    L295 Tachometer

    on my L345 the cable and the bevel gear that turns the cable were both bad. When you get the cable attach it to the tach and turn it with a drill. You can also attach the cable to the bevel gear and run the tractor, see if it turns.

    L345DT clutch inspection

    Hi all, clutch is not great on my tractor, adjusted the link rod out as far as possible to get clutch engaged. There has been a lot of dubious repairs on my tractor before I got it and would like to check the status o the clutch before splitting the tractor if possible. It looks like there is...

    Yep, that's what I was thinking, as long as the taper is the same it should work fine. Thanks for the tip on welding, that looks a lot stronger than just a straight face to face weld

    L345DT in need of TLC

    Hi all, on my L345DT the tie rod knuckle on the left hand side at the wheel end is heavily worn. My tie rod is welded at both ends, as opposed to the drag link which has screw in adjustable ends, is this normal? Kubota wants $300+ for a full tie rod, the end doesn't seem to be available as a...

    L345DT in need of TLC

    I got the axle case off, its a tube within a tube so you need to open the gap with a chisel, then you can slowly lever it off until the o-ring pops out. The c clips are two half moon clips with a lip that sit into a groove in the shaft and and compression fit into the bevel gear to keep it in...

    L345DT in need of TLC

    Hi Guys, update on front axles. So I disassembled the side with the bad leak, and much to my surprise when I removed the steering arm the entire axles housing fell off. When I looked inside I was missing both upper bevel gears and the "yoke" shaft, there was no oil seal and no collar with the...

    L345DT in need of TLC

    I'll park the accelerator for the moment - need the engine running to figure it out better. Over Christmas I'm planning to work on the front axle, both axle cases are leaking oil at the joint where the wheel turns, one very badly. I have purchased the oil seals and o-rings in the parts diagram...

    L345DT in need of TLC

    Ok, understand it now, was looking at the parts diagram wrong. So basically the handle you pull up just pulls the rod back a bit further than the accelerator and cuts fuel supply to kill the engine. My foot accelerator is a little different because of the floor of the cab, they seem to have...

    L345DT in need of TLC

    The gasket repair seems to have worked, fingers crossed. I have another question :D - I'm slowly working through all the issues on this tractor It looks like the front end was removed at some stage, maybe to fix a water pump. There is this extra spring attached to the speed controller and...

    L345DT in need of TLC

    Yes I can get it out about half an inch, i will try and clean out the old broken gasket, cut the new one in half coat it with gasket weld and slide it in from each side...might work, or else I have made a small leak into a huge job:(

    007kubotaguy - thats what I was afraid of... I'm only trying to replace the gasket behind the plate- the black seal looks ok, do I still need to pull the entire shaft?

    L345DT in need of TLC

    Hi Guys, got the injectors, haven't fitted them yet but saved a lot of money. Managed to fix the hydraulic speed adjuster, removed the entire plate, it freed up pretty easily, I welded a small piece of extra stock on the end of the shaft and refitted the handle, worked out fine. I have another...

    Thanks again, what’s the core charge about? Does the injector contain hazardous material?
