Does anyone have some simple instructions to make a homemade counterweight. I own a Kubota L245dt with Cat 1 3pt hitch. I am looking for something very simple and instructions that are specific so I don't have to waste a lot of time re-inventing a wheel that someone else may be already...

I plan to slam some jb weld into the coupling and advance the female coupling down the shaft so it will bite on the part of the shaft that is still good. (I already put it back that way and got it to work just fine, but after a days worth of plowing the coupling worked its way back down the...

Sorry, forgot to post link to thread: http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=736

Better photo of worn shaft. Only half the length is worn, as it appears the coupling was never fully seated on the shaft. Why that is the case is beyond me. I took it all apart today, readjusted all the allen head set screws on the various couplings and got the worn female coupling to seat...

1. I do not know the two reasons why the splined adaptor failed. 2. From your photo of the shaft it appears to be all one piece all the way through the engine and the splined part is not removable, correct? 3. The splines on the crank are worn to. See attached picture. So again, you feel...

Would be a great idea, but the hydraulics for my snow plow (to angle left and right) are already tapped into the block underneath the seat!

So you are absolutely certain that the splined shaft in the photo I posted is not a "stub" that will come right off if I find a tool (similar to a crazy deep socket wrench) to remove the nut and pulley? Just want to be sure, because it almost looks like it could be just a 2 to 3 inch stub...

Here is the photo. Hard to get my cellphone in there without tearing stuff apart.

Ok, I'll take some photos later today and send them to you. Thx. Tim

Two more quick questions: Does anyone have the owners manual for this tractor? When I bought it a few years ago, I found one online somewhere but the computer I saved it to had a meltdown! I'm having a hard time finding one. Second, while playing around with the tractor yesterday, I noticed...

Diagram helps a lot. Check this out...never should have trusted the part guy at the local Kubota dealership. It appears you knew this but i didn't. The stripped shaft that is on my machine appears to be a stub shaft only that likely does not go all the way back into the engine. (He alleged...

LSMurphy could you please draw me up a quick diagram like Wolfman did so I can understand what you are suggesting? I think I understand most of it, but not all. Thanks, Tim

One other thing occurred to me in reading a similar post...(and I'll confirm later by going out to look at my tractor)... I'm fairly certain my pulley does not have any holes in it with which to attach that fabricated part you spoke of. Check out this similar string...

I will share this information with the machinist who repaired my plow mount. Hard for me to envision this, but this is my first tractor and I am not very mechanically inclined. In the photo you posted, am I looking at the tip of the pto shaft through that fabricated adaptor? PTO shaft has a...

I am looking for some much needed help. A few years ago I bought a used 1980's vintage kubota L245DT with a loader. It runs like a champ and I've gotten more use out of it than I could have imagined. Anyhow, the loader is powered by a hydraulic pump mounted on the front of the tractor. (It...

Thanks very for the advice. I still can't figure out why the owners manual states that the transmission requires, "Gear oil SAE 80." This is an owners manual I found online for a 1976 model L245. Mine was made in the 1980's, but I would think the manual shouldn't have changed?? I am just...

Just bought a used L245DT with a loader. I am attempting to change the engine oil and trans/hydraulic fluid. Completed the oil change, no problem. Now onto the trans/hydraulics. It came without a manual, but I found one on the net. It recommends SAE 80 gear oil for the transmission. It...
