    Thank you , the starting problem was a bad glow plug. Now I'm working on the hydraulic loader. The loader raises very very slow and not much lifting power. The tilt on the bucket works just fine and so does the three point on the back. I checked the hydraulic pressure at the control...

    Kubota L345dt starting issues

    Should I check the resistance in the glow plugs before I take them out with the power wire off? What should I torque the injectors at? I don't have a manual Should I put anti-sieze on the thread? Thanks

    Kubota L345dt starting issues

    Yes, I've had the tractor for 20+ yrs in running condition but getting tired. It had only been a couple of days since I had used it and it wouldn't start. I've been posting questions for the last week or so trying to trouble shoot the problem so I took the injectors out. thanks

    Kubota L345dt starting issues

    Finally took the injectors out, tested each one while turning the tractor over got a nice spray out of each one of them. I didn't hear any popping noise. Should I still have them rebuilt? (unfamiliar with diesel engines) Thanks

    Kubota wont start

    I've tried bleeding it a whole lot trying to get air out but I don't see any air. Guess I'll try it again, I do try it with the compression release engaged trying to get the air out. Then I disengage it and leave the glow plugs on for a while, nothing happens just smoke coming out of the...

    Kubota wont start

    I know I'm getting power to the glow plugs. The temperature outside is in the low 60's. Tractor has always started, sometimes with a little effort. I've been cracking open injector line individually at the injector. Don't see any air or much fluid coming out. Should I put in new glow...

    kubota L345dt hydraulic issues

    Yes I have a hydraulic block under the seat on the left side. This looks like it goes to a control valve for the two rams on the gannon box on the back and then goes to the loader valves. I checked the hydraulic pressure in the middle of the tractor under the draft control valve in port 32...
