    B/L-4520B Backhoe

    Do you have pics of just the subframe? I am trying to find one. Also, is that somehting that is bought for the L245, the FEL, or the backhoe? I am looking at various options, but this would help a lot. Thank you.

    Smoke checked Alternator L245 (dynamo?)

    Thank you for your help. I have an alternator coming as well as a voltage regulator. Figure that I'd rather spend 80 bucks on parts than have the tractor go dead in the field, seeing as how there wasnt a LOT of smoke coming off the alternator, but any is too much and it's gotta be 30 years old...

    Smoke checked Alternator L245 (dynamo?)

    So, some results. Hooked up truck, cranked tractor, tractor runs. Huzzah! Took connector off back of dyno, DMM for VAC. Black lead on metal housing of dyno, hot on connectors on dyno. Nada, all three. Seperate large red cable (likely carrying up from starter hot) showing 12VDC. VDC reading...

    Smoke checked Alternator L245 (dynamo?)

    No offense taken, and no. Not sure. They may have been reversed. Turns out (upon further inspection AFTER tearing my cables off my terminals while my dyno tried to immolate), on the tractor, my positive battery cable is black, and the neg is uncovered/braided. So yeah I could have very easily...

    Smoke checked Alternator L245 (dynamo?)

    I hooked up a battery charger to my L245 battery as it was flat (kids left the switch on overnight), and after a couple of minutes the alternator started gently smoking. I unhooked it, noticed the charger cables were hot. Is that actually an alternator, or is it a dynamo as the wiring diagram...

    Disc harrows on a L245; single or double row?

    I'm looking at picking up a set of discs arrows for my Kubota l245 and I'm wondering if I should stick with a single row or go with a double row. do you think a l245 could handle a double row? thank you very much

    L245, no fuel at one injector

    OK, in case anyone ever reads this, I took the fuel line off the top of the fuel pump leading to the cylinder in question, and blew it out. Pulled the decompression knob, turned it over and saw fuel bubbling at the fitting on the fuel pump. Commence happy dance. Installed fuel line, tightened at...

    L245, no fuel at one injector

    Howdy, y'all. I was doing some cutting with my 245, everything going swell, started losing power. Fuel filter change went well (thought maybe I had put weed-eater gas into the tank, so I drained the tank, filled a new fuel filter with diesel, and installed), but did not solve issue. During air...

    Front end loader decision

    Hello. First post, first tractors listed below. Am looking to upgrade my L245 with a front end loader, and maybe an excavator at some point. Considering this tractor has zero defects, 700 hours, and AFAIK is 40 years old, am I planning on putting too much strain on a machine that has been pretty...
