So a few months back I changed the oil and filter on my L185. Within minutes of working the tractor bush hogging the oil light comes on. I was right by my shop and immediately pulled in and killed the engine. I posted on here about it and took the advice from several people. I replaced the oil...

Update! I took out oil pressure sensor and installed a pressure gauge. Cold idled at 65 psi. I ran it flat on the floor pulling a Bush hog for 30 min. After heating up it operated wide open pulling bush hog at 50 psi and idled got at 24 psi. So I'm saying I got lucky and have a bad pressure...

Thank you all for the replies. I stopped today and picked up a oil pressure test kit. It has a gauge and all the adapters for different threads. Gonna hook up to it tomorrow and see what happens. I'm hoping I can get lucky and it be a bad oil pressure sensor but we will see

Thank you sir

So I'm having the oil pressure light issue and I'm going through the steps to track down what's causing it. I have done lots of research and found lots of very helpful info. I'm going to pick up a adapter and pressure gauge tomorrow to check oil pressure. But I found something weird yesterday...

Thank you sir

How do you check the oil pressure relief valve on a L185?

Ok I will get my serial number tomorrow. Thank you

I have a 1979 L185 that I need to rebuild the hydraulic pump because of it leaking fluid over into the crank case. I found a few threads on this topic and say where a couple people said they got everything to do this for around $25. I got the part numbers off one thread also. Then I called...

Got my sticky brakes fixed. I was working around my shop all day yesterday so I started yesterday morning putting a little kroil penitrating oil on the pedal shaft on each side of the tractor and worked the pedals back and forth by hand about every 45 min. By yesterday afternoon both breaks...

Could you please send me the link to this service manual also? I'm having this exact same issue on my L185

Did you ever figure out a fix to the brake pedal sticking? On my L185 both brake pedals have been that way since I bought the tractor years ago

I do not have the other piece of the key so that's a no go. As far as the glow plug part the L185 has a separate switch on the opposite side of the dash for that. Now the key switch might have something to do with it also too but im not sure

I have a 1979 L185 that has the key broke off in the ignition switch. Every time I kill it I have to take the positive battery cable off. I found it online but I don't really want to pay $65-$85 for a ignition switch (37150-3182). Can you use any universal switch or does anyone have a part...

Thank you sir

Russell King I know this is a old thread but this is the exact problem I am having with my 79 model L185. I wrote the numbers down you had listed for the seals and O-rings. That is a big help. Do you remember if breaking the pump down was that hard to do? I am pretty mechanically inclined but I...
