Thanks for all the quick responses guys

I apologize in advance if I have missed this but having trouble navigating the forums. My question is this, I have a 1981 345DT and have recently come under attack by pack rats. They chewed up all my wiring and chewed through the serpentine belt. I went to the local dealership and they said they...

I'll try to keep this short. I have a 1981 345LDT. My front end loader has slowly been dropping off. I could make one pass around the field then I would have to bump the controls to lift it a bit. Eventually the hydraulics that rotate the bucket went out and I had to chain the bucket up so I...

I have a 1981 L345DT with front end lower. When the bucket is curled up it immediately drops down if the lever is not being held down. I've gone through the controls and eliminate them as being the problem. I've been told the seals may have gone bad in the cylinder. I have removed the cylinder...

That is suppose to be PTO spray rig in the title, Thanks

I have a 1981 L345DT, I was wondering if anyone has built a spray rig and how big of a tank can you go on the 3 pt. I want to use it for all around spraying and a water supply for control burning. If you have something can I see pics

It's been awhile but just wanted to give closure to this story. I eventually gave up on waiting for the mechanic that was going to hep me look at it and started tearing into it myself. What I found was directly under the cross member support for the radiator is a double row chain that married...

I appreciate the help

Thanks, I will,start there

I own a L345DT that has a L1720 FEL. I had posted on here awhile back about issues with the loader after changing fluids in the tractor. Well after several mechanic no shows. I started tearing into it myself. What I found was a double sprocket set up with a double rowed chain. The chain was...

I did replace the filter up by the controls. it is mounted vertical. If I did not fill that filter full before screwing it back on is that enough of a space to cause an air pocket in the system?

The three point does lift up and down. I was told it is running off a different system. The FEL has a reservoir mounted on the right side of the loader and there are two controls that move up and down. There are two main lines that run from the reservoir to the front of the tractor to the pump...

I did let it run for quite awhile. I moved the controls up and down and could hear a noise like it was pulling down on the system but the FEL never responded. I am going back up to the farm this weekend and try the advice you all have given. Thanks again

Thanks for the advice Eric

Need some advice, I changed all the fluids and filters on my L345DT today. I cleaned the filter screen and replaced it on the trans/hydrau. I fired it up and lifted the box blade and then the bucket. When I started to back up the FEL started dropping and didn't stop until it rested on the...

I don't know if this has already been posted if so I apologize. I just purchased a1981 L345DT. I am servicing it for the first time and I'm getting mixed message on what to run in my tran/hydraulic. I have read that you can run UDT instead of SAE 80 regardless of what the manual reads. Is this...
