Hey all, question on my L185 It's back on mowing duty for my small two acre field, with a 5' Woods finish mower. Does fine, mowed a few times this year, but today it had an issue. Got ~ halfway done and it bogged a little, then surged - rpm dropped til it almost died then it jumped back...

Heh, I did tear a filter in half over the weekend... Went to swap out the diesel fuel filter, what should have taken a few min took 30. Seems like everything else on this new-to-me L185 has been taken care of, but that fuel filter had been there a while. It didn't come off without a...

Sure, I get there might be a little leakage due to the lack of an expansion tank, but in this case my little Kubota got a bit too hot (blocked radiator), so it emptied out most of the small reservoir built into the top of the radiator. And thanks for the rundown on coolant types. I'll just...

Finally got around to getting my L185 out to mow an overgrown field. It did great, except that ~ 2 hours in (I was mowing slow, 3rd low) I noticed the steering rod was damp and a trickle of fluid was flowing out the whistle. Shut it down and let it cool, the flying debris had fully coated...

's actually grease lines, previous owner liberally hit every grease fitting. There is a bit of rust on this mower (mostly surface rust where paint got scraped off), but the wheel shafts are just greasy. I set the deck at max height this afternoon so I could mow a somewhat questionable patch...

Thanks guys Spacers, 's how you set cut height. There is a little spring there to presumably provide a little give On a side note, I was looking at Sitrex / Caroni finish mowers and really the only complaint people had on them was that the caster wheel bars occasionally bent. Don't think...

Hey guys Picked up a used Frontier GM1060R for my L185, it's got Woods stamped on the gearbox. Deere has it listed as rated for 15 - 40HP, so my 17HP L185 should handle it alright. I'm a little curious about the chains running down from the top link Most other finish mowers have solid...

Stopped by the Kubota dealer over the weekend and picked up a new air, oil, and fuel filter. The filters on the tractor were all Kubota brand, so that's kinda nice. Got the oil changed, put in 15w-40 Rotella. The oil that came out was pitch black, but I guess diesels dirty their oils a...

Cheers guys. What shape suitcase weights best suit this tractor? Looking around they come in various shapes and sizes. Front tires are actually falling apart Though they do appear to hold air, 's likely time And thanks Russel, will send a PM. Checked your past topics and saw you dealt...

So about a month ago I bought my first property with 2.5 mostly clear acres. Since then I've been kinda tossing around the idea of picking up a compact tractor to play around with. My grandad had a pair of B-series Kubotas that were rather tough little things, so I was leaning in that...
