Thank you for sharing. You are an inspiration for us that like to do our own work. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

My L285 has a single fill bolt just to the left of the steering shaft. I used an oil extractor with a small plastic flexible tube to remove the oil. I filled using a garden hand pump sprayer with the spray noozle cut off (valve still in place). I have a variety of garden sprayers I have...

Just following up with some learning experiences if anyone decides to go this route. I put the push handle back on to allow it to be used by hand easier, not misplace parts, and have higher mounting points to better apply pressure to the drive wheel without the rear wheel lifting. I wired...

I wanted to share a earthway seeder modification idea I had. Goals: Modify an Earthway push seeder to plant seed behind my tractor Low budget Able to return the seeder to it's original factory form Simple Able to monitor seed in hopper Able to lift seeder with the three point to stop seed from...

Is it functioning well? Do you recommend going to the joystick over the levers? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Just found this thead, I have virtually the same cart with a dead engine. Been thinking about digging into the valves and rings, but an inexpensive engine may be the better solution. Looks like you mail ordered yours, what was your source? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Thanks for the updates and photos, they will help me with future projects. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

I would replace the screens and filters again in hopes that material left over from the first fluid change has plugged them up again. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

I would add, that when filling there is likely drips all over. Any liquid that makes its way between the tube and rim will remain for years. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Yesterday was a busy maintenance day. Since I had no maintenance history on my still new to me L245DT, it was time to go front to back on maintenance: Replaced a few damaged hydraulic hoses. Replaced front axle fluid (I was unable to find a fill indicator, is this just filled by volume?)...

I may find myself doing the same repair. I appreciate the heads up on the snap rings. By chance did you take any pictures of the disassembly that you can share? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Assuming you are warming up the glow plugs fo 10+ seconds, I would next check to make sure the compession relief is not stuck open. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

My L245DT is still new to me. I have little knowledge of its mechanical history. Last week our weather went from cold to warm and humid. I noticed condensation on not just the heavy metal surfaces, but also on the rear tires. On one of the rear tires, there was a distinct condensation...

Being a new owner of an (old) Kubota I have been scouring forum posts for all the information I can digest. I must say out of the hundreds of posts I have read, I have not come across members flaming each other. Folks here are genuinely interested in helping each other out. I am truly...

I likely have some leaks at the FEL cylinders and at the front axle. A good cleaning and fresh fluids will allow me to verify the leaks and determine how bad they are. Since I am anticipating 20-40 hours/year on the machine, if the leaks are not bad, I may not repair right away and instead...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I believe that with my little 110 volt wire feed welder I can attach one end of a small piece of flat bar the head of the large pin, and bolt the other end down through the existing hole. Same concept as the drawing Wolfman provided. I've got a few other...

Thank you everyone for the awesome advice! With a little persuasion, I should be able to get the bucket closer to it’s original shape. Next time I have it on a trailer I will visit someone with more of a welder than my little 110 volt wire feed to beef it up a bit. With the addition of hooks...

Last weekend I trailered my new to me, L245DT, home. Truly a barn find, I first saw it in 2008 and have just purchased it from the estate of the original owner. It has about 1150 hours on the meter which I believe are accurate since my pictures from 2008 indicate about 30 hours on it since I...

I see fabric shelters around the country side. Even used some huge ones overseas for aircraft. For long-term uses, I would be concerned about having one rot out due to UV or moisture. How long can one expect the fabric to last. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
