    L1500 reverse gear

    I changed out the reverse gear in my 1500 bout a month or more. didn't even split the tractor. Was stalling on a steering box rebuild when i finished stripping the reverse gear so i had to take the steering box off anyways. The two bolts for the reverse shaft retainer can be gotten too from...

    early model cartridge oil filters on a L1500

    No answer as of yet. I just purchased the entire assembly. With the recent passage of the health care plan here in the US i won't have to work anymore so i can afford these simple frills without any retributions.

    My plow project...

    Wouldn't a class like that try to keep you from plowing then apologize to every piece of land you have ever affected in a bad way as a result of your plowing. Then you'd be stuck going to month long meetings in the fall when the urge to plow would be the greatest and drink large amounts of...

    3 point lift?

    I wasn't try to diagnose the problems. Just showing the OP where the hyd. screen is on his tractor and how to tell when it's had enough fluid dumped in it. I suspect that filling that cavity up to the fill hole would be an excessive waste of hyd fluid maybe even another 5 gallon pail. Which...

    3 point lift?

    http://www.orangetractortalks.com/2009/10/hydraulic-filter-suction-screens-everything-you-wanted-to-know/ sounds like you are overfilling with hyd fluid. This orange square headed bolt is the indicator when she is full up. http://www.orangetractortalks.com/kubotagallery/?image=95

    L1500dt

    http://www.orangetractortalks.com/kubotagallery/?image=95 This orange colored square bolt just in front of the clutch pedal is the inspection hole for the level of your hyd fluid. If fluid comes out when you remove the bolt you have enough in there. It's a common reservoir for the tranny...

    Greasing throwout bearing on L175

    There is an "inspection" plate bolted onto the side of your tractor with 2 each 12mm bolts just forward of your brake pedal(s). Remove this cover and the zerk will be staring back at you.

    steering box rebuild

    Imagine that! Thanks Vic! If you will entertain just one more question from the village idiot, I'd be obliged. The alignment marks on the end of the sector shaft. Does it go all the way across the width? -0- What happens if the line on the pitman arm isn't in line with those on the sector...

    steering box rebuild

    does the upper bearing, the one above the ballnut, come already installed on the shaft? I can't seem to remove the old one so it plows me on figuring how the new one would go on the shaft?

    steering box rebuild

    My steering wheel rotates 1/3 of the way before engaging the wheels so I was looking through the parts breakdown on Messicks trying to make a list of what all was needed to rebuild a steering box. This was all i came up with 34150-16220 BEARING (x2) 34150-16420 GASKET 09500-26387 SEAL...

    grading and leveling

    When i'm digging i like to have the sharpest angle on the blade, short top link, when it comes time to level i run out the top link to tilt the front blade up and push the back one down. Just my personal preference.

    grading and leveling

    It's never too late in Middle Georgia! Thanks for the ideas Eric. I've done lots of practicing and come up with the idea that a hydralic top link would be a very helpful addition.

    grease fittings

    The two fittings for the pedals won't take any grease. I've taken some off before and worked the valve with a allen key and even ran grease thru them before putting them back on. Once reinstalled, no dice. Best i figure is that the old hard grease that was in the fitting is also blocking the...

    Dry liner removal and installation in a Z750 eng L175????????

    Awesome write up! Now i know where to take mine. :eek::D What was the thought behind the temp gauge? Which, by the way is a top notch job on adding it to the cluster. Was it purely as a back up indicator or is the whistle hard to hear? I've thought about fabing up something to take the...
