    B7300 Hydraulic Oil Cooler

    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...

    L245DT Muffler

    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...

    B7300 HST footpedals. Really?

BUT if I lock the implement up by shutting down the drop...

    Braze a hydraulic line

(See pics). Sorry if my terminology is wrong. But I'm thinking I can braze the joint with flux...

    L245DT Key Switch

    My original switch (old and worn, with a replacement key) allows you to remove the key in any position. Is that the way it's supposed to work?

    L245DT 3PT Problem

    I recently bought a L245DT circa 1977. The seller told me the 3pt hitch had worked until recently but the control lever “went bad”. It was flopping around uselessly but everything else was good. I drove it around, used the FEL and drove it a mile back to my house. It was there that I discovered...
