Thanks Woodsy. Will check out.

THANKS all for your input!! And thanks Henro for the link to the manuals. I'm sure it will be useful in future also. Looking at wiring diagram, I see 3 switches and a starter relay, any one of these could be the problem. I think dash needs removed to get to relay and shifter switch. will...

Bought about 10 years ago used. No manual. Battery tests good, fuses good, all connections good. Forward, reverse in neutral and clutch depressed. No engine turn over. Acts like a safety switch is holding me out. Does same thing when I forget to take PTO out before trying to start. Don't...

Could somebody please direct me to a diagram that shows location of all safety switches on a L3010? It has sat out in weather for last month and will not start. Started and ran fine when I moved it. It has a bucket and backhoe on it. Battery checks good and connections are good. I thought at...

I realize this is an old post, but I had posted my thanks while it was new. I must have clicked wrong button as I don't see them. Anyway, thanks for the input. Was worried this may have caused the problem I'm now having with something on top of one piston stopping it from cranking a full turn...

Did 2 flushes with about 5 qts each. First was a little brown and milky. Second still a little milky. Poured about a gallon fresh fluid and let drain thru. Looked decent. Put new filter in and refilled. After an hour of running tractor, using brush hog, oil still looks clear on dip stick...

Thought I had done something great. Got caught inside garage when it started raining. I took a peice of 1" x 6" support for old coat rack, for flexibility, forced 24" x 3/4" heater hose inside (fit tight), forced 18" x 3/4" copper pipe inside heater hose. Drilled several holes in bottom 3" of...

Starter has been rebuilt and installed. Battery charged and holds almost 13 volts steady with battery tester. Held for about 20 seconds instead of recommended 10. When trying starter, sounds strong but stops abruptly after about 1/2 turn. Cannot turn forward even with pipe wrench, but will...

VERY nice work Matt. Wish I could do my engine that way. Don

Re: L245dt UPDATE Inspected flywheel: OK Rolled engine 2 complete rotations backward and forward. Slow going in proper rotation 1/8 turn at a time. Again, felt nothing going backwards and thought could hear compression all cylinders. Couldn't swear to that tho. Only turning forward very...

Due to other spring duties that must be done, this job has been postponed many times. Found no metal chunks in oil. Starter was full of water in bendix area, armature turns free but bendix doesn't. Don't understand how it even engaged the flywheel. Still need to inspect flywheel. Solenoid...

Will have to wait on the weather now. Rain got me yesterday and now they're calling for snow!! A few years back, that wouldn't bother me, but now I'm very susceptible to colds and when I get one, it takes a long time to recover. Thanks a lot everybody and I'll revive the post as soon as I can...

Pulled rocker cover, all looked normal. Rolled engine backwards and all tappets operated. Could hear compression on each cylinder. This time I rolled engine at least 2 full turns backwards. No abnormal sounds and rolled smoothly. I've tried to post every little detail, but when I tried to...

Needless to say, didn't get to tractor yesterday. After alternator, grandson had to go to class and didn't have time to drag tractor from behind garage so would have room to work on it. Will try to have one of my buddies do this today. As for the Audi, the worst part is the top mounting bolt...

Company left early yesterday:) RELIEF!!! Love them all, but when something is pressing to do, wanna try to do it. Enough of that. Back to subject. Ruled out clutch and starter. Engine turned freely backwards, then freely forwards to the point it was when it stalled. Not knowing what's in...

This project on hold for a few days. Have to entertain company. Hope no later than Thursday. :(:(

I have a Satoh Beaver w/42" tiller along with my Kubota L3010 bucket & backhoe, & L245DT brush hog. It constantly gets water in steering box. New seals, button on steering wheel etc. I just remove the lower bolt in the side plate and watch until water stops and gear oil comes out. With new...

Hi Stumpy. I was reaching for the fuel shutoff, but engine stalled before I got to it. After my post, I did try to turn the front output shaft with a 16" pipe wrench with no luck. I only tried in the operating rotation. If I turned it backwards and it was the starter, it might free it up. I...

I have an older L245DT tractor that I use to brush hog. When I started it yesterday, It started easily but only ran for about 10 seconds with a squealing sound that sounded like a belt slipping. Charged battery and tried starter again. When starter was engaged, fan (which is all I can see) moved...
