Hi! Is there any way to get hold of the operating manual for my tractor (L185 model 1980)?

Thanks all for the input :)

Yeah the previous owner built the loader with parts he "borrowed" from his job at the Swedish loader manufacturer ÅLÖ. A bit like the Johnny Cash song "One piece at a time". It's slow but strong. It's in great original condition. I'll try to figure out what the lever does.

Will try that the next time I start her up. Yeah I like the tractor. :)

Yeah I will do a full investigation to the best of my mechanical knowledge. The previous owner mentioned something about a hydraulic output/connection on the back of that tractor that was used to tilt a trailer hydraulically (is that a word? :) ). Perhaps that's what it's for.

I've attached a picture of the little beauty :) Ah! Decompression. Would that help cold starting in any way? No the other lever is not related to the parking brake, that much I know. Could it have something to do with hydraulics?

Hi! I'm tempted to install a temperature gauge on my L185. Does anyone have any suggestions on best to do it?

Hi! Need some help on what the function of these levers are.

Problem solved! The lever was dislocated from the slot in on the shifting mechanism. Popped the lid and lined everything up! thanks for all the help!

Hmm the stick feels a bit floppy, yes. It feels like it sits comfortably in the fourth gear and if i try to pop it out of fourth it feels more floppy. I wouldn't say it feels completely loose and floppy. But then again it's hard to describe in text. It's definately not jammed in place. Is the...

Thanks for all the good replies! I'm on my way to try and break the damned thing open now, however the cover is stuck and I'm afraid to break anything if I use too much force. Any tips on how to open the cover gently? Also, does the cover gasket on an old tractor like this (1980) contain...

Ah! Just to be clear, the gearbox is in neutral when all those slots are aligned ? Does that mean that the gear forks are engaged in the correct position on the actual gears when i lower the assembly back into the gearbox? Also thanks for the translation! :D

The shop manual was a great help! However since english is not my native language i dont fully understand the following instructions. Im attaching a picture to this post. I dont understand where the neutral position of the forks and the sliding gears are. And what do they mean by holding the...

Thanks!

Theres a top cover that you can remove and move the forks and then another plate that comes off and then you can access the gears.
