    L345DT engine and injector question

    Any experience with cleaning or rebuilding the original injectors? I'm tinkering on two L345dt's. They both run, but as I go through the mechanical systems, I'd like to freshen up as much as I can without completely buying everything new. 8 new injectors between the two isn't going to...

    WTB: L345 Misc Parts

    Anyone parting an L345/L345dt? I am in Southern California, and realize shipping is likely required for all this due to not many of these tractors in this area. Wish list: 1. L345 fender tail light lens. See pic. 2. A single used kubota orange L345dt front wheel for 9.5-16 tire. I...

    steering wheel

    I had to make a pulling plate out of a large washer by cutting a slot in it so it would slip over the steering shaft and then pulling on the washer transfers the pulling force to the base of the wheel without ripping up the plastic.

    Source for Grey Kubota Fuel Hose

    Hi all, I ordered a bunch of parts from Messicks to freshen up my tractor, but I wan't able to find the fuel hose (side note, no, I did not call them and ask them directly, didn't think to do that until now). It looks like really nice hose, It is not dry rotted and hard like typical rubber hose...

    L1500 Radiator

    NIW, do you have experience with the ebay aluminum radiator? I took one of my 345 radiators to the shop around the corner, they hot tanked it and pressure tested and said the core tubes are worn out. $500 for a replacement from one of their venders, which I'm obviously not going to do for a...

    L305DT rescued from the salvage yard

    Dick, I sent you a PM with a lot more words than this response, and also a few photos. I really should start my own thread on my tractor adventures.....someday. Not only did I end up buying the nice looking local 345dt I had previously shared with you a couple weeks ago, I bought a second...

    L305DT rescued from the salvage yard

    Can you share any details on this mod to replace the OE mesh screen filter? How about a ball valve in the return pipe, would that be of any benefit? Seems like the only way to service the filter, even with the updated spin on type filter, is to allow the transmission fluid to drain out...

    Tractor washing.

    Does the left over "coating" from this process attract dust? I've got my tractor torn down with no sheet metal on it and I want to "detail" everything clean and fresh. I'm here searching for solutions for a finish/protectant after all this work. This formula is intriguing. Whatever I use, I...

    L305dt owner - Upgrade to L345dt worth it?

    My loader is operated off the tractor hydraulics. The tractor did not come with the front pump or hydraulic reservoir on the side of the FEL frame. The 345 is physically larger as well which would make the tractor feel more stable with a loaded bucket. Wolfman is probably right, but Im...

    L305dt owner - Upgrade to L345dt worth it?

    I have an L305dt that I've put about 40 hours in since buying it in April. I paid $12k for the tractor with box blade and L1720 FEL and a brush hog. I filled the rear tires with water and so far, the tractor has served me very well. Actually, the tractor has changed my life for the better...

    Good / Effective over the counter Weed Killer..?

    Same for me in CA on my 1.5 acres. I use a much higher concentration, but it's probably just a waste of money. I need to spray again this weekend on some areas I missed and I'll try 2oz/gal ratio and see how it works. The 41% requires spraying yearly and I find that it's best to get ahead of...

    L295DT with L2773 Loader, right bracket broken, pictures

    Bolt it all back up and then weld it, or at least tack weld it all together so you know the holes will like up. Youll want to prep the length of that piece that broke off with groove, and do a full penetration weld. At least, it looks like that is how the broken piece needs to go back on, its...

    L295DT with L2773 Loader, right bracket broken, pictures

    Its not clear what/where it broke in your photos. Your quickest way to get back up and scooping is to find a buddy or business that can fabricate and repair your broken part or reverse engineer it and build an entirely new one. I fear that the likelihood you will find this specific part by its...

    Different Workshop Manuals? L305/L345/L355

    I just want to confirm there aren't multiple manuals out there. The WSM cover that I posted above states only "L295 / L305 / L345 / L355", and I just found it odd that it would also contain the info for the smaller tractors, without listing those models on the cover page. If there was a more...
