Its a V1512 engine, which was used on models that ranged from 26-30HP. The axle is infact steel. It has a cast pumpkin that bolts into a steel frame and the axles welded to it and then bolts to the cast knuckles for steering. As far as I can tell they only used this on the sunshine kubotas in...

Thanks for all you feedback. I guess I should be more detailed. It is a 30HP 4wd with power steering. I know I would need ballast weight it I lifted anything very heavy. My main need is to move dirt and equipment around the shop. I dont think I would be moving anything over 1000 pounds and...

Its 4wd and does have power steering.

Mine is the 4wd model. It is a stamped steel axle however instead of cast. It seems to be pretty beefy but still not sure.

I bought a new to me kubota I think L1-185 ( so far cannot find any markings to confirm model). It has the stamped steel front axle instead of the cast that are on all the American Kubotas. From what I can find on youtube, most of these did not use loaders in the countries they were marketed to...

Could you help me with manuals also? I have one that looks like this but I think mine is an L1-285, so far I cannot find any numbers on the machine. If you can tell me where to find a model number it would be a great help.

Can you share you connections to connect the switches for the lift and for the leveling cylinder. I just purchased a similar tractor ( can't find the model so far). I'm not sure which solenoid does what at this point and it would speed things up a lot if you can share. Thanks

So should I just replace the front plug or should I check to see if the back one is also out. Is there a way to tell without pulling the cam? So far I'm trying to get the r front cover off. I cant find any bolts I missed but it just doesnt want to break loose. Afraid to put too much pressure on it.

5 psi when cold

I unplugged the glow plug module and all is working now. I think it had went bad, The light was on all the time.

You have all helped me with several problems getting my L185 running. Discovered that it only has 5 lbs of oil pressure. I'm assuming that the cam plug has come out. Question, does the 185 only have one plug in the front end or does it have a plug on both ends? Any other things to check with...

Could someone give me the list and location of the fuses on the L4310. All the writing has faded on the cover and I dont know which fuse goes to what. Its the one with the hydraulic clutch but mechanical transmission. I have a short or something thats draining the battery and want to eliminate...

My best bud hooked up the battery backwards on his L4310 and he said now the warning lights and all will not come on and nothing works. I can see frying diodes but what else could have fried that would keep everything from working? Thanks for any help you can give.

So, in the beginning it wouldn't start. Found the problem, hydraulic line was plugged after some sort of accessory was removed and pump resistance wouldn't let engine turn fast enough to start. Now a new problem. one injector is pumping air. I've bled lines and the #1 injector keeps pumping air...

So since I last asked for help on My L185, I've got it starting very easliy and thought it was all good. I let it set and idle tonight and it surged like someone hit the foot throttle. It settle back down and then did it again. Any ideas??? Thanks in advance for all your great ideas. Charlie

Followup : tonight I removed the block in the pressure line and made a new one with open flow through it. Now the tractor starts very easily and sounds good. 3 pt works like it should. I didn't have time to put a load on it but hopefully I didn't fry the pump. Thanks you all for your great...

Yes it turns easily by hand

It doesn't have a loader but after sleeping on it ( a long time thinking be I could go to sleep) I'm betting that there was a loader on it before I bought it. ( I bought it not running). I'm thinking that the block in the line which has two plugs in it was the supply to a loader and when they...

I posted last week about my L185 not starting after new rings, injectors and starter. Problem solved but now I have a new problem. We pull started it and it started but after about 2 minutes the hydraulic pump go so hot it started smoking. I pulled the pump off and it not starts right up. The...

I have an L185 bought it not running. I've put in new rings and not it hits on both cylinders but will not run after disengaging the starter. It seems like it is producing more smoke than normal but since I haven't seen it run I'm not sure. It looks like someone may have taken injector pump out...
