Well, I got it all working! Showing ~14.4V across the battery now when idling at what looks to be around 800rpm (but not sure how accurate the tachometer is!). Special thanks to billrigsby whose wiring diagrams were invaluable!

Well I have the alternator mounted and wired in, but I'm only getting ~ 12.8 V across the battery. So I guess it isn't getting turned on. My charge lamp isn't lighting up so I'm going to check the continuity on that as well as my IG lead.

I wanted to redo the electrics anyway as the indicators stopped working a while back... If this alternator doesn't work I'll look at doing what you did. Did you keep the external regulator?

I got an alternator with an internal regulator. Over the next few weeks I'll be wiring it up and hopefully provide some good news in an update!

OK thanks I might try that because getting an external regulator here in Australia is about half the cost of an 40A alternator and I'm pretty sure the current alternator needs an overhaul too. I have got the wiring diagrams (including billrigsby's excellent one) and I have been wanting to...

Did you get any further with this? My external regulator has died and I'm having trouble finding a replacement, so I thought replacing the alternator with one that has an internal regulator would be a reasonable course of action.

OK update time! I managed to get it open with a putty knife and a very fine chisel. There was no damage to the case itself luckily! I now have the control valve in parts and the o-rings are very hard and flat so I'm in the process of replacing those. Then I will re-assemble, use a tube of...

Hi again all, I have an L1501DT (similar to L175/L185) and I'm trying to get to the control valve inside the rear hydraulics group. I'm having a heck of a time trying to take the top off the casing. I've even tried wrapping a hardness around it and lifting it off with my BX2360's FEL. All 10...

Thanks everyone :-). I'll wait a few more days until kubotabooks is back up. My state library also has the shop manual so I will take a trip in and photocopy the appropriate parts. Cheers, josh

Hi all, I'm looking for a parts diagram with parts numbers for the 3 point hydraulics system on an L1501DT. Specifically, I'm looking at the main piston, the sleeve that the piston moves inside, and the O-rings for the piston. Looks like my little orange beauty has had a fair bit of corrosion...

Hi from Western Australia! How did you go with replacing your hydraulic piston rings? I am about to do the same on my L1501DT but I don't have any manuals so I'm going to try and wing it...

Looking forward to the pics as my L1501DT has the same issue. Cheers!

Re: L1501DT key switch wiring Thank you so much! My tractor is alive again :) Now on to changing all of the oils!

Re: L1501DT key switch wiring Thanks for your help Louis, I'll post back if I get everything working how it used to!

Hi everyone :) I'm hoping someone can help me out because I can not find a wiring diagram for my L1501DT's switch anywhere. All of the wiring diagrams I have seen so far (L185, L235) have a different number and orientation of connectors. I've attached a photo of the 6 connectors (two are...
