My father recently purchased a Kubota L1500 locally. I have a service manual on order for it, but I had a few questions that I hope you all don't mind I ask ahead of time.
Oil Filter - I ordered a 1342 filter but it is a canister filter and this tractor has a cartridge style on it. Any suggestions?
Dipstick - I can't seem to find any dipstick or a sight glass to see the oil level. Any recommendations for oil capacity before the manual arrives.
Fuses - Is there any suggested way to get rid of the old style fuses in place of newer blade automotive type fuses? The 10A fuse for the alternator seems to blow in short order (may need a larger fuse, but that was what was in it when we bought it).
The tractor seems to work great. We have used it sparingly in the last few weeks. It came with a Great Bend loader, 4' bush hog and a blade. I had to replace the aftermarket overrunning clutch and rebuild the gearbox on the bush hog, but other than that it seems in good condition. I am now going through and doing a complete service so we have a good starting point for a maintainence program.
Thanks,
Chris
