    Possible clutch adjustment needed?

    Ok, so I’ve got the PTO just about fixed/adjusted to where it almost doesn’t grind at all, and if you go pretty slow when engaging it , it doesn’t grind. Very happy about that. Acting on the information in these posts I had a much better idea of what was supposed to be happening and wasn’t. As...

    Possible clutch adjustment needed?

    Hello, I’ve been away taking care of life but I’m home again and trying to progress down this path. Looking further at the hydraulic circuits or oil… when I park the tractor with an implement hooked to the the 3 point and leave it in the raised position.(off the ground completely) it will leak...

    Possible clutch adjustment needed?

    After having crawled around and cleaned etc under the tractor I have a better understanding of things. Since your previous reply/recommendations I have adjusted the travel clutch linkage and inspected the suggested areas.. the parts looked to be in good condition and moving freely as intended...

    Possible clutch adjustment needed?

    Answers: 1.) yes, the travel clutch is having an issue but it’s been just recent, maybe the past week. 2.) it wants to grind just a bit when putting it in gear or a range change. But no concern with the shuttle forward or reverse and no issues when taking it out of gear or range. 3.) yes, the...

    Possible clutch adjustment needed?

    Sorry about sending the long post, wasn’t going to do that until I figured out if I was doing this stuff right.. clearly I need practice as I sent it before I was going to try and condense it down.. I didn’t even finish the sentence at the end. Be patient, I’ll get better.

    Possible clutch adjustment needed?

    Hello, in an attempt to be thorough, last night and some early this morning I crawled around under the tractor to wipe off dirt/ grease, remove twigs if any, push and pull on levers, observe in general and move clutch/brake and just about every other lever I could reach and still be under it to...

    Possible clutch adjustment needed?

    Ok, the shuttle shift lever is the second diagram, the lever has a bend at both ends. And the shuttle rod / linkage definitely looks like the last diagram with it being on left side of the steering wheel going down and is two pieces with the connection point visible just below the sheet metal...

    Possible clutch adjustment needed?

    Great, here you go. L-545 61064 The last digit has been worn by some plate or deck mount tab thing someone added in the past making it hard to read. It sure looks like a 4, if it’s not a 4 will it make a big difference being it’s a serial number not a model number? Is it still possible to get...

    Possible clutch adjustment needed?

    Ok, not the help I was hoping for, even with an exclamation mark. My friend, having read these forums plenty of times I don’t think my request was out of the realm of the norm. I was looking at the linkage etc on this tractor and thought wow, this can probably be done with relative ease, maybe...

    Possible clutch adjustment needed?

    Hello again , I read this back before posting and it’s kind of long but it seems like it needs to be. I have read your forum for quite some time and one thing stands out, garbage questions with little or no facts just waste time for everyone trying to help and result in accomplishing little...

    L5450 hydraulic oil filter change

    Thanks for the quick response. I don’t see any reason not to set up the shop vac and better my odds. Im just thinking if not much is lost when changing the filter I might not bother with that approach and just be quick about the swap. I’m not doing it till tomorrow anyway so I’ve got time to...

    L5450 hydraulic oil filter change

    Hello all, my question is… when changing the hydraulic oil filter on my L5450 how much oil am I going to spill.. presuming my tractor is full of hydraulic fluid…? I have the new filter ready but I’m looking at the location of the filter on the side and it’s well below the “full” level. The fluid...
