You may want to see my thread from 2-years ago (search: L245 oil pressure). I ran through the same procedure.

If it's anything like my L245, then it does have a fuel shut off valve, on the hot side of the engine at the base of the fuel tank. What I've noticed on mine is that if I turn off the fuel, whenever I go to turn it back on, the line has a substantial amount of air in it. It will then proceed to...

The WSM shows depending on your engine: Z751-A: 14.2+ psi @ 750 rpm / 42.7 - 64 psi @ 2800 rpm DH1101A: 14.2+ psi @ 600 rpm / 42.7 - 56.9 psi @ 2800 rpm D1301-A Hope this helps.

I agree with checking first, before spending any money on new parts. I'd first check the oil level, then I'd check to make sure that it was the correct viscosity. Too thin of an oil may not develop enough pressure when hot. Then, check the pressure switch. When I first got my L245, the oil...

Hopefully it's just the switch. Really easy to check. However, if it's not, it could be the infamous cam plug. I've got the L175's brother (L245) and had the same issue. It came down to the cam plug. You can read through my thread and see what's involved. The fix was fairly simple but it took...

Now with more down force,... but not results I'm looking for Change of plans. While I was sizing up the PHD, and frothing at the mouth over the challenge, I observed a 3/4" hole in the structure at the top of the arch. As this is a new PHD, clearly a factory added hole. No sense in debating, I...

My low cost solution is going to be to remove the pin between the PHD gearbox and connecting arm (see attached images). I'm going to machine a shaft which will extend on either side of the gearbox. These extensions will allow a hanger to be placed on each side upon which I'll load plate weights...

Update: The augers are new. In fact, I started with a 9" auger and all the stated problems. I theorized that I was perhaps trying to bite off more than my L245 could handle, so I down-sized to the 6" auger. Unfortunately, same dilemma. The bit(s) on the end of the auger are the standard wedge...

I've got an L245 with a County Line post hole digger attachment. I have 6" and 9" augers. The soil where I live is dry, compacted, and an appreciable clay content. I am needing to drill post holes (lots of them), however, I can get ~4 inches down when either: 1) I create the nicest looking clay...

oil pressure The previous owner of my L245 ran it for untold years with the oil pressure light on. It was the first thing I fixed. If the oil pressure switch is working ok and you've eliminated wiring, AND you're considering the possibility of the missing cam plug for low oil pressure, look...

Hey Carl. Ah. Good question. It was while I was changing the transmission oil, that I decided to remove the old hose and replace with pipe plugs. In retrospect, the flow logic makes sense. If you install a tandem (open) center hydraulic valve, the flow will pass right through the valve until...

Re: L245 changed transmission oil; now SOMETHING! The silver colored 'hydraulic block' is not an easy access point for 2 high pressure hydraulic taps. Rather, it is a critical 'bridge' where oil flows OUT of one port and IN the other. Originally, there was an old ratty hose which made the...

Ok, call me a boob! I confess. I goofed, ....but now I know. What's the problem in the attached picture?

Anybody have a suggestion? I changed the transmission oil in my L245 this weekend. 8:00 started tractor (all worked as usual) 8:20 turned off tractor; drained oil from two ports and final drives 8:40 removed filter screen; replaced it and o-ring 9:00 tightened all plugs, pulled pan out of way...

Re: L345DT Transmission fluid....me too! sort of I've got an L245 and just changed mine this weekend. I too looked in the manual and found 80W listed. I thought that sounded thick but I checked a viscosity chart (attached). The universal transmission fluid (UDT) has a Saybolt viscosity @ 100F...
