    L345 with 1720 loader issues

    Sorry I forgot to update yall. I got it all back together with new keys and set screws. So far it’s working great. Will keep an eye out for a better option for the splined shaft. Thank you all very much for your help! It is greatly appreciated! Edit: I also found what was rubbing the spot on...

    L345 with 1720 loader issues

    Sorry for the delay in getting pictures I’ve had it soaking in oil for a week. Here’s the set up it has now. It is a Kubota branded FEL. It’s the Kubota L1720 loader. Should I just get this cleaned up and set screws freed up and continue using it? The end with the u-joint that goes on the crank...

    L345 with 1720 loader issues

    Sorry I know I’m not very good at explaining. I will get pictures of what I’m talking about. The circled parts are essentially what I’m trying to replace. Edit: I know there’s no chance to match the splines. The u joint it has on it is keyed that goes on the splined crankshaft. It’s only...

    Yes the pump is good. Spins free and no play in it. The crankshaft off the tractor is splined. So the set up I have now is soaking in oil to free up set screws. But it’s a key way on the pump that has a shaft on the end. That shaft is going into a small u joint and that u joint attaches to the...

    Awesome thanks! What can I use to attach the other end to the shaft on the tractor? I’ll attach pictures of the shaft I have now in a couple of days. I have it soaking in oil to get the set screws freed up.

    L345 with 1720 loader issues

    Thanks! Pulled the pump off this morning and it was a sheared key way. I think the shaft attaching the pump to the tractor is a home made job. It’s got a u joint with an end for a straight shaft with a key way going onto a splined shaft with a set screw holding it. Any ideas where I can find a...

    L345 with 1720 loader issues

    Thanks for your help! I did check the fluid level in the external tank. The dipstick is gone but it’s a little over half full. I did add a little to bring it up but didn’t add much. From what I researched it should take 5-6 gallons ? I had thought about taking the pressure side off to the valve...

    L345 with 1720 loader issues

    Thanks! How do I get the moderator to do that? It’s an external pump. No quick connects. But hydraulic lines are very crispy. I’ll take some pics when I get off work today. Thank you

    L345 with 1720 loader issues

    My loader quit on me the other night. No visible damage to the pump. Was trying to lift a heavy load and when I backed up to get a different angle the loader wiuldnt raise without really revving up the throttle. Then it was jerky and felt like it was on a bind. Now the loader won’t even act like...
