Hi All,
Landed here as I can do with some advice on a old L185 and contaminated transmission oil.
I replaced transmission oil about 5 years ago (tractor is on very light duty and I have finite budget)
The hydraulic lift stopped working soon after I last serviced. wanted to top up oil now since I built a brush cutter that would require the lift to work when I noticed that the oil looks milky. I assume that water must have gotten in somewhere.
Q: the L225 manual that I have states it needs 23quarts of SAE80 oil would this apply to the l185 as well?
Q: I bought 20l of Fuchs oil for farm equipment, suitable for transmission and Hydraulics. Would this be OK?
Q: where should I start looking for the water leak on this tractor. A quick inspection yielded no obvious sources.
Any tips or advice would be much appreciated.
