My L245DT has had no problems starting until today. It is cold ~32 F after a 20F night. Battery is fully charged, brand new at 850 cca. Also semi-new voltage regulator and alternator. Tractor has worked with all of these new components just fine. The four fuses on the dash appear fine...

What do ya'll think... sound good? $323 installed for added safety, not to mention an extra 150 lbs on the rear wheels. Its going on my L245DT

My new-to-me L245DT came with a bent stabilizer arm for the L1200 Loader (one of two arms that come up and hold a 'swinging' bracket that sets in front of the hood). The bar is twisted, as you can see in the pic. Two questions: (1) How important is it that I get tie the two arms together...

I'm looking for rear wheel weights for my L245DT and wondering if others have had much luck finding used weights, whether "OEM" or "made to fit" weights. Suggestions for finding good weights? (looking for wheel weights only, not 3-point ballast or tire ballast).

$4100 4x4 Late '70s or early '80s model. Just under 1500 hrs 12 speeds (two hi-lo gears x 4 gears) Runs strong, surprising power, new hoses, belt, steering overhaul. Tires are weather-checked but hold air as new. Lots of tread left. Hyrdaulics work great, 3 point and PTO run strong. I've run a...

Just bought a nice L245DT. One of the first things I'm troubleshooting is the charging system. Tomorrow I'll confirm that the alternator is charging the system properly (seems to be). The charging light does NOT come on until the key is turned OFF. So the key is off, I pull it, and the charging...

w. loader. Everything works good. Haven't driven it yet. Seller doesn't know if hour meter works which either means it doesn't work or seller has not used the tractor much/long. What's a right price for machine assuming good condition and engine hours ~1000?

Hey all, I'm seriously considering upgrading to more hp and a loader, so I'm thinking about selling my L1500DT. It's running great and handles my 5 acres pretty well, but I have a few "big" jobs in mind. I did a steering box overhaul on it and had a crack in a hydro line welded. Steers like...

Planning on adding FEL and at least one remote to L1500DT. Vic had a nice article on tapping the line once, but I'm wondering how I should set up for two diff. control valves (both open-centered), one for FEL and the other for remote. I modified a pic from hoyetractor.com/remote.htm for what I'm...

A L2950DT came up locally, 1119 hrs, FEL, great condition, comes with 60" and 72" buckets, asking just under $10,000. What would you give for it?

My L1500dt shoved tons of drifted snow (see here) before I notice some light brown drops in the white fluff. Hydraulic fluid was oozing out of the high pressure line just before it enters the 3 point whenever I attempted to lift the blade. The oozing appeared to come out just before the end of...

In the US midwest, we had a blizzard pass through...only around 10" here, but it blew around and drifted. I'd still like a little more tractor for other reasons, but I've been impressed with the L1500dt's abilities! Sprung a hydraulic leak at the end, but that's for another thread (here). Minus...

I'm looking for advice: I have an old L1500DT running great. I have about $3500 USD in it after a steering overhaul. I can get a new buhler-allied 95 loader for it at around $3500, bringing my tractor-investment to around $7000. The hours on the tractor show 1500, but the engine came off...

Note: I'm not selling, I'm interested in buying... 1996 KUBOTA M7030SU 4wd 5600 hrs Tractor was used to mow for a county under contract, many of those hours spent driving to and fro on the road. Claims to come with extra set of rear wheels and tires. Decent shape, no loader...that's all I...

I'm looking to set up my L1500DT with a FEL and rear remotes for a log splitter. My understanding is that some simple plumbing is needed to make it happen. A couple of threads are helpful (like here and here), and certainly Vic's video (here), but not quite complete for this DIYer. I'm...

Just got a L1500dt. The guy said he just fixed a water leak (pinhole leak where the metal tube/block receives the radiator hose and attaches to engine block...fixed with a weld). I've only used the tractor about 1 hr and I'm afraid the oil is looking a bit thin. I'm a newby, and perhaps looking...
