Thank you for the reply Russel. I will replace the Hydraulic pump seal. I will also have a look at the manual and see what type of seal is used between engine and transmission. Since there was water in the transmission, It is possible that corrosion on shaft or seal damage there is allowing...

I wanted to spray my vineyard on a couple weeks ago. Two rows in I noticed oil bubbling out of the gear lever cups, engine dipstick and several other places. The previously clean transmission oil was clearly contaminated with engine oil as it started getting a black tint. I suspect that the...

Could it be a worn out pump/ corroded sleeve of the 3pt hitch/ bad o-ring seal om lift piston? while oil is cold it still (only just)works, but as it heats up and thins, it leaks through faster than pump can supply, causing it to stop working. Both my pump and sleeve is in really bad shape, yet...

Is 5 not better than 6? It might have 30 hours of light trailer pulling on it since last service.

Thank you for your replies. My L185 is quite old and have metal cups around the gear levers. There might be rubber underneath, but I will have to investigate. Some new questions come to mind now... How much water is too much? (since you will not get rid of all the contaminated oil and water...

Hi All, Landed here as I can do with some advice on a old L185 and contaminated transmission oil. I replaced transmission oil about 5 years ago (tractor is on very light duty and I have finite budget) The hydraulic lift stopped working soon after I last serviced. wanted to top up oil now since I...
