Thanks for the tip. My tractor is 28 years old, and I bought it used from the first owners, 14 years ago. However, I could ask a local dealer if they know the shipping weight of the LA650. Worth a try. In the mean time anybody else have some advice?

I am trying to calculate the weight of my tractor which has a LA650 loader attached to it. My tractor is a L3450, 4 wheel drive, with filled rear tires. I can find the weight of the tractor, 2845 Lbs. I am having difficulity finding the weight of the LA650 loader. Can someone direct me in the...

Yeah, I thought of that, and I will reuse if it is reusable. If not reusable i will have a back up. Rather have a backup then wait a week or so to get the new one, and have the tractor unusable during that time. Thanks for the thought.

Thank you Wolfman. It appears that the engineers who designed this tractor made somethings more difficult and other things easier. I think i am almost ready to dig in and replace those Glow Plugs, waiting on a Inlet Manifold gasket. Thanks again.

I am preparing to remove the inlet manifold, to replace the Glow Plugs on my L3450. In anticipation of having to bleed the fuel lines and injector pipes, I have read the article "How to Bleed Kubota Fuel Injector Lines" on this forum. My dilemma is I cannot find in my detailed service manual...

So that is why i cannot find the eight, tere is not one. Thank you very much.

I have to remove the Inlet manifold on a L3450, so that I can remove the Glow plugs. I can find 7 bolts, it looks like the eight is behind the Injection pump, but I cannot see it. It looks like the bolt flanges on the inlet manifold are the same on three ports, on a diagonal, and the fourth is...

Darn, I was hoping for an easier method. Now to begin the research on removing the inlet manifold. I cannot seem to find one bolt, I'll ask in a separate thread. Thanks everyone.

Thanks for the help. Wrench access is a challenge, but I can get the wrench on and turn them out. I cannot get them, once loose, to clear the Inlet manifold, to remove.

I replace things when i think they might be old enough. I fired up someone elses Kubota at -20C, his started right away after 3 seconds on preheat. At -20c mine takes two shots at 10 seconds. Also mine would be 27 years old. Besides, I like to putter. Can't do much with cars anymore.

I just made my first attempt to change the glow plugs on my L3450. Does not seem the glow plugs will come out with the inlet manifold in place. Has any body found a procedure to replace the glow plugs without removing the manifold?

Re: L3450 PTO clutch solution Well, I finally got around to trying an idea I have had for fixing my PTO clutch issue. The solution is to adjust the instructions in the shop manual. The manual says when adjusting the second stage to adjust the three bolts just inside the flywheel housing...

I scored. I have replaced my front tires, found a great deal. Replaced the Bridgestone 212/80D15 with Titan Multi Trac C/S, 27x8.50-15NHS, 4 ply, for $160.00 CAD each. Could have replaced them with Carlisle Multi Trac C/S 27/8.50--15, they are the same tire. Check out...

Interesting, my tractor does not have any fenders on the front. Thanks for the idea. Boyde

Thank you, I will check these web sites out. Boyde

Where did you see them? Thanks Boyde

Looking to replace my turf tires on my L3450. Existing tires Bridgestone 212/80D15. Hoping to find a suitable replacement, any suggestions? Regards Boyde

I have not adjusted the second stage clutch yet, I have a new symptom of my issue, hoping someone can diagnose my problem with this new data. First, my second stage clutch does not appear to disengage enough to allow the PTO to be shifted into gear without grinding. It does disengage enough...

I believe the disks are original. I do not see any signs that the tractor has been split. Regards Boyde

I have posted to this forum about this topic before, I still have the same issue, not solved yet. My two stage clutch grinds when I engage the PTO. I have adjusted the three adjusting bolts to the recommended 3/4 of a turn. When the engine is cold It will engage with no issue. Once it is...
