FYI a 45lb barbell plate fits both on the outside and inside of the wheel, slips right over the axle if mounting on the inside. Perhaps a craigslist search in your area might turn up some?

Sold in one day!

Kubota L185dt loader - 1399.9 hours - 4x4, runs flawlessly, starts in the coldest weather, glow plugs work great, tires are loaded, kubota roll bar new last year ($300+), ROPS lights from ROPSlights.com ($250+), two facing front, one rear facing, controlled by two switches mounted on fender...

thanks ant, if you were closer perhaps! Just out of curiosity, what size blade is that?

Complete shot in the dark, I'm looking to buy a front dozer blade for an L185DT, is it the model KUFD210? I currently have the 1200(i think that;s the model) loader on it, but I no longer need the loader. If I can't find the blade, I would end up selling the machine with the loader. I would...

lights from ropslights.com are awesome. Guy emails you back almost instantly if you have any issues also. I have them on my l185dt and they are very well made. Two pointed front one pointed back, sometimes i wait until it gets dark to do what i need to do just to use the lights.

my b6000 had a switch wired in from the previous owner for a back light, he did it the right way with fuses and relays(i think thats what its called), and i have a 55w flood light hooked up to it and it works awesome. Never had a problem

i did check the fuses on the dash...when you say spade terminal, what does that mean?

ok well i replaced the bulbs today....still no low beams, before i start tearing things apart, are there any suggestions on troubleshooting?

ok well turns out the guy i bought the tractor from thought of making some repairs as the box of parts he gave me contained 3 new forks and some other goodies. I had those all replaced and used the tractor quite a bit today and didn't have one problem with it.....thanks for the help

Congratulations on your retirement from property maintenance....I'm thinking 8-10K$ depending on condition???

oh man those are awesome diagrams thanks so much

sorry if i misinformed....the only reason a spring popped out was because i tried to play mechanic and take off the cover by the shifter....in doing so, i lost a spring as it stuck to the cover when i pulled it out. I'm looking at my parts diagram now and there are supposed to be balls with...
