Compare the new starter to the one that came off the tractor - number of teeth, distance from pinion to mounting surface, etc. Also try connecting a 12v positive jumper cable directly to the main post of the starter and shorting the smaller spade directly to the main post too. If the starter...

May be good not to take it apart until more testing locates the root cause of trans fluid leaking into the engine. Very UNLIKELY to be caused by the engine's rear main seal. It's more likely a problem in the hydraulic system. The L3650GST is basically a regular gear-type tractor but the gears...

The most common cause of no action at the starter is a poor connection at the small wire going to it on the end of the solenoid. Try shorting that spade to the starter's main wire connection. If the starter clunks and runs, 12v isn't getting to the solenoid (the starter's actual on-switch)...

Yes, and my friend's "kids" (in their 50's) are loving it on Fall Foliage rides.

One reason I hadn't been following this thread is I've been re-assembling a Honda Aspencade that was taken apart for electrical issues. It was apart a long time - some wiring was now missing. I noticed all the plug-ins were either shaped or color-coded to avoid mis-connections. Maybe Kubota...

I made a push-pull reach rod from the tip of an old fishing pole - the tip guide fits over the pin. When reassembled, the hour meter cable restricts lifting the dash, but a reach rod gets to it. Running a rod thru the console would be pretty "up-town" :cool: The first time I test-drove my...

Quoting from PoTreeBoy's post back couple weeks ago : "I'm surprised noone who owns an L4150 has piped up. Seems like it'll make a capable utility tractor to me - 50 HP, hydraulic shuttle, independent PTO, loader, power steering, draft control." I'm a bit embarrassed I've missed this whole...

Good discussion - reading the original post I was assuming the return from the trailer was going to the second port on the remote? Did you happen to try connecting to the other remote (if there are 2) ? Dan is right that the trailer will perform best if its valve is fed by the tractor's...

Welcome to OTT. The L345 is a great tractor - Kubota got established in the US market with it - I bought my first one in 1982. Its very capable - the perfect size for many jobs, not too big, not too small - handles a 6ft rotary cutter. If your loader is working ok without jerky motion, the...

Not sure which part you are after - These people in Maine have L345 & L355 parts - many fit L305 too.

Nice to see your rig is working as you wanted. Even if it's a bit slower, switching to the machine's internal system your hydraulics should be more problem-free. Reported failures of the original front pump shaft's connection to the engine seem to be on the rise as these machines age...

For that size tire (not very big as tractor tires go), air pressure should normally be down around 15 psi. If so it will roll smoothly - you won't really notice the tread lugs. Best to handle it alone so you can sense its balance. Work it away from the studs and roll it to where it can lean...

There is a rubber breather tube under the seat - part 150. Good to check it - if missing, rainwater can get in.

Does Kubota's CVT use the new "universal fit" drive belt? links here and here.

Maybe the little ones don't shut the fuel off - I should remember I don't know anything about them.

"........ also found a poppet lodged open with a piece the plates # 160 / all the other pieces were in the pluming & oil cooler ....." The plate normally shouldn't see much force. Maybe a loose piece jammed the barrel and the torque wrecked the plate, sending scraps everywhere.

I think the plates were collateral damage. The slippers normally slide smoothly on polished surfaces - but once that perfect fit starts to get damaged, metal bits start chewing things up, the slippers fail and wreck all of it. Most HST's perform perfectly for a long time - yours is the unusual...

When an HST fails in the slipper surfaces its junk. Kubota doesn't even ask dealers to return the old "cores" from swap-outs. There's no way to be sure of reliable function again. When I had mine apart, the "money parts" were all still fine. I had even bought a complete extra unit in case...

Need to check the regs in your location, but if you've only had the tractor a few days, put the seller on notice that you intend to invoke the Uniform Commercial Code which says purchases over (1000?) can be reversed by the buyer within (7?) days. I know it applies to vehicles in MA - so maybe...

Just posted this with your other thread. Now I...
