Anyone know if a kubota L185 (aka 1501) has a water pump??

I really dont expect an anser for this, but anyway..... I bought a "gray market" Kubota tractor, guy says it doesn't have a water pump, it doesn't have a pulley that looks like its connected to a water pump.....i find this hard to believe, maybe a internally driven impeller???Anyone know if a kubota L185 (aka 1501) has a water pump??
I'm pretty sure it has a water pump. If it's got a radiator then it's gotta water pump. There's some good info on a website I used to frequent....i think its www.ssbtractor.com



They have a good message board system. I would ask there too.Anyone know if a kubota L185 (aka 1501) has a water pump??
No water pump on this machine, water is circulated by convection (heat rises). there should be a whistle attached to the overflow hose it sounds when the engine is overheating.

Paul R is correct. I have a L185 and it does not have a water pump. It uses convection to circulate the water. Paul R was also right about the whistle on the side that alerts me if the tractor is overheating. it has only happened once and it was over 100 outside while I was brush hogging.
