Need to buy BX2680, spring 2024 to whenever. Clear 2+ acres, 300' gravel driveway, garage/shop. Land Pride Box Blade, Homestead Root Grapple, LP Post Hole Digger, WoodMaxx PTO Chipper,
recently blew out 3 freeze plugs. replaced 2 on side, filled with water. still leaked above transmission. had to remove gas tank to find leak. well, there is another freeze plug. well live and learn.

then filled with water. it took 4 gallons of water. or I might say oil/water. well live and learn.

thinking head gasket or busted block. took of stuff and valve cover. when i took off valve cover there were 3 MORE (I think were freeze plugs, as well). one was laying on top of block, completely out.

i cannot find anything that tells me what they are. so, I can ask intelligently for a part at dealership.

questions: is this a freeze plug or an internal freeze plug?
can i just tap it back in or get another one?
I will drain and flush everything, of course but is there other little Suprises (like internal freeze plug or the like) I should look for?

bye and bye there WAS rust on surface of that one that was out internal freeze plug but none on others.

thanks in advance for any comments, suggestions or help!

appreciate some input from all my new friends out there. I recently moved into the new tractor owner category having purchased a 2022 LX2610. I loved my 1987 John Deere 855 compact diesel but after 20 years it is worn out and we decided to move into a new Kubota. My problem is after only 36 hours we have gone through over 2 quarts of hydraulic fluid. The yellow dipstick for the golden hydraulic oil (don't get me started on that!) has been at or below the fill line 4 times already. We have crawled underneath and have not seen any evidence of any leaks. We just had 50 hour service done on it at our Kubota dealer and told him our problem and they could not find any leaks or any evidence that fluid is leaking or mixing in other areas internally where it is not supposed to be. Obviously something is going on that shouldn't be but no one has any idea what it is. wonder if anyone has any experience with this or any ideas where the fluid is disappearing to. Thanks.
Hi Lance,

I saw your comment in a post from 2019 about having a bevel gear case that would fit a L185DT. I am trying to find two to fit a L245DT, and know that the two tractors take the same part (35220-43440). Do you still have one or two? I am in Northern California as well, up in Eureka. I know I can get them new, but it they are available used and in good shape, might as well give them new life in an old tractor. While I'm asking, any chance of the front wheels as well?

I figured it's worth a shot, in the event you still have the L245DT or parts.

Thanks,

Bill

my L 245 DT tractor has starting issues. starter klicks most of the time when trying to start. If I tap on starter or try it different times the starter works correctly. Purchased new "direct replacement " starter and it did the same thing just clicks. new starter is quite different no nose cone around bendex, acts like bendex is not long enough to engage in flywheel. Installed original starter back in tractor. Did notice a post about adding a relay to correct the problem. Can you send a diagram and what relay was used in this application ?
