any expert out there knows if a mitsubishi d1850fd tractor has an equivalent.i heard that satoh tractors were made by mitsubishi. so there may be a model satoh with the same make up like d1850fd.

Mit,
Go to Valley Power, click on the technical data link on the left. You will find a wealth of information compiled by Mr. Ed Krampitz that may answer some questions. It has helped me as well as many others.

The closest US model is the S670. I have parts books & supply parts using the D1850 parts book. The ST4820/1840 is the Satoh equivalent.

Did you make sure the 3pt knob under the ft. of the seat is open and there is hydraulic fluid in the tractor.

mit · May 22, 2007

i did not check the fluid level. the valve is midway.i do not know which way is on.the seller said that it has fluid he changed before shipping.it has jd 20 hydralic oil.he also has a quick connect in the hydralic line.it looks like it is connected.

what does it mean when a diesel engine give off blue smoke? not heavy but bearly visible if running in a shaded area.

anyone have a kpx backhoe attached to their tractor. what is your opinion of it?the price seems reasonable.

oliver28472 · Jun 6, 2007

Mit,
I use 15W40 chevron diesel rated oil in the engine. Rotella is good too. Whatever you used make sure it if for a diesel engine. My transmission and differential has common reservoir on both my tractors. (smaller than yours) If you are going to use a backhoe, loader or other hydraulic stuff and your 1850 has a common reservoir then you can use hydraulic oil rated for gear drive transmissions. It is available at Tractor Supply, Wal Mart, parts stores etc.. I buy mine in 5 gallon pails and it says what it is for on the bucket. It usually gives a list of brands it will be compatible with. Look for one compatible with JD 303. (pretty common). Both my tractors puff a little smoke, not much.

thank u much for advices.i really appreciate. this is my first diesel tractor.learning something new every day.

with the loader attached now i have to recheck the oil in the hydralic case.there is no dip stick. what do i do?

oliver28472 · Jul 16, 2007

There should be a check plug on the side of the trans/rear end case. On my tractors it just looks like a bolt that has nothing attached to it. Put the oil in the top and when you see it running out the side, your done. It's a little messy but if you are just topping off that how it is done.

can u put up a pic. i looked and found a nut on the clutch side. i found the oil rotella 15w40 at auto barn. 12 dollar gal. i found trans/hyd oil at john deere dealer 58 dollar for 5 gal bucket.

oliver28472 · Jul 17, 2007

Can't post a pic cause I don't have the same tractor as yours but generally they work similar. Try other sources for the transmission/hydraulic oil. Check with Tractor Supply, Wal Mart, etc. Per other posts on TBN they have it. 58 is too high for trans/hydr. oil. Think I saw it for $30.00 at TSC 3 days ago.

BillRodgers · Jul 17, 2007

You have a level plug on the right side of the transmission behind, and about on the same level as, the differential lock pedal. Send me an email and I'll send a photo with its location. Better yet, consider buying a operators/maintenance manual from me. Bill - satohparts.com
