D2, what is special about airplane tires? I'm kinda curious if they would help in the demo derby cars that son #2 plays with. IF I was ever to be over that way, I would certainly holler at you.

Re: Well, it's time (Update L245 Wheel Rim... SUCESS!) Got the Wheel rims from http://heywheel.com $99. ea is a much better price. They even knocked the little bolt locking nubs out of the holders to allow the bolts to expand to fit the center discs for me. There was a little hammer...

D2, Thanks again for the tip on Hey Wheel. I have been working with them and got things figured out. It's not that the problem is a big deal, just my understanding of the issue. Bryan from HeyWheel has been great to work with. He explained things for me when I couldn't get any info from my...

Thanks to both of you. I will look into these ideas. First things first, supper then a stiff drink and a quiet smoke on the front porch then I can chase ideas around the internet. Any ideas about new bolt lengths? Thanks!

Old L245DT that was my uncles. I bought it after he died and have just been waiting for this to happen. The rear wheel rim has rusted though at the valve stem. The cancer was bad enough when I bought it that it was deemed unrepairable so I have been waiting for this to happen. Holy...

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got a tractor that looks just like mine....... without all the bumps, scratches, bruises, dents, etc. Ok, so yours just looks a whole lot better than mine but the hour meter on mine sits at 1850 and just stays there. What Vic said about the filter screen is the first...

Hey Ruth! I ain't got no blinkers so no need to fix'em!:D Well, I finally decided to go with my gut and ordered a water pump assy that matched drawing and old part. Everything is back together now and running fine. New water pump, new hoses, new thermostat, new rad. cap and new battery cables...

Thanks Vic! Doesn't help, though. They do not explain what they mean by the use of the "~" sign although I believe it is used in the same way. I am still confused by Kubota's own documentation contradicting itself but I am going to have to move ahead with my project. I am going to have to side...

WARNING!!!!! Detailed confusing situation follows......Read only if you have your favorite beverage at hand (maybe more than one )!!!!!! :o:o:o Ok everybody (especially experienced Kubota documentation readers).......See if this is totally confusing or maybe it's just me. Subject is a L245DT...

Oh boy, that may prove to be a big understatement. I got the outer bearing without too much trouble. The inner bearing (the one that disassembled itself) left the outer ring firmly in place in the housing. I can't get a brass punch on anything that will allow me to knock it out. I may have to...

I mean REALLY!!!!! You would think that a company as big and well set-up as Kubota would be able to put a water pump on a tractor that lasts more than 30 years! My L245DT is from 1981 (or thereabouts) and the water pump seized up the other day while I was warming it up to go cut wood. I...

Did you bleed at the top of the fuel filter assy.? The pump bleeder is the next one. Then if you are questioning things, go ahead and do the injectors. At the last step, if you don't have fuel out of the injector lines, then there is your problem. Now what is the root cause? Crap from the...

On my 245, the steering shaft seal went only one way, spring facing the st. wheel. It has a recess in it for the shaft tube to fit into. Your's must be different. Don't know about the selector shaft seal, I didn't have to fix mine.

Just came in.........remembered to bring the Op. manual too!! :D Spec's for L245DT from factory are 7-16 front (bky gets the prize for first response) and 11.2/10-24 for the rear. Have fun!

Tom, I'll have to remember to bring in my manual when I come back to the house for lunch. I just don't remember what size mine has on the front, even though I bought two new tires for it just two years ago. I don't know of anyplace on the 'net that shows recommended sizes.
