Hello all,
New here and also a fairly new owner of a Kubota L1500. There is alot of great information here and I am glad that I found this place. I must admit that I did not research this tractor before I bought it. I knew that it was a Japanese tractor when I bought it but did not know about gray market tractors and Kubota's lawsuits and such. I bought it from my neighbor for a good price and very happy with the tractor.
I have a few questions about servicing the tractor.
1. I changed the oil, but when I went to the NAPA store their manual did not list an oil filter for the L1500. I had been told that this was the same as the L175, which their manual did list. So I got the oil filter # 1034 and it looks exactly the same size and fit fine. I put that filter on my tractor, but this site lists the oil filter from NAPA for the L1500 as # 1342.
2. I changed the fuel filter and air filter as well but they were cross referenced the same as this site lists them.
3. I would like to change the transmission/hydraulic fluid, can anyone tell me what fluid to use and how much? Also what screens and or filters should be cleaned or replaced when doing this?
Thanks!
