Good day, all. New member, just found the forum through a Google search for Kubota forums.

I bought an L305DT 4x4 with a Bush Hog brand front loader a few months ago (great little tractor, by the way). I ordered shop tractor and engine manuals from my local Kubota dealer and what came was a workshop manual for an L345 & L345-II for the tractor and a manual for diesel engines that covers D1102-B, D1302-B, D1402-B, V1502-B, V1702-B and V1902-B engines. I have not been able to run down the actual engine designation for my tractor and want to be sure these are the correct manuals before I open the packages (I don't want to waste $106 and change if I can help it). Can anyone help with this one?

Thanks in advance.

Your Tractor has a D1301 engine. Here is a chart with all the domestic Kubota models and their engines.

Thank you for the information, eserv - I do appreciate it. Looks like the engine manual is for a similar model and I can do as well with an aftermarket manual at a significantly lower cost.

Would anyone have an idea if the L305DT and L345 are close enough that the tractor manual would be useful? Questions like are the frames the same size, are the drives the same, etc.

Thanks again --- Dave / Believer45

A half right manual is worse than none! Get the right one for your tractor.
