    I have a L345DT that lost its power steering.

    I think your correct the oil went clutch housing how ever it was quiter than a couple of days. How do I get to that plug take the steering block off? I'm trying to find a WSM for the tractor but don't want to pay $300 for it. Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk

    L345HD hydraulics and power steering quit working

    Thanks I've never done this before but the tractor is so old that they don't have parts for it any more. I have started draining the hydraulic oil. I filled a 5gal tub but didn't know how much more there is. I hope I'm not biteing off more than I can handale. [emoji11] Sent from my VS985 4G...
