Hello! Searched and read posts on this, but didn't see much. If there are any which answer my questions, please let me know. Have a 1984 L345DT with FEL and backhoe, started up recently, sounds great. The backhoe is an L4510 with its own PTO driven hydraulic pump and reservoir. I have the...

And of course, I would have to take the backhoe off to put on a rotavator or any other 3 point implement.

Great news! Engine started, no smoke, hydraulics working. Thank you all for your advice and help. More questions-- What's best for the L345DT for breaking up clay soil? What do you think about a dual action rotavator with reverse and counter rotating tines? Any cautions or precautions about...

If I understand, there's really no need to use the decompression control, either for starting or especially for stopping. Is that right? However if my battery is weak, I can use the decompression knob for starting. If I do, make sure the fuel stop lever is not pulled. Is the right sequence--...

From what I'm reading, the decompression knob has two functions: One is to relieve cylinder compression at starting which will get oil moving through the engine and reduce wear, particularly with cold starts. Decompression sounds like it's done in coordination (? opposition?) with glow plug...

Planning to start up the tractor tomorrow. Is there a recommended start sequence and coordination with the decompression knob and glow plugs? Thanks!

I am new again to tractoring. I raked some hay in the early 90's on a 1948 Farmall, and briefly pushed some dirt around on one in 1985. Any recommendations and specifications for a particular inline coolant filter would be great. And yes, please tell me the starting sequence. Thanks very much!

I think a blow dryer and/or covering the tractor with a tarp and a thermostatically controlled heater underneath may be the best/easiest/cheapest methods for right now. I just checked, and the inline coolant heater is actually not stock. It must have been added. The local Kubota dealer never...

Thank you all for the great advice! I have more questions. It's cold here, below freezing, into at least the 20's Fahrenheit. Plugged in my block (coolant) heater, which tripped my panel circuit breaker, so I'm thinking the heater must be shorted out. Looks like it's the original 1984 part...

I have a 1984 L345DT with front loader and backhoe. I've read some of the other posts and gotten good information, but still get confused about some of these things, including hydraulic and transmission oils. If I understand my tractor correctly, the transmission, hydraulic and rear differential...

Anyone out there with a rollbar for the 1984 Kubota L345DT? New not available currently, and the tractor parts place near me in Oregon has never heard of this. Would really like to be safe and have one. Has anyone here made one? That may be an option also. Thanks.

Realize this is an old thread, just starting now, 2022 with similar questions-- Have an 1984 L345DT (4WD) with front loader and backhoe, 4 cyl engine. Looks like the front differential has a drain plug on the bottom and 2 fill plugs, one on the top of each axle housing, left and right. Also...

Unfortunately Kubota is not currently manufacturing the ROPS/seat belt for my tractor right now, and the word I've gotten is that there is nothing on the schedule for right now. If anyone knows of a used ROPS/seat belt for my L345DT, that would be great! Thanks.

Hello, new to this forum. Just bought a 1984 L345DT TLB. Unfortunately, no ROPS/seat belt; really would like one. Anybody have one? I'm near Eugene, OR. Thanks.
