Folks -

Those of you that have been following know that I have somewhat Grizzled L245DT with a rusted clutch, among other issues. I've been working on it.

So far, in this round, I've replaced the clutch, had the injectors rebuilt, put in a new set of glow plugs, rewired most of the old and crispy wiring, had the alternator rebuilt, cleaned out the radiator, and will flush out the cooling system, replaced all the cooling and fuel hoses, repaired fuel leaks at the tank and injector pump, pressure washed everything, repainted the drivetrain not quite the right color blue and some other general foolishness as well. I've spent about $4-500 on parts and such so far.

My local tractor repair that works on Kubotas said that it would be at least $800 for replacing the clutch alone, and he'd need to have it for about 6 weeks due to his work load.

Hoping all goes well with the rest of the repair and assembly and I don't discover any new gremlins raising their head once I get her running.

Again, thanks to all of you that chimed in with your help on the clutch.
