According to the ID plate, I have a Kubota L245 - 11430 with a DH1101A engine, and the engine is blue. I've found some used part that say they came from an L245 with a DH1101 engine and it's orange. Other than the color, does anyone know what the difference in the 2 models are?

Had way too much goin on the last couple weeks... and it's bean in the high 90's. I was able to get the injection pump out and the speed control plate off, without loosing the springs, and I tied a string on it as advised. The good news is that I was able to get the pin out and the shaft...

Also, let's use this forum so we don't have to keep up in 2 places.

Yea, most things seam to follow that logic.. lol. I haven't rebuilt an injection pump but I just finished rebuilding the engine in my Mini Cooper R53, and it runs great. lol. I found this video and it didn't scare me off.. lol. I have a feeling that one of the rods that go up through the...

The rack moves freely left to right when I remove the IP.

Hey there folks, It's been a while and this old L245 has been running very well,, until recently.. and it may be something I messed up... grrr. So it a few weeks back I was running the brush cutter (not a Bush Hog Brand) and doing some general work with the front end loader. Had been going at...

Well, I poked around last night. Located the relief valve, inspected the high pressure side, and the intake lines for the hydraulic pump. I didn't find any fluid leeks. I also noticed if the 3-point control was in the middle, like for brush cutting, the 3-point would change position if the FEL...

I used "Standard Tractor Fluid" from Tractor Supply. It listed Kubota UTF on the can I swear it's acting like it's fluid starved. After it sits for about 5 minutes powered off, (I'm guessing the fluid settles), it works great and strong. Loader and bucket are slower to drop and dump than to...

Well I spoke too soon. Everything works correctly, and strong for about 10 minutes. Then the 3-point won't stay in place (lowers) and the FEL lifts jerky and only a little at a time. The bucket does the same thing and will only lift a few inches at a time. I noticed a couple of things when this...

I'll see if I can locate that valve and see if that's the source of the sound.

Recently I rebuilt the 4 hydraulic cylinders on the Bush Hog 1846QT and changed the hydraulic fluid in the Kubota L245F. I cleaned the filter as well. Everything works correctly, and strong for about 10 minutes. Then the 3-point won't stay in place (lowers) and the FEL lifts jerky and only a...

Finished the repairs and it runs great with ZERO leaks! Just like TractorTech said "Take your time and be careful." Thanks again for all the feedback. Monty

Finally finished replacing the hydraulic/transmission fluid!! The Kubota L245F (2WD) uses 1 fluid for everything and it took about 7 gallons. Mine had 2 plugs by the clutch, a recessed one (the left one) and a "normal" looking one (the right one). The one on the right is the correct on to use as...

Well I said I would post the results... After much research, head scratching, and trial & error, here's what happened. Also,,, quick shout out to the extremely helpful folks at Messicks. I'm a HUGE fan of owning the owner's and maintenance manuals for just about everything that can be repaired...

So I got a hold of the folks at Messick's and got some great info. They confirmed the rear axle cases get fluid from the hydraulic reservoir, and to pull the 2 lower plugs on the inside of the axle cases to drain the fluid that's in there. They also suggested I use a good quality UDT or even a...
