Recently bought a Zen Noh ZL2202 and am having trouble with the lift. It will only come up when turning the speed dial to the "fastest" position. It comes up, but very slowly. Anyone have this experience before with this model?

Also, i am having trouble finding parts for my tractor. Looking for oil filter/oil type and hydraulic filter/oil type. Any help is appreciated!

I don't know the tractor at all. Common things to check would be hydraulic fluid level and whether there's some kind of clogged screen or a bad hydraulic filter. You could also have bypass leakage within the lifting cylinders themselves. I don't know how old the tractor is or how much use it's seen.

Look at the articles ( menu at the top) to find the crosses for the filters for that model.
Slow three point lift is almost always fluid flow issues, either a clogged intake filter, failing pressure relief valve, mal adjusted feedback linkage, or pump failure.

I think its a Kubota l2201., they were made by Kubota in the 80s..

If it goes up slow your pump seals are probably worn or your sucking air someplace in the hydraulic pickup before the pump.. or your lift valving is leaking.. or the the bypass valve spring is worn.. or cloged filter..

I would check the filters first.. then find a work manual and find the bypass spring and so forth.. I would check what kind of hydraulic pressure its making that will tell you if the pump is bad or you have a air leak

Finding out which one is the hard part.

Yes a ZL2202 and a L2202 are the same tractor. ;)
You ( or others interested) can read the article (from the menu above) on what a Zen-Noh means to Kubota when it comes to tractors.
