L1500DT Fluids

[Brisscott]

Hi all. Because of the difficulties trying to obtain any manuals for this tractor [which I have just bought] I am looking for the following information:
Engine oil
Gearbox oil
Front and rear diff oil
PTO fluid
Swivel hub grease
Radiator coolant
Anything I have left out?

Any info on the above as well as where to fill and how to check levels would be appreciated.
Thanks
Scott

I found this link with good info. http://www.kubota.com/PART/PartsLookup.aspx

Here is a link to the L175/L225DT manual, US equivalents to the L1500DT.
This should help.

(L175 for the engine, transmission, etc, L225DT for the 4WD)

Thanks for the help. The section on cooling does not specify what type of coolant and what the ratio is to mix with water. I presume these tractors need anti-freeze of some sort?

50/50 mix on antifreeze. I use the antifreeze marked for all makes and models

Bear in mind that the l1500 doesn't have a water pump. It uses a thermosyphon system to circulate coolant.
