kubota l345

I have a hydraulic problem with my 1982 L345 DT. The pump is almost no longer building pressure, and is no longer available anywhere. Is there a way to replace the hydraulic system with a 12 Volt electrical and hydraulic system which will do both functions (for 2 independent cylinders) of the...

I picked up a L345DT recently. It looks like it has lived outside. No surprise that it had a mouse condo under the instrument panel so I pulled the 4 screws and pulled out the majority of it and then used compressed air to blow out the rest. None of the wires were chewed - thank you - but now...

When I first start my kubota 4x4 l345dt and tilt the bucket straight down as to unload the bucket I can lift the front end off the ground about 1 ft. or more without a problem but if I try it again a minute or 2 latter it struggles to raise the front end again .and i hear a buzzing noise...

Hello Kubotans. I recently bought this tractor at auction and will receive delivery of it this weekend. I wanted to ask the community for any advice they have for me. I bought a brand new Branson 3520H in 2016 but this is my first used tractor. Also the Branson is a hydrostatic and this Kubota...

I've been blessed with destroyed wiring in my L345 which was in storage for longer than planned. Kubota no longer has the harness avail and the service manual doesn't indicate the gauge for the wiring. Does anyone happen to know the right kind of wire( solid core or strands ) and what gauge is...

Sloppy steering, In need of tie rod ends and drag link ends for my L345dt. Factory parts are way overpriced and wondering if there is an alternative in aftermarket. I would need LandR tie rods and the draglink assembly or ends for it.. I could cut out the ends of the draglink and weld in new...

Value of "rough looking" but "solid working" Kubota L345 4wd with loader I'm looking at a listing for a Kubota L345 4wd with loader. Owner is asking $5000 "firm". It's kinda rough looking, tach and hour meter don't work and so owner claims to know nothing about how many hours. Hood and grill...

I removed a rear hydraulic control unit from my kubota L345 and put a hose connecting the two ports where the unit was connected to the hydraulic pump on the tractor. This worked fine for a while, but now I am constantly having to disconnect one end of the hose to bleed out air. Is it possible...

Hello everyone, I have a Kubota L345DT. The problems are, there is hydraulic fluid coming out the bottom of the steering wheel, I知 assuming there痴 some oring in the steering tube I need to replace? Any ideas? The second problem is, the clutch is shot. Slips badly, the PTO does not disengage when...

I need to change the oil seal where the bevel gear case meets the axle case. I have everything taken apart but I can't get the axle case off so I can change the seal. I found this thread but the discussion is about a slightly newer design. According to the parts diagram for the L345dt there is...

My hydraulic pump is only putting out 800 PSI when loaded. I can't find a pump anywhere and I've searched the net trying to find used or salvaged parts with no luck. The pump has a power streering pump on the back of it I think the pump part number is 35340-45110 according to messicks part...

The L185 sat in the woods for roughly 12 years it's up and running maybe not the best at times but now the steering is broke, the l345 sat up for 8 years and the crankcase was filled with water when I first received it the water was bypassing the Rings going through the stack into the crankcase...

I saved a l345dt with the 1720 loader from a certain wasteful death. I now have the tractor inside my shop , the previous owner removed the engine and did a partial tear down because of a stuck piston , the parts were difficult to collect and round up because the old timer I bought it from is...

My L345's power steering box has developed a fluid leak. It leaks at the bottom front cover, directly into the top of the clutch housing, dripping out the housing's bottom weep hole. It leaks enough to empty the reservoir in a couple days. It hasn't soaked the clutch yet - I'd like to fix it...

Hi all, I have an older L345DT that is giving me fits - nothing electrical is working. Oil lights wont come on, flashers wont come on, head lights wont come on, never mind trying to start it. I've checked all the fuses and they seem to be good. I've checked the ground connection between...

does anyone have a fix for the front hydraulic pump ........the spline on the " chain coupling half" is striped....I welded it to the nut that holds the pulley to the drive shaft of the engine...........the bolts came lose (that hold the pump to the frame...

I bought my first tractor it's a 1982 L345DT with a L1720 FEL. When I first bought it the hydraulics didnt work at all but I found that the discharge of the pump was plugged with black sludge after I put it back together 3 point started working but FEL still wouldn't work but the bucket would...

