    How do You Test the Hydraulic Pressure on L345?

    I need to test the hydraulic pressure on both the power steering pump, and the hydraulic pump. My power steering seems weak, and the 3pt doesn't move (stuck in the up position). I wanted to start with the pumps. The manual outlines a procedure for testing each but there is no real description...

    L345 Rear 3pt Hitch Hanger Problem

    I've been repairing a number of seriously problems from the previous owner. One item I found is the lower hanger for the 3pt hitch hanger bars. It appears to have been damaged and it looks like a previous owner kludged a piece of 1/2" steel brace thing and just welded the thing back up. I had to...

    Hydraulic Qump Question

    Does anyone know the displacement and or flow rate for the rear PTO hydraulic pump that would be used for an L4510 Backhoe (or equivalent)? I have an L345DT with this backhoe and am planning out an overhaul of much of the hydraulic system. It may be more practical to replace the pump rather than...

    Rear Rims for an L345DT

    I've seen relatively inexpensive 11x28" rims for 6 lug drop center wheels available a few web sites, but they usually don't list compatibility with Kubota specifically. I assume this may be due to either the lug offset or the size of the mounting bolts? Can some one tell me if this is correct...

    Compression Testing

    Hi all. I just bought a '82 L345DT with ~2600 hours showing on the meter. I bought it from a neighbor who lives about 2 miles away so I was able to drive it home. :) However, I wasn't able to drive it in top gear. It would happily drive along in 7th but if I tried 8th the engine bogged down and...
