Cool project, thanks for taking the time to share. I have a couple old L345dt's waiting for the same treatment. They are great tractors, I just passed 100hrs of use on the L305dt I bought a couple years ago, don't know how I'd get along without it! The 305 is just a bit too small for the...

Thanks to Lance, @007kubotaguy , got the exhaust elbow and fender handles!

Received this PM from a user with no post count on a want ad....scammer? "Hello Mr evantwheeler, good to see your request . i have a L345 KUBOTA that's been abandoned for quite sometime now and I'm looking to auction all my farm Equipment as I'm relocating to VEGAS to enjoy retirement . the...

Any experience with cleaning or rebuilding the original injectors? I'm tinkering on two L345dt's. They both run, but as I go through the mechanical systems, I'd like to freshen up as much as I can without completely buying everything new. 8 new injectors between the two isn't going to...

It's the ads. This site is hardly bearable with how it bogs down computer.

Anyone parting an L345/L345dt? I am in Southern California, and realize shipping is likely required for all this due to not many of these tractors in this area. Wish list: 1. L345 fender tail light lens. See pic. 2. A single used kubota orange L345dt front wheel for 9.5-16 tire. I...

I had to make a pulling plate out of a large washer by cutting a slot in it so it would slip over the steering shaft and then pulling on the washer transfers the pulling force to the base of the wheel without ripping up the plastic.

Hi all, I ordered a bunch of parts from Messicks to freshen up my tractor, but I wan't able to find the fuel hose (side note, no, I did not call them and ask them directly, didn't think to do that until now). It looks like really nice hose, It is not dry rotted and hard like typical rubber hose...

NIW, do you have experience with the ebay aluminum radiator? I took one of my 345 radiators to the shop around the corner, they hot tanked it and pressure tested and said the core tubes are worn out. $500 for a replacement from one of their venders, which I'm obviously not going to do for a...

Dick, I sent you a PM with a lot more words than this response, and also a few photos. I really should start my own thread on my tractor adventures.....someday. Not only did I end up buying the nice looking local 345dt I had previously shared with you a couple weeks ago, I bought a second...

Can you share any details on this mod to replace the OE mesh screen filter? How about a ball valve in the return pipe, would that be of any benefit? Seems like the only way to service the filter, even with the updated spin on type filter, is to allow the transmission fluid to drain out...

Does the left over "coating" from this process attract dust? I've got my tractor torn down with no sheet metal on it and I want to "detail" everything clean and fresh. I'm here searching for solutions for a finish/protectant after all this work. This formula is intriguing. Whatever I use, I...

Can you share this procedure? Sounds like you are on your way to having a nice "free" tractor!
