Free Zen-noh ZL2000

[RicePaddyFrog]

My mother in law has been begging me to take an old Zen noh ZL 2000 standing by her window for the past 2 years now. Her husband has fallen into dementia after an accident and is not allowed to drive anymore. I remember he got it started up once, so it was running before. Visually it has no battery or starter motor, and the front tires are shot.
I think he stripped it for beer money.

Would be nice to have a runner with a trailer, and to do some rough ploughing in the harder winter soil, take the strain off my frog. Anyway...
What is the Kubota equivalent of this tractor? L2000E ? And what manual can I use? Will post pic soon!

Go to kubotabooks.com and download the l185-l355 manual that should help you out.

There was no direct cross over for that model.

Thanks Wolfman, I downloaded the correct one, the operators manual is in there as well. After some comparing schematics with what I see on the tractor it seems to match the L235 spot on. The front "pipe" axle was a dead giveaway!

Like I said it needs a starter and a battery to get troubleshooted and maybe a steering wheel as I just pulled it right off as I got on to it

...If it starts up and clutch to go through gears, it is worth a fixup!

Will post results soon!
