The oil sensor light and the temperature gauge worked fine. I moved the tractor over to Corvallis and when I went to unload it I didn't have any oil pressure light or starter when I went to start the tractor. The fellow who was with me smacked the voltage regulator with something and the oil...

Howdy, I'm hoping for some trouble shooting expertise on why my loader hydraulics has become too jerky to operate. The loader is the L1720 made for the L345 and L345DT. It has the external pump reservoir mounted on the left side of the loader frame. This has the external pump driven by the...

It has been a year long project. But I'm done, well almost, I have the final head retorque to do this morning. The question I have is should I back off 1/4 turn before the retorque or simply retorque. Googling this question and checking reputable sites for high performance engines has some...

I happened across an great deal on a land pride back blade and had the ingenious idea that I would remove the backhoe and use the bucket and back blade for winter snow removal chores with my L345DT. I took the backhoe off and much to my disappointment the three point hitch hydraulics didn't...

I've finally got the engine rebuilt and ready to install after many delays, wrong parts, SLOW delivery, and so forth. In one of the threads I saw that in addition to replacing the throw out bearing and dual clutch that it may be an opportune time to replace the transmission input shaft seal...

Since this is sort of a separate topic from the rebuilding the L345DT engine, I thought I would make it a separate thread. Today, I thought I'd simply take the dual stage clutch, discs, and flywheel to the Kubota dealer and save myself a lot of heartache by having them use their special tool...

I my searches I have seen nothing to indicate an L345DT crankshaft nut would be left handed. The only mention of thread direction was on a D1105E and it was right hand (CCW to loosen). I've used a pneumatic 1/2" on the deep 46mm socket and a long breaker bar with liberal doses of PBlaster on...

The saga continues. After many delays including finding out the old head was cracked; having to order a replacement head... twice; having valves and seats ground; water flange mis-match taken care of; head themometer size mis-match; and waiting for miscellaneous parts to arrive, e.g. OFI...

Here is where I currently am at on my L345DT TLB project. Symptoms: tractor is difficult to start at temps below 40F even with multiple extended glowplug activation (replaced all glowplugs) and an oil pan heater (the hose heater didn't work even though a multimeter indicated its should...

The L345DT TLB I acquired has been difficult to start. I changed the glow plugs (lone was bad and the others seemed to heat slowly); replaced the air filter (filthy); replaced the fuel filter (gunky); change oil to 10w30 for the winter; set the valves; and looked for blow by. The Harbor...

L345DT TLB: Over the week I replaced the glow plugs (one was dead and the others SLOWWWW to heat and the forum indicated I should change the whole set), changed the fuel filter (nasty), air filter (filthy), and the oil and filter. The fourth glow plug necessitated removing the first two...

I've rounded up very good service/parts/operating manuals for my L1720 FEL and 4672 backhoe. I've been search out which is the best manual for the L345DT. I have the I&T K3 manual. My question is, I was wondering what folks opinion is regarding the better service manual between the Jensales...

Howdy, I just became the proud owner/slave to a L345DT with a L1720 FEL and 4672 BH. The exhaust manifold has a couple of holes and I was wondering if a V1505 exhaust manifold will fit. From what I can search out there seems to be some interchangeability between the various V150X permutations...
