At extreme cold weather I cant steer to right, frozen right up. Left works fine Let her run for 45 mins or more shes fine. I assume water is the problem, but where? I have greased all the fittings I can find with no luck. Could the steering box be the problem? Anyone had this problem before?

Anyone know where to get a cab for an old L245? Curtis no longer makes them as far as I know

Its on an old L245DT Is it better to get rebuild kits or try and find replacement cyls ? Can anyone offer some "easy change" solutions? ie: swap whole cyl out for another? Thanks all

Most of my work with this tractor is done at night and in tight areas, by that I mean in the woods no external house lighting and poor snow conditions. I want all the light I can get since it is as least 16 miles to the nearest person that might find me in a F***ckd up situation at well below 0...

well that's the plan its still not that much wattage from the leds to add up. I still think there is something wrong

another note the voltage drop is only when ALL lights are on

Some more info as requested by many other posts, Voltage is measured at the battery, both battery post and out on the term, engine running at 1000 rpm Light bar 72 w tagged into orginal wire for high beam. rear work lights 2x55 w halogen stock front headlights, no other lights on tractor...

Just added a large led light bar to my L245dt and when you turn on the bar the volts drop to 12.3 other times the volts are 14.2. The bar is coupled to the original dismall poor lighting. Anyone got ideas? original allt is part #15411-64010 25 amps? Wondering about a 40 amp upgrade? Would...

Been a while since I posted anything, Fixed most of my problems cheap and easy from help from members input. But we seem to have a grinding and lack of power to the right rear wheel. How much trouble am in in for? I think its the gears in the final drive. Anyone know of cheap parts?

Yes I have drained the lower drains each time. Its more than milky fluid. you can see ice in it when its cold thu the fill plug. Ive been watching coolant and have not lost any. I think that it was just full of water when I got it and just are stuck with the other guys problem.

Well I think some of it has been there for awhile. I have kept it tarped outside for the last year. The first fluid change was horrible. They have gotten better but it still freezes up, but then again at -25 so did I. Shifter seals seem ok.

Well ive been lurking mostly for a while and have gotten some good advice from a few folks here. I got a big problem with water in the hydrolics of my old l245DT. I don't think the fluid was ever changed before I got it. I have drained and filled 5 times now warming and cycling things each time...

Danville VT? by chance. Im in Groton and need a tach meter.

Thanks for the advice. Yes front loader

Clutch slipping on a L245DT. Need some advice. How big a deal is it to replace and how much? I know the case has to be split. I have a few other problems that I wonder can be fixed at the same time. 1. Diff lock lever flops down all the time and never has any push back, is there a spring in...
