    I think someone else may have posted that, I have never did a conversion, mine came with an adapter block, but Google searches have provided no source.

    L1501DT info please

    You would use the L175 for the engine, steering electrics, basically anything but the 4WD, for that you would use the L225DT. FREE KUBOTA TRACTOR MANUALS

    David Bradley Pull Type Adjustable Blade

    Added a set of thrust washers and a bearing surrounded with a rubber o-ring as a dust seal I did not like the idea of the three point draw bar riding directly on the pintle insert I think I am done with this at this point, paint, maybe next year

    L345 not moving in high gear range

    I would also lean towards the L3001, but if you are talking to a Kubota Dealer IT IS A L345, or they will not sell you parts (generally, almost always speaking). My local dealer still thinks I have a L175 and a L285, that is what I buy parts for, for my 'illegal' L1500DT. Just Sayin

    L345 not moving in high gear range

    Russell is correct the L345DT is US, are you sure it is not a L3001DT? Not sure about the 'cartridge vs spin-on' my L1500DT has a spin-on and the PO who had it for 20+ years did no mods to it? I just noticed (after 8+ years) this chart does not show the US equivalent to the L1500 DT version...

    David Bradley Pull Type Adjustable Blade

    Got the Big-Ole washers today, that's a lot'a steel, that's why they are $5.75 each Takes up almost all the play, still rocks a tad-bit but 1000% better and a much solider ride I am hoping, raining now so it'll wait for another test run

    David Bradley Pull Type Adjustable Blade

    Tack welded in some 3/4" washers and two new 11" bolts, nothing rides on threads and the slop is gone Was a real bear getting it all lined up, a one man show with floor jacks, come-alongs and a demo bar, also nursing a recent shoulder injury/repair, but it is together - never to be apart again...

    David Bradley Pull Type Adjustable Blade

    I found some 11" ones on eBay, New Open Box, with a bit of rust on them, $9.00 each, not too bad!

    L1500 operators manual

    The L175 will work for starting, shifting, steering, brakes and basic operation of the two-wheel drive. For the four-wheel drive you will want the L185DT or preferably the closer L225DT manual.

    David Bradley Pull Type Adjustable Blade

    Broke everything down today, greased up the main pivot point and reassembled that Ordered some 3" ID washers and 10" Grade 8 Bolts to finish it up These holes are not quite 3/4" any more, I'll weld in some thick washers to remedy that, the bolt did not help matters much

    David Bradley Pull Type Adjustable Blade

    Possibly, or weld in a correct size washer to do hole repair. 3" washers are out there for the main pivot point, boy they are sure proud of them, quite spendy.

    Hydraulic pump

    I always heard it was a North America thing, could be US only? I guess one could go to a dealer and ask.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Probably not a bad idea, rarely out in the weather though. Mostly for a small weed wacker when mowing, but will come in handy for any small AC item.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Thank you sir, I know a lot of it's not perfect, I don't have a machine shop, I do what I can, the best I can, with what I got. And I'm generally happy with the results. And if I wasn't you wouldn't see it until I was. 🙄
