Thanks, I did let it set for 24 hrs but maybe I didn’t torque it tight enough.

Thank Thank you, I’ll look into that.

It’s the male fitting for the wr long 3rd function that allows connection to the grapple.

I’m having trouble sealing a threaded hydraulic fitting on my tractor. I’ve tried Teflon tape and it started leaking after a day, so I removed the tape, cleaned it real good and used loctite 545 and again it began leaking after 1 day. Looking for advice has to what I should use to correct this...

8 yards x 36 yards. Thanks!

Leveled fresh gravel for the driveway. Installed new wicked 60 root rake grapple. The grapple is going to be fun to work with.

Thanks for the suggestion, my thought was to just bend the current bracket either 45 or 90 degrees and all will be good and no out of pocket expense.

Thank you, that is kinda what I was thinking but wanted to be sure.

I recently had a WR Long third function installed by a dealer while they were doing warranty repair. The bracket used to hold the hydraulic connectors to the FEL has the connectors pointing upward and back toward the front tractor guard. I need to remove the connectors from the bracket and...

I park it inside on new concrete floor and there are no signs of leaking so I’m assuming the dealer didn’t fill it completely after repairing a front axle leak.

Good point, the specs call for GL4 in front axle. The Lucas I used is rated at GL5 and is a non synthetic. I wonder if using the Lucas will do any harm? When I got the tractor back from a dealer after some warranty work and the front axle was 2 qts low so I used the Lucas to top it off.

Is Lucas 80w-90 Heavy Duty Gear oil a good choice for front axle?

Thanks for the reply! I’ll keep that in mind when looking for tires. Hopefully I‘ll talk with the dealer on Monday and at the very least find out if the size i need is in stock or available without a long wait.

Both front tires on my 2020 MT345e have a cut in between the treads. Does anyone know if the tires are covered under warranty? I haven’t been able to reach the dealer today.

Had the hydraulic fluid and filter change by an LS dealer. I noticed that the dipstick for the hydraulic fluid reads full to the top of the second notch on the stick. I thought it was supposed to be somewhere between the notches. should I be concerned? Should I drain some out? MT345.

Thank you

Manual recommends API GL4 ISO VG 32/46 LSTH400G

After replacing the hydraulic filter for the 50hr service I lost a little fluid, mostly from what was in the old filter. Now the manual gives specs for type of fluid to use but I’m not seeing these specs on any of the hydraulic fluid containers. Stopped by a LS dealer today and all they had was...

The error light was yellow. I’ve never noticed anything other than the F00 on the dash, I may have missed it if it did. Next time I will pay close attention to see if there is another code flashing. Thanks for the response.

I appreciate the response and I will check the exhaust flow unions. Will also speak to the dealer next chance I get. Thanks again and have a Happy 4th everyone!

My MT 345e, bought last summer, has had 4 regens in 48 hrs of use. We live in the city and only get to the farm on weekends where I use the tractor for grading driveway,occasional bush hogging and fel work.The first regen was at 14.6 hrs next 25hrs, 39.8 hrs and 48.2 hrs. Which seems pretty...

Reworked 30 yr old gravel driveway. No more weeds/grass, I can actually see gravel and a much better outline of the drive. Used a 6 box blade.

I am learning the ropes with my new MT345e, mostly with running a scraper blade and a box blade working on a gravel driveway, some of it flat and some of it on a hill. During the first 6 hours I would operate at 1500-1600 rpm. The next weekend I operated at 1800-2000 rpm. It was during the 2nd...

I recently purchased my first tractor, LS MT 345e and want to know what the proper torque is for the wheel bolts and nuts. Do the bolts torque at different settings than the nuts? Do the front wheels torque the same as the rear wheels? I have seen a few videos where these things do apply to some...