I am new to this forum but would like to know if anyone has replaced a clutch system on the L345 4x4? I all so have to replace the fork in the pto is this going to be a major job when I break apart the trans. I have the parts and it is hard to find a manual on this tractor. If anyone has any...

I have always wanted to install a frost-plug block heater in my 1982 Kubota L345DT, engine model V1501-DA. This engine was manufactured before Kubota started manufacturing engines with a threaded port built into the engine block for the purpose of quickly installing a thread-in block heater...

Am going to look at a 1979 Kubota L345 with 1400 hours tomorrow......To the members here who own this model......Anything I should look for, are parts easy to get and what are they like for cold starting. Will be using for snowblowing and getting wood.....Thanks in advance

I was bush-hogging and hit a stump. Instead of the shear pin on the mower breaking, something stopped the pto shaft from turning. I can turn it by hand and feel no kind of resistance. Initially, the pto shift lever would move into low or high without engaging, but then would move only into high...

Can anyone tell me what loaders will fit the L345?

A few weeks ago I described a problem I had with rats destroying my wiring and instrument light sockets on my L345. Since I bought this tractor used I didn't know until I began the rewiring that apparently I wasn't the first to have this problem with this tractor. Consequently some of the wiring...

Well just brought home a L345 the other day. Didn't notice any sizeable leaks when I bought it. Ran it for about an hour and noticed a little leak at the front axle. Now big deal. However, parked the tractor in the garage for the night and came to find a decent size hydraulic puddle under the...

Over the winter my kubota L345's wiring was attacked by rats. Naturally, the wiring harness I need that includes the instrument panel guages and lights is no longer available. I have contacted salvage yards all over the U.S. and have been unable to locate any harnesses, bulb sockets or bulbs. I...

While bushhogging over the past several weeks, my tractor would stall and not start for several minutes. This would happen after at least an hour operating the machine. The fuel level would be somewhere around a half tank, and the engine was not overheating. I could get it to turn over, but it...

Bought this old machine a year ago when we moved to a small farm. Two things I'd like to get input from you all. First, the hour meter reads 1500+ hours and the gauge seems to work (needle moves and time clicks off) but when running a brush hog, I can't seem to get the rpm high enough on the...

These pictures show a plug that blew out of the block from just behind the hydraulic filter on my Kubota L345. Oil spewed from the hole. I had noticed the plug partly protruding the day before and tamped it back in flush. I used the tractor for about 4 hours afterwards. Is this a pressure relief...

I am hoping someone will be able to provide the tyre pressures for an L345 DT.

I bought a 86 Kubota L345DT 4x4 about 3 months ago. I'm having a couple issues with it. My clutch is not disengaging/engaging like it should. When pressing in the clutch and the brakes, the tractor is still trying to pull. Then the clutch pedal is not coming back up. I have to pull it up with my...

My PTO will shift OK without mower attached, but will just grind gears with mower attached. Can this be corrected by adjustment of the clutch and, if so, any advice for quick and easy adjustment.

Thanks to some great help on a prior problem I am hoping for more. The control lever on my L345 works fine as long as I hold it in an up position, but when I release it the lever falls on its own and the arms go down. It lifts with very little pull but the arms remain up as long as I hold the...

I recently bought a 1982 vintage Kubota with a snowplow. I want to take the plow off for the summer but am uncertain what to do with the hose connections to the tractor under the seat. I am told by my local dealer that it depends on whether it is an open or closed center system. If open, I'd...

Hi Everyone, Does anyone have or know where I can find the part referenced in the title line (Kubota L345DT front-end loader shaft assembly)? Please respond if you do. I am not looking to purchase an entire machine, just the part mentioned. Thanks, John812

We have an older L345DT at work (probably late 70's or early 80's) and we started having some starting issues after we replaced the fuel filter. We believe that the problem was air in the line , which we corrected, but now we are have a fuel leak at the second "air cock" when the tractor is...

Is there any way to flush or remove crud from fuel tank without completely removing the tank?

Manual for kubota L345 says transmission fluid should flow freely from check plug, but does not show where the plug is located. There is a small plug on left side below gear shift. Is the check plug?

Hi, I am trying to find out what a fair price would be for a 1980 Kubota L345dt (4wd) with a six foot loader. I have replaced both front wheel drives and both hyd. pumps less than a 150 hrs. ago. It has a total of 1550 hrs. on it and starts and runs good every time. There are no issues with it...

