Hi.
I have a few questions about my early 70's Kubota L225.
There is an oil cap in the centre of the housing below the steering wheel. What is this for? Should it be gear oil or hydraulic oil and how do I check the oil level? There is a nut under the seat on the LHS that looks like it could be for checking the oil level. When I opened it oil came out at least.
Is the 3 point linkage lifted by a hydraulic pump or is it mechanical?
The lift is very slow, weak and juddery. There is a small oil leak from one of the seals on the arms. I'm guessing this is why it is not working properly.
Is there a hydraulic pump in this machine or is it something you can add on? I dont see any hose fitting around the pto on the back.
I have bought new filters and plan to change all oils as I was advised to do this yearly even with light use. This a good idea?
Apologies if these questions are very basic. I plan to use the tractor more from now on and dont want to do damage. I do dabble with mechanics out of interest and necessity in equal parts but not tractors as of yet and I'm no expert.
Thanks for any advice proffered.
