By the way, the label appears to be yellow. See the photo from https://www.ebay.com/itm/184611610991 Manipulating my photo I can see some of the text more clearly, and I am including the cropped file here. Perhaps you can pull more data off of it than I could. Here is a link to the full...

Woah! Did you make those?? They're awesome! I'm curious about where the b&w loader movement sticker went. I don't think I ever saw it on my L245DT

Unfortunately I couldn't find any of these decals, so I ended up with a blank surface. The top, mostly illegible decal, appears to have been a warning regarding lowering the bucket during transportation, 3"W, 4.5" H The yellow caution sticker was 3"W, 4"H The white operation sticker was 3"W...

I never did find that decal. Here's photos of the decals around it, there were a total of 3 along the left side vertical loader fram. You can probably work out the dimension by measuring your frame. Best of luck! Tom

For what it's worth, I've gone through this procedure a couple of times with my L245DT, and here's what I've learned. 1) the V rings face upwards on the piston, towards the nut that compresses them down. 2) The wire included in the kit is 1/8" mild steel. The bend in the end was too long for...

I wanted to install a block heater on my L245DT but couldn’t find any real details as to how to do it online. I posted about this before on this forum. People suggested using a magnetic heater or a lower radiator hose heater, both of which were ok, but I’ve grown up with block heaters and am...

Thank you everyone! I was thrown off by a video where a guy powered on the glow plugs and the indicator glowed within 3-4 seconds. Very good to know that the wait time is just longer than I'd been giving it.

As long as I've had my 1982 L245DT, the glow plug indicator has never glowed. I've seen one glowing nicely in a video, but not mine, even when putting the juice to the plugs for 10-20 seconds. I replaced the indicator a few years ago when I got the tractor, and have replaced the glow plugs as...

Thanks, that's good to know.

Thank you so much!

I'd like to install a block heater in my L245DT, but am running into a pretty big problem: Space. I've popped the crankcase freeze plug on the left side of the engine, but there is barely 1/4" between the inner wall of the case and the outer piston (?) jacket. So, no heater's going to fit in...

I'm looking to install a block heater in my L245DT. The ones I've seen online go into a freeze plug hole, but unfortunately, all the instructions I've found assume that the plug is removable with an allen wrench. What I have looks like a pressed in cap. You can see it here, looking at the...

Thanks, that's good information. I've found a local company that had previously made the Kubota logo that goes on the side of the loader arms, so they were able to print me some vinyl decals for a very reasonable price. I'd say that's a win. I'll see about getting a high-res pic of the the...

Hi folks, I'm fixing up my loader and have been looking for the warning decals that went on the side. I know it's a bit of an anal thing, but it's fun to redo it to look like the original out of the box. Anyway, I've scoured the net, and talked with my local dealer, all to no avail. The last...

Another option is to buy the cylinder seal kits on your own. For the model 1200 loader, here's the seal kit info I have. Part # 70050-00299. It runs about $35. This is for the bucket control cylinder part# 4361 from the manual for the series 1200 loader. This replaces the kit numbered 2-2857...
