If you have the old one. Do a google search for your area for radiator repair. Should pop up the local guy. And see about getting the radiator recored. Or better yet, I found one for an l175, with the z750a motor. Link shows the measurements so you can compare to yours.

I went to Ebay, typed in Kubota L185 radiator. There's bunches of them there.

Don't want new? Call Western Kentucky Tractor. Probably have used. (If you buy new you will not get the shroud, used usually includes the shroud)

Thanks for the help the one we got is so bad that its beyond repair local dealer says L 185 has been discontinued and today was told the L 175 radiator is the same size but the mounting bolts at bottom would have to be cut off and rewelded to fit the L 185 anyone know anything about this and how hard this is to do

New radiators are not inexpensive. Get the correct radiator. It may save your engine from overheating.

According to the listing the mounting is the same, or they couldn't be listed the way they are. They'd be getting too many returns and complaints.

Its likely what I call a will fit. All the bolt holes are already in position so the radiator will fit the models listed. Just keep the old radiator, so you can see the minute difference, in the bottom end...

If they don't have one they could advise you on what would fit.
