Hasnt overheated yet but today I was using the PTO for about 15 minutes straight , 70 degree day, and the temp guage started getting close to the HOT zone. I noticed that my upper radiator hose was hot and had pressure but my lower was cool and didnt feel like had pressure. Previous owner...

So I went and looked at this backhoe and although it was a little rough around the edges I still bought it. I got it for pretty cheap so Im expecting to have to put a little bit of work or hoses into it. Any insight of who the maker is? Would like to learn a little bit about this old hoe.

Can anyone identify the backhoe below based on the pic? Was told its an older Woods with an "extendable boom" and a 16" bucket. Comes with pto pump and resevoir too for pretty cheap. Im considering buying it but cant find out info about it based on the pic.

op bought a John Deere painted orange with a Kubota decal kit most likely:D

This is likely what ill do. BUT last couple years people on craigslist have gotten extremely dishonest about what they are selling at least in my experience so when I travel far, I always end up buying when i should be walking away. I see skidsteer backhoes a lot wonder if they would work to...

Im looking for a used backhoe attachment and it seems I must use a 3pt settup for my L345DT since a BH subframe isnt available for my rig according to my local Dealer In my area, Northern New England, there isnt much to choose from used in the $3500 range EXCEPT I keep seeing listings for brand...

The other problem I see with them being wide like they are is they extend beyond the width of the bucket so that may be a little trouble for some tasks. I like the wheel spacer idea if I can find some. Not sure what other models or years may have the same stud pattern. Has anyone cut the welds...

ahhh, sounds like a good plan. Is there a bolt pattern to look for? Like does my bolt pattern fit 1950-2018 L series tractors?:D that would be nice but...

Yeah mine are 8-18

The fronts are 1 piece rims. If I reverse them they contact the loader frame on hard turn. Based on some pics around the net it looks like my rims have a different offset than what ive seen others have and It also looks like the rims/tires are the wrong size. Edit:IN my Ebay Service Manual it...

They are 8-18 front and 13.6-28 rears. Im searching around now for stock size and have only found the 345 non 4x4 and its a 6-16 tire

Will an aftermarket newer valve like a joystick control one fix the issue? I realize I may have a volume or pressure issue too but as far as 2 controls at once.

Maybe I mis described the speed but by slow I mean at full throttle, it takes say 7 seconds for the boom to raise all the way up and maybe 5 to full range of motion on bucket. I assume the manual will tell me the procedure for pressure testing? Like where to screw in a gauge? The fluid looks...

yeah I bought a similar ebay Manual and it only had 2 real involved sections in it about Dual clutch and Power steering. Its like its missing a bunch but Wolfman gave me a link to a better Manual that seems to have more info. Yeah the rims were reversed by PO to clear the loader frame but not...

Hey thanks so much, that manual looks like it has a lot more info than the ebay one I bought. I had suspicions that the front rims were not stock. They have an offset different than ones Ive seen in pics of other 345dts. And when reversed so they look more correct, it sets the rims in too far...

I have a Great Bend 330 on my L345DT. It runs off of my tractor hydraulics and its fairly slow unless I rev the engine to the top and even then its not all that fast. I cant dump the bucket AND raise the boom at the same time. Is this an issue with the volume my tractor hydro puts out?

I bought one of the "service " manuals off the internet but appears incomplete. Where is the best place to get a complete one?

New to the orange club. I just picked up an L345DT. Runs great and have fixed a few minor electrical issues/leaks and tach drive/cable. Youll see in the pics the wheels are reversed and at first I thought it was done by PO for widening the rig for stability but I turned them around and they...
