Thanks for the info guys. I tryed to run it in 4th and it felt like the mower was trying to lift off. I will have to get my hands on a tack and see what RPM I am getting at the PTO in the different gears. What would the higher gears be used for? Are most impliments not built for 540 RPM?

Good day, which speed should I use to get 540 RPM at the PTO? Thanks.

I am soon in need of new tires for my l1801dt and would like to change from the deep paddel AG tires to an industrial type of tire so I dont do as much damage to my lawn when its wet. Does anyone know a direct replacement so I can still use my rims. Has anyone did this and is there any...

The Valvoline tech line just replyed to my e-mail and according to them, Valvoline Unitrac Hydraulic Oil-3098 is a direct replacement to Kubota UDT.

Is there any other hydraulic oil that I could use in my transmission other than Kubota UDT. My local tractor supply store carries Valvoline unitrac tractor hydraulic oil-3098 as well as Valvoline anti-wear hydraulic oil-3015. Would either of these be a sutible substitute? Tractor in question...

What would you guys recomend for me to do to my L1801DT with an unknown service history? Should I change all the fluids? What oils/filters do I use as I have no manual? What else should I look at? Is there any common problem areas that I should look at? This machine seems to run well and I...

How does the pre heat (glow plugs) work on this tractor? Also my ignition key has 4 positions and I dont know what they are all for. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks everyone expecialy Service Department Vic. Mine must have the creeper gear as it has the short sideways leaver on the transmission housing. I bought this tractor to fit down my trails in the bush and I think it is going to work great. I dont know what year it is 80-85?, buy it only has...
