l185dt clutch question and loader capacity

[mdb6000]

Hello all,
Possibly adding another orange tractor to my collection tomorrow, so as I am unable to sleep tonight thinking about my possible new addition (you know you've been there) I had a few questions about it - L185DT: 1) does anyone know if it is a "dual clutch?" 2) does anyone know the lift capacity of the front loader? I have been searching the internet high and far with no luck on either of these questions. Thanks

First question I can answer. It's a single stage clutch. not sure about your second question.

I had a similar problem, middle blade would not tighten, and it was flattened retainer washers. Replaced the cupped washers and that solved the problem.

Bigtwin, partner I think you need a couple more cups of coffee this morning!

I think when that tractor came out there was no loader for it. As loaders became more popular for smaller tractors folks added them. So finding loader capacity for the tractor probably is not published. Numbers determined by experimentation!!