Heh Guys; I'm new to forum. I have a problem with my tractor. Had trans re-built by dealer. My PTO will not engage when clutch pushed down. If I stop engine, engage the low PTO, start tractor PTO will kick back out. When I stop motor, engage high PTO, implement will run, but will not stop when...

Anyone have an idea of the value of a Kubota L345 4X4 with loader and ~1700 hours?

Would love to have a tractor but dont have the cash for something nice. I came across an ad and the owner says "2nd gear is bad". He wants $4500 including a L1720 loader. Dont know the hours but it has been kept outside and looks pretty beat. Pics are attached. Can I resonably use this...

I have not yet found an owners service manual yet and had a few questions on the transmission in my machine. 1. How full should the trans be? I assume there is a side plug you can remove and fill until it seeps. 2. What type of fluid is used? 3. Does the same fluid go back to the rear and...

My first L345DT had the model 1720 loader. It was made in the U.S. I always thought it was too big & heavy for the tractor. It's length put the load way out - steering was hard. It wasn't removable so the bulk and weight were always there. Here's what it looked like: I've been looking...

Hi all, I am calling in from sunny Wales where Kubota L345DT's are a bit thin on the ground and before I start I am sorry if my terminology is rubbish! I have a hydraulics problem. My 3 point link is working fine but I have an auxillary hydraulic feed for my tipping trailer which I tried for...

I'm looking for either a complete steering box (power steering) or the steering shaft and steering ball assembly for a Kubota L345. Any replys will be helpful.

My l345DT came from Texas so it looks like this will be her first winter. We usually get a week or 2 of 0* weather and a couple cold days of -15*. I have seen freeze plug variety and the stick on version. What is available for my tractor and from where?

I bought a work shop manual (WSM) for my L345DT. It is about 170 pages and only covers clutch replacement, steering, and scheduled maintenace. I want a much more in depth manual. I have found some online but dont want to make the same mistake again. I found the 97897-10540 manual but do...

I would like to find a decent Kubota L345DT or L355DT for sale - an original 1720 loader would be a plus. Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks, Dick B

What would be a fair price for a 1983 Kubota L345Dt tractor with loader (no welds) 1750hrs. four wheel drive is good, sheet metal is good, it had new clutch about 120hrs ago. It does not appear to have any major issues and appears to be well taken care of. Is $8000 a fair price?

Okay, I got a "Grab Bag of Kubota Parts" off ebay and it is basically 3 Hydraulic remotes for an L305 or L345. I bought these thinking I could use them on my L4200, but they are not stand alone hydraulic valves but seem to tie into the tractors hydraulic system directly, which must be under...

L345DT w/ Loader and 5\' brush hog I am looking for pricing info and prior owners thoughts on a used 345DT being sold in NH. The dealer selling the machine has a very good reputation; however the tractor looks in rough shape. Hood/Sheetmetal has been poorly repainted, Loader bucket is on good...

I'm looking for a belly mower for my L345. Woods did make a model L306K24 for it. Any suggestions? Also is there any after market cabs for these? Kubota says they didn't make one. Also The center link on the three point hitch was a long cat 0. Any aftermarket one avaible that bis long. I have a...

My tractor does not go when clutch is engaged. It was working yesterday just fine. I went out to use it today and it started just fine, the hydraulics work just fine, but the tractor won't move.

Hi from a Newbie. I have just bought a Kubota L345DT in the Uk and the tractor does not come with a front end loader. Unfortunately Kubota never imported their loader (US manufactured) so the only loaders available were after market ones. I did find one of these for sale, but it was sold by...

Am helping a friend work on her Kubota L345DT tractor. The alternator isn't charging, we have no service manual. I need to know the electrical configuration of the regulator so as to be able to test if the trouble is in the alternator or the regulator. I/E is the regulator an "A" circuit or a...

Help! I got down to the in-laws to pick up the tractor and head up to the ridge, and found that the rubber pipe on the hydraulic line just behinfd the filter had split and all the hydraulic fluid had run out. Replaced the line and refilled the reservoir with 6 gals of fluid. No action on the...

I have a L345DT that was leaking oil from behind the alternator. In my trouble shooting I pulled out the dip stick and a oil/diesel mixture sprayed out. It was over full by around 2 gallons. How could that much diesel have gotten in the oil ?
