Thanks for those manuals I can really use those for information I was needing.I pulled the manuals off of a Gray Market only site in Japan.Possible the L185 was sold over there too? No idea on my end.
Agreed...do not pressure wash. You could damage things plus could easily blow off decals and things that matter. I have seen it happen. Just take care of it, use it and change oils, AF, etc when needed. Lots of things that sound good can diminish collectability, value and cause regret.
Ok thanks, I always park it inside, as far as where I got it I had been scanning the marketplace and craigslist for months looking for a tractor that looked good in what I considered my starter tractor price range of 5000 or less and this one popped up at 7:30 at night after I had gave up looking and started watching TV. I checked one more time at 10:00pm and there it was so I wanted to be the early bird on calling so I sent him a message to call me and the next morning he responded at 6 a.m. and I had him call me and as luck would have it he worked right up the road with some of my friends and said I could meet up after work with him and look at it. He already had 3 more people wanting to see it and I was first in line so I went and took a look. I liked what I seen he was asking 3500 I asked if he would take an offer and he said no he wanted to try to get 3500 so I was going to give 3500 and I asked if he had any wiggle room because I seen a few minor things I need to address and he said what was I thinking and I said 3000 he said meet me in the middle at 3250 so I did and that was that. I was the new owner of a L185 Kubota.
