Ok, bought a L245DT (no front end loader) in the spring. PTO lift worked ok early, then began to squall when lifting a load. I decided I wanted to change all the fluids. Drained the trans/hyd, read a little bit and refilled with an 80w90. Worked ok immediately after changing, then nothing, won't pick up, no squalling, nothing. Got concerned shoulda went with the thinner THF instead although no FEL and nothing i read really confirmed this, just thought the previous owner may have ran THF so should probably continue.
Changed it again with THF, but nothing. Took a look at the relief valve, cleaned reinstalled looked good. Where do I go now?

.... Where do I go now?
Id start with getting a user manual and a WSM (Workshop Manual). Pretty sure both are free at Kubotabooks.com

See Manual thread linked in the [Ultimate READ ME] for more info

Re: L245DT PTO Hydraulics

On your L245 don't you have an oil filter/strainer just before your hyd. pump?

I think there are 3 small bolts holding the bottom of it on. Remove and clean.

I'm not sure how much oil you'll loose. Might need to drain and strain if reusing. (or do a search to see if you'll loose any!)
