuse cover is missing.. are the fuses just wires... cause that's all there is in the holder.. should/can I change these to the tube style fuse and if so what are they rated at? I am pretty sure this is why the fender turn signal lights do not work and my horn also and will know after I use my meter to trace the power.
That's enough for now.. any info would be much appreciated for those wondering I was given a Thrasher Mower, Rototiller, 6 foot grader, a 3pt "Ripper" frame??? and a Post Hole Digger with 6 & 10 inch augers... oh and a sickle too... lot's of toys to play with
