Feel free to reach out. I work from home for now (hoping to get a much better job soon) so I’m almost always home. Wouldn’t mind making a new Kubota friend :-)

Sorry to resurrect an old post, but I agree! Heck I'd be happy if they even branded it as Lizard instead to get around the licensing. Closest I've found is one of the old Fiat tractors that vaguely resembles my L345DT w/ FEL. I love puttin around my "farm" with it :)

Got her back inside my shop (peep my ‘87 IROC-Z project in the background) and the new seat installed. Debating trying to source new bushings(?) for the seat mechanism or just welding the arms in place so they don’t wobble side to side.

Nice job on yours!! I can’t wait to get her running again :-)

Today I rolled my 1979 L345DT (sans FEL (L1720) which I detached) out of my shop for the first time in two years! Backstory on her is mostly unknown except she started off in Kansas City, spent most of her life in South Texas then made it over to south Mississippi before I got her 2 years ago...

Na not gonna go with a huge one, no need for one like I had on my Kenworth W900L lol. Just a little one from Amazon/Harbor Freight will suffice

I have seen that and figured that was what it was for, the wiring to the glow plugs. And I'm debating adding a horn but not sure which one.. Leaning towards a Dixie horn or a electric train horn set. :)

Thank you :) I'm a Master ASE Auto and Truck technician, not a lot of experience working on Ag/Ind equipment but the concepts are the same. I would love to see pics of your 345 if you want to PM them to me. Mine is rough, but I got it for helping a buddy out so the price was right lol. So...

Yeah I've got the full schematic and shop and parts manuals printed out. I'm rewiring EVERYTHING... new Ignition Switch, Starter Switch, Glow Indicator, Glowplugs, wiring, starter, alternator, voltage regulator, new style 12v fuse box, battery and swapping the OEM oil gauge over to a multi...

Awesome thank you! Based on the schematic it looked like it should be a fuse/fusable link but I've never come across one like that so wanted to make sure. The breaker will definitely work, and if it trips (which it shouldn't) it'd be easy enough to reset :)

yes it’s 4x4. And thank you that’s about what I was thinking size wise but didn’t wanna start shopping for something to big or smaller than I can use.

Any input on what size blade or box I can safely pull behind a L345DT with the 1720 FEL on it? From what I've read it's 5hp/ft for things like bushhogs n such but no real guidelines for more "fixed" implements. I'm looking to cut a ditch that's overgrown and level my yard with several loads of...

Na the harnesses are LONG discontinued, and I checked around and couldn't find one. On a tractor this old the harness is VERY basic so won't take me but an hour or two to put together a new one.

ENTIRELY POSSIBLE given the rest of the hack job on this wiring lol.. Especially because there is a jumper wire going across the terminals on it. At first I was going to just patch it up but the further I looked into it I was like no... no... no... lol I don't want to put all the work into...

I'm thinking the same looking at the schematic, and think I'm going to replace it with a 40 amp waterproof circuit breaker like shown in attached picture. More modern, same purpose as the wiring schematic. I'll confirm when I get off work that the wires from it go to the alternator (I believe...

Basically make sure you're sitting in the seat so it won't start with you "in theory" in harms way. Mine being a 1979 doesn't even have that wiring at all so no worries on it there. They can also be used to make sure it's not in gear or clutch is pushed in so it doesn't lurch forward when it...

It's on the front lower driver side of the firewall, just side of center. I posted pics showing where it is mounted at. And yes I converted the metric sizes on the schematic to AWG and rounded up or went up one size. Better safe than sorry.

That's kinda what I was thinking it might be a fuseable link type deal.

Good morning everyone! I'm rewiring a L345DT (believe it's a 1979 model) because well it's been hacked and taped and chewed all to bits lol. I've got the schematic but I'm unsure what one piece of the harness is. I can't tell if it's a ballast resistor, junction block or just a bus bar of...

I know this is an old post so please don't crucify me... but is there any chance of getting a ground to top of ROPS measurement? I just picked up an L345DT and about to order the ROPS but i'm concerned if it'll clear my garage door. Mines got a loader to the exhaust stack is similar to the...
