So, I bought a new loader valve for my l185f over the winter. I finally put it on. Unfortunately it does not work properly. It has a float option. It's a dukes 1225bk ,it was supposed to be the right one for my tractor. The loader lever locks on the up position and on the down position. The...

1977 L185dt L185dt -50510 I'm going to pick this 1977 up in a couple weeks, it starts runs has a slight knock in it on the rear cylinder when cold. PO says was low on oil got hot and seized up but when it cooled off started right back up. The l185dt and the l245dt must share the same front...

So I am going to look at a l185dt that may have a spun rod or main. It looks to be well used. I may trade the PO for some items I have for it. This would be a long term project. I have a good l185f but the 4wd would be a plus.

So today I thought I would attack the fel bucket edge. I saved my old fisher cutting edge from last year. 5/8 thick . I cut the old one off and welded the fisher edge on. Weld all the way across on the inside and 6-4" spots along the back. I left it proud on the ends so I can reinforce from the...

For some reason I can't download any pictures since the site was down. I've tried several times and it keeps coming up with a error. I've downloaded with no problems in the recent past.

So I talked to the people at the rops program and have been put on the waiting list. I guess there funding is low right now. My cost would be $98.00 for the rops once they get to me.

So today I ran down the road with the 185 and got pulled over by a trooper. No rear lights. No ticket just a verbal warning. Nice guy lucky me. So the wiring is there for lights but I'll need to install a flasher switch in the dash , there's a spot for it and a flasher can. I don't know if...

So my tachometer gearbox is seized, I took it off and the engine side spins, and the cable side does not. I really could not find anything about it on the site. Search was not helpful for this.

So I'm asking, who has a kubota 185 with a backhoe? Will it handle it ok? I'm looking a a woods 7500 with a tank and pto pump. $1500. It does not have a subframe though. It is a 3pt hitch connection. Thanks pat

So I broke down and bought 4 new tires! 2 9.5-24 R1 and 2 4.00-15 3 rib tires. Also 4 tubes to go with them. I moved the l185f today and the left rear split open. I knew it was tired after last year, after I had to slime it but now there is no hope for it. So I bit the bullet and bought all 4 ,I...

I was having problems starting the tractor and narrowed it down to the ignition switch. I have had the tractor for at least 4 years and I've never used the lights because they didn't work , I really wasn't worried about it. So back to the switch. I took it out and it has 5 terminals but all the...

Anyone put forks on a l185 . It not a quick connect frame so options are slim. Thinking of bucket mounted forks . But I would lose some lenght.

I can pick up 245dt for the ride there. I have to winch it up on the trailer. Flat rear tires, water in engine. But it's 4x4 is the drivetrain the same as a 185dt? Figured I would ask. No mater what I am going on sat. To pick it up. It may be a good deal or a boat anchor.

I was moving some stone today I was working the l185 pretty hard trying to get all the stone moved and spread. I was back bladeing the stone and I noticed the oil light flickering. So I thought the wire was loose on the pressure sender. So I finished up parked it and let it cool down. So I just...

I was moving wood over the weekend and the normal engine clatter changed, it was all of a sudden louder and raw diesel smell with bluish smoke. The noise is a metallic clatter. It still starts right up but it really stinks. I have not had a chance to really look at it. Could it be a bad...

Loader valve, Victor, Sauer danfoss, Dukes, now QCC. On my l185 the loader valve is leaking on the raise lower valve. So I slid the spool valve out to replace the o-rings on each end in the housing. Now my bucket never floated and now I know why. At the end of the valve there is a rod that...

L185 general repairs. So I have been working on the l185 trying to square away all the po's work. I found the fuse blown in the dash and now the oil light is on. I changed the oil, checked the sender, wiring, but it leads to the low oil pressure in the engine. I have read about a plug in the...
