    Sump? under main shaft pulley!

    L245DT Water Pump Removal

    Hi Guys, My L245 water pump died on me and doesn't want to come off the engine. I thought it was mounted with bolts (parts list calls them bolts) but they seem to be studs.

    Transmission / hydraulic fluid change!

    New to me L245DT and planning to change out all the fluids - prior maintainence did not appear to be high priority for owner. Is it necessary to purge all the hydraulic lines of fluid and if so does anyone have a procedure to bleed air out after the change. I have a 1200 FEL and the basic 3...

I also expect to have many other questions for members as this is my first tractor. Thanks for your help. Chuck
