Hi guys, I just bought a L245 tractor and noticed the hoses were in bad shape. Decided to replace them. New one came in and seems to be molded a little different. Is this the correct hose? Also noticed that old hose had damage where the belt has been hitting it. Any advice or help would be appreciated.
L245 Lower Hose???

Yes that's the right lower hose for a L245.
More pictures of the radiator, as it's possible that someone has changed it, as it looks like the lower outlet doesn't come off at an angle like it should.

Yes it has been changed. I’ll take better pictures tonight. The lower outlet is straight definitely not on an angle. Thing he put the wrong one on?

Yeah looks like they put the wrong one in it. Lower hose outlet is straight. For now I think I’ll see about getting a shorter belt so it doesn’t hit the hose.

Other option is to use a copper fitting to turn it the right way.
Just a short piece of hose with a 45 degree or a 22.5 degree elbow will probably do it.
Or a local radiator shop can fix it.
