I am new to the site, so I hope you will bear with my questions.
I just picked up a Kubota L245DT with a front end loader. It has its issues, but I am trying to work through them one at a time.
I have a service manual, but it is really difficult to use for diagnosing problems.
First problem is the rear three point lift does not work, neither does the power steering, so I assume it is related to the hydraulics(the loader has its own hydraulic pump, reservoir, and controls) but where do I start looking?
The second is the pto does not work. The shift lever seems to shift firmly, but there is no power to the pto shaft. There is some spin when the tractor is running, but I am assuming it is from fluid moving around it because I can stop it with fingertip pressure.
Other than those issues and being cosmetically challenged it is a really nice little tractor. I look foreward to fixing everything and really getting to use the tractor.
Thanks
Stephen
