    L185 locked in hi range

    I always get manuals when I buy tractors .... but I just bought this one and had a hydraulic issue to deal with. Usually I take someone along when buying a tractor but this one was 3 hours away. I knew when I bought it that it did not have independent pto nor did it have a 2 stage clutch. L185...

    L185 locked in hi range

    I bought this L185 a few weeks ago. I test drove it putting it in hi and low range not realizing that it was staying in high range when you shifted into low range. Also the PTO is engaged all of the time. When you shift lever it feels like you are moving a gear.... but maybe not:confused:

    New L185 developes hydraulic issue

    So next I removed return soft line to the block and I took the fill cap off and inserted the return line into the tunnel case and started tractor. Hydraulic oil circulated into the sump. So moved the wobble stick and the loader was working against itself putting a load on the engine. Wobble...

    New L185 developes hydraulic issue

    OK Dave I am reading your mind ... JD 655 loader is still on the 655. The 655 is open center..... But interestingly about 5 years ago I did buy a loader for my 1974 JD 830 utility tractor. It was a 147 JD loader off another model JD tractor ... Loader fits several models including mine and it...

    New L185 developes hydraulic issue

    I examined it carefully but will re-check. If there is a path from port to port then oil will take path of least resistance and will not circulate through the auxiliary valve which in this case is the loader valve. Dave directed me to a B7100 schematic of a power beyond. If you go there there...

    Differences between L175 and L185

    There is not a general topic discussion forum on this site so I have been posting my questions here. Seems like the only difference is that the L185 has final drives with bull gears in external housings located at the ends of the axle housings. The L175 has the bull gears inside the...
