I might need your number in the future hahaha! It looks good.

Update- Took the whole radiator out and man there was some hidden chunks of dirt and old mud on certain parts of the rad shroud. I pressure washed the exterior and I can now see through it unlike before.

Nor Cal Realtor L175 w/bush hog

Hello everyone its been awhile since I was on here especiialy since the sites been nicely updated. Anyways two questions one is that I now have two types of greases I can use for the kubota but theyre different. I currently have the lucas inside the ole L175 but was wondering if this chevron...

So would just running straight distilled water be best for this coolant system? Also should I use a rust remover like thermocure to take any rust out before keeping the distilled water in it?

Hello everyone I wanted your input on what radiator fluid I should use in the L175 and also what cap it needs as well since its wearing out, I also need new radiator hoses and have seen a few sites that have those but nust wanted to double check, I went to napa once but they have a universal...

Just a quick update I put in the 5 gallon walmart supertech fluid they have thats trans/hyd fluid in it after I drained it. I was wondering how long this fluid would last?

Awesome thanks for that part #, on messicks they have it showing up but the gaskets a lot thicker than whats on it. Is that how it was originally?

So the rubber gaskets are very dry and brittle under those metal tabs. Is there a replacement number for these?

This bolt was very loose, actually both of them were loose I noticed this one always had some oil buildup while the other didnt. They both were loose and I was wondering if they had to be tightened down?

So I definitely know the wiring is messed up.... I will update with as many pics possible soon... I got the bolts off the tach one time and that shifts some wires behind it and it causes for the oil light and the other light to turn on even without the key in. Also I tryed to start the tractor...

Update, I pulled the tractor outside and got it lifted and had one end higher than the other and teyed to check the wheel bearings but it seems like theres no play and the other tire just turns with my force on the wheel .... so it won't stay put. Are my wheel bearings the real issue for the...

Ok so if there is play at the 12 and 6 position its bad bearings, and same if it has play in 3 and 9 position as well? Would I just get these bearings from the kubota dealer then? Also when I move the whole steering wheel do I try and move it up and down basically to make that back and forth...

Yes it did have a PO it has 1700+ hours I believe, and I can see some shady things done to it such as some red rtv type seals around the tranny and brake parts and also steering box.... I am not very good with wiring but if I provide some pics maybe that can help determine the issue?

Here's another thread for my L175, so I think something is horribly wrong with the wiring for my kubota since it does not have working lights anymore and this weird glow plug smell and also the key I put in and click 4 times to the right now only goes 2 clicks.... this was for my lights to work...
