    Now a L185 owner

    I got my L185 almost a year ago. Still amazed at the power such a little tractor has. My first diesel, I have found that the tips and videos by Service Dept VIC were a Godsend. I hope you have as much fun with yours as I have had with mine.

    Did I add too much?

    Your local library will often have repair manuals. If they do not----ask the librarian to order one. I was relieved to find a service manual for my L185 at the library. Like a previous poster says-----watch ebay and one will turn up sooner or later.

    Transporting my L185??

    Hauling my L185 approximately 125 miles. My question is..... After the tractor is strapped down to the trailer and the wheels chocked, do you put the transmission in neutral or leave it in gear? Was wondering if the constant rocking back and forth is hard on the gears? Thanks for your answers.

    Need help with key positions on L185

    Great forum. Videos by Service Department Vic are amazing. Just took possession of a L185. Runs like a top. My key ignition switch has four positions going from left to right. Number three is for headlights on. What are the other three stops for and which one do I use for everyday work...
