Adjusted the valves on my L245DT. WOW it really needed it. The tach stopped working at 1507 hours and who knows how many hours since any service was done. Obviously the valves have not been adjusted in many years because with the proper feeler guage in place I could rattle the rocker arms. BAd...

Well I had a big long write up and it was lost due to some "error" garbage here on the site. Do NOT fill the fluid with everything extended out! That is not the proper procedure for ANY hydraulic system. Over filling can result and at the very least one can get a hydraulic fluid bath when...

With the valve cover off you could turn the engine by hand and watch the intake on #1. As the intake opens and then closes the piston is upward on the compression stroke. To find TDC there are two things you could do. One is to remove the injector and use a rod or screw driver to feel when the...

Cyl #1 is the closest to the front of the engine toward the radiator so #2 is next to the flywheel.

How goes your project? I have since sold my L175 and bought an L245DT which is my third Kubota. I needed AG tires and FEL on a new property I bought so I had to move up and my shiny fresh project was just the ticket. Even though this L245 is ten years newer the old L175 started, run and drove...

Well I have more than a day of his operation cost tied up in my boats but my dually can't tow that freighter he has. :D :D :D Right now I have kept a limitation of a trailer queen for size but I am nearly maxed out in that area. My truck and boat hooked up are over 70' and it is not easy to...

Yea, I'm just thinking that someone will spend money where they want to so the dollar comparison that usually comes up is not subject to reason it is only subject to the one who is spending the money. So like me I spend crazy money on boats but I wouldn't spend that much on goats but the goat...

Deere is chasing market area that is really below them but sales exist so they are after them as I see it. My dad has a Deere lawn mower with a good Kohler engine and cast iron axels and suspension. I have not seen a Craftsman with cast iron suspension and I am not aware that they exist. Still...

I would expect that tall of a flag pole would become an area landmark. Yeah.... well you go past the red barn on the right then turn just past the flag pole, ya can't miss it....LOL :D :D Sounds like a cool project and fortunately you don't have any HOA's to deal with. Might check on county...

I grew up on tractors living in rural mid-America. Most everything we did involved a tractor but they were all my dads. After leaving the farm life I got into the automotive field and didn't hardly see a tractor for years. After I bought my first house and cleared all the trees I needed...

WELL...... you asked for advice................ LOL...... I see lots of it. :D :D :D Spending money on goats must be the meat kind or milkers or something for money I would think. If not must be a pricey hobby. If he wants to spend money he could get into offshore boats...............like me...

I have a few acres of briars on the caliber of blackberries and the like. The survey man would not get through them so I cut a path through them with my L245DT. My rear tires are liquid filled and the fronts are just inflated and I didn't have any problem doing this work. This was about a week...

LOL :D :D :D This L245DT is the original Kubota Orange. The L175 is in Kubota Bright Orange 2. In the shots I took it doesn't look right but the new owner sent me some shots of the tractor with the new equipment mounted on it painted in matching Bright Orange 2 and it looks right. I hope they...

Re: Sold OK. Boy this L245DT is the trick. :) The rear tires are filled and with the 4x4 it is unstoppable. I am doing a lot of grading and log moving since we are clearing area for the garden. There is a steep hill here that the L175 could climb but would slip a lot with turf tires. This...

Sold Well it is loaded to leave for it's new home. This little L175 is going to Ohio. I hope it will join us back here again. :) Farewell little orange buddy. :)

Well just to let you all know it is NOT red. This direct southern sun has a brutal glare and some of this off color look could be the paint not completely cured. I don't know or worry about any better explanation because I am not a photographer, as you can tell, so it is not going to be a...

It is Kubota "Bright Orange 2" Ya gotta get that computer screen fixed. LOL:D:D I took these shots in direct sun with a digital camera and the glare did strange things with the color and other things too. It doesn't look like real. It is beautiful in the new Kubota color. I could have ordered...

Best I can determine it is 1975. That is toward the end of the production run.

This tractor would make a nice show case piece and a parade tractor too. :)

We had several issues just like this on a brand new JLG machine at work. This was dropped directly to us with no run time other than production and it had some bad crimps resulting in hydraulic leaks. That is what warranty is for so it should be a small bump in a smooth road ahead. Good luck...
