Following back up on this... I had an issue 2 weeks ago where I caught a wire from my backhoe thumb while driving through the woods...realized my 3rd function didn't work as well. Found a 5A fuse blown in the fuse panel and fixed the thumb wiring. Guess what? The Intellipanel works again! ac

I DO have the service manual somewhere. Maybe there are diagnostic tests. Good idea!

Hard to tell if the panel is "working". Tach works, everything seems to work, just can't switch the display mode.

All of a sudden the Display Mode and Travel Speed buttons aren't working on my L45. Anyone have any suggestions for diagnostics? I see 3 wires in the connector to the switch. Are they just simple momentary switches grounding?

Has anyone tried some of these cheap valves available on Amazon? $110 for a tandem remote valve setup seems pretty crazy cheap... Magister Hydraulic Directional Control Valve 13 GPM with 2 Spools Monoblock 4-Way Tandem Center: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific

Another example of what the chute rotate has me confused. Here's another for sale, notice how the chute rotate appears installed differently?

I'm looking to get a blower for my L45. I found this one a few hours from home. Anything stick out to anyone before I make the trek? Thanks!

This season the 23hp Kawasake FH680V on my Ferris zero turn has been acting up. It starts easily, and runs decently...normally. Often, mid mowing it will begin to start "cutting out" and running irregularly making significantly less power. It will "clear" itself and generally resume running...

I usually keep my box blade on the rear of my machine all winter as it is the heaviest implement I own and provides good ballast when I use my 8' snow plow and pallet forks to move firewood. This past storm I realized maybe it could be used for snow removal? I have a few areas I'd love to be...

This winter my loader control stick seems to be freezing up when the machine sits. The joystick appears to actuate the valve through a few push/pull cables. Any suggestions to remedy the situation?

Has anyone actually done this? I set out to do my 400 hour service on my L45 yesterday, found in the manual that I was supposed clean the spark arrestor at 250 hours! I couldn't get the pipe plug out of the exhaust for the life of me. I sprayed it with Kroil, I ran the engine trying to heat...

So last year I installed a diverter on my curl circuit on my L45 to control my snowplow and front grapple. The system "works" but with some issues of course: 1. I can only use double acting cylinders. 2. One direction is slow as molasses as the regen sucks. I used a set of skid steer flat...

I set out to ballast the rear tires on my Kubota L45. The rear tires are 15-19.5. According to most ballasting charts I found, they should hold 29 gallons. I started pumping and put 30 gallons in each figuring I'd drain out the extra gallon once I pulled the hose to know I was at the valve...

What is the secret to plowing with a tractor that keeps the front wheels engaged? I put the loader in "float" when using my SSQA plow and the front end has a tendency to climb and render the front tires useless. Is there some magic procedure/position I'm not understanding? ac

I'm getting ready to do a diverter install on my Kubota L45. I plan to break into the bucket curl. I'm stumbling on 2 fittings. Here is what my curl function looks like at the loader valve: I'd like to replace those fittings with JIC elbows. Does that look like -8 ORB? I should be able...
