Unfortunately I'm sure. Let's just say an overeager user beat the hell out of it trying to clean it out. Things got scored and maybe a little bent. It's been very sticky and now completely unreliable. But Lance came to the rescue!

I need a position control valve for an old l245DT.

On my very old L245DT there are stamps on the wheels that date the tractor (or at least the wheels) as having been manufactured in 1977. It's the only date I can find anywhere on the tractor.

Yeah, push down or pull up on the arms. It should come right out. I don't think you have to remove the big cover.

I think if you lift the 3pt arms the cylinder will pop out. Don't think you'll have access to the "back" unless you took off the cover.

Not for the cylinder. I meant all the small ones.

You can search for my old threads for pics. Originally I found the rod that crosses between the 3pt control lever and the relief valve and connects in the middle to the position control valve had somehow worked it's way off. It was laying under the gears at the bottom of the sump under all the...

You can get boxes of sized o-rings from Harbor Freight (in SAE and metric) or from various places on line.

The two lines that run back from the pump are hard lines, not flexible rubber lines. On my tractor there's no flexible lines that came from the factory. They all service the FEL and they were almost certainly added in the U.S.

I have a l245DT and have had a similar problem. If you lock up the drop control valve with an implement on the 3pt hitch does it slowly fall? If it doesn't, I don't think your problem is the piston o-ring. But I have more questions: First, you have two hydraulic pumps? That's possible I guess...

Comparing the two parts diagrams and looking at the 7300 cooler the mounting bolts look the same and I can probably fabricate something to fit if they're not. The problem is that the hydraulic metal tubing seems to connect to the oil lines in a different manner. The 7400 looks to have mechanical...

I have a b7300 with a hydraulic oil cooler (it's mounted in front of the radiator) with a corroded bit at the bottom that is suddenly spraying oil. The problem is there's no replacement part available. There is an oil cooler available for the B7400 which has the same (D722) engine. Anyone know...

Great that you figured this out. So I take it that sometime in the past, someone opened the case and removed the lever. I guess they were planning on replacing it and never did. Nice work.

I knocked my old muffler off my L245DT and replaced it with a cheap unit I found on ebay. Now the tractor is twice as loud as it used to be... and yeah, I wear ear protection but it's insanely loud. The manifold and the elbow is intact and all the sound seems to come out of the end of the...

If I understand correctly you're talking about the position control valve that sits up under the rockshaft cover. A drag link socket sounds right. And some sort of air driven impact wrench. I ground down a big screwdriver end, got a tight fit, and turned it with a pipe wrench but that was...

I have an l245dt and I had hydraulic issues. The problem was junk inside the position control valve. I don't have any advice for checking pressure. (I know my pressure's okay because my loader runs off a split block mounted below the 3pt valve knob. FEL works fine.) Is the 3pt drop valve knob...

I realize now that this is the current layout of the HST L series. Clutch left, brake and go pedal on the right. It seems awkward but it makes sense that for most stuff both the clutch is only used a little and the brake is used even a little less. But why do they lay out the current HST B and...

Thanks to all for the responses.

As Roadworthy said, it's the 3pt cylinder in the rockshaft housing and it's a one way system. The piston and cylinder lift and gravity does the rest. And I agree, there's no detent, or "return to center" position on the 3pt lever. Mine seems to either want to go up or down, not find a spot...

Not sure if I'm putting this in the right place but... I've had two tractors, a B6100 (early 80's) and my current L245DT (late 70's). Both are simple, manual transmission tractors (4wd with loaders). They were/are easy to operate with clutches on the left, brakes on the right, a throttle pedal...
