Thanks Wolfman, I downloaded the correct one, the operators manual is in there as well. After some comparing schematics with what I see on the tractor it seems to match the L235 spot on. The front "pipe" axle was a dead giveaway! Like I said it needs a starter and a battery to get...

My mother in law has been begging me to take an old Zen noh ZL 2000 standing by her window for the past 2 years now. Her husband has fallen into dementia after an accident and is not allowed to drive anymore. I remember he got it started up once, so it was running before. Visually it has no...

Gidamit, I never closed this tread from my side, apologies. From the Japanese/French B5100D-B5100E Manual... just beautiful... Dirt has entered through the oil seal(10) and went between the pipe(1) and the shaft(12) through the bushing(9) making the terrible noise to pile up in the joint...

Hi All, Apologies for the late reply. The rice season is basically over and I can get my little tractor back in the shop to work on it. In the past 4 Months all she needed was a new Fan-belt. I am highly impressed and proud of this machine. Ok so, D2Cat, I never knew about the release bearing...

Hey there, I'm not too familiar with the 1800 series, but I am rebuilding a Zennoh 2000 and had the same problem. There is a 'Hydraulic Screen' bolt in the return line that bolts the line to the hydraulic fluid chamber. If it is even lightly clogged the 3pt starts acting slow and soon after...

Hi all, First let me give thanks to all the post that has helped me getting my tractor up and running. I am in Thailand. I am not Thai. Got a Japanese B5001 in about 90% condition with a rs900 rotovator. Full checkup and service, and it was a go! I noticed in 5th and 6th gear when running...
