I removed a rear hydraulic control unit from my kubota L345 and put a hose connecting the two ports where the unit was connected to the hydraulic pump on the tractor. This worked fine for a while, but now I am constantly having to disconnect one end of the hose to bleed out air. Is it possible...

I am considering purchasing a Kubota RTV 500 over a Polaris Ranger 570. Any advice?

I was bush-hogging and hit a stump. Instead of the shear pin on the mower breaking, something stopped the pto shaft from turning. I can turn it by hand and feel no kind of resistance. Initially, the pto shift lever would move into low or high without engaging, but then would move only into high...

Thanks! I have attached the full diagram, if that will help.

A few weeks ago I described a problem I had with rats destroying my wiring and instrument light sockets on my L345. Since I bought this tractor used I didn't know until I began the rewiring that apparently I wasn't the first to have this problem with this tractor. Consequently some of the wiring...

Over the winter my kubota L345's wiring was attacked by rats. Naturally, the wiring harness I need that includes the instrument panel guages and lights is no longer available. I have contacted salvage yards all over the U.S. and have been unable to locate any harnesses, bulb sockets or bulbs. I...

These pictures show a plug that blew out of the block from just behind the hydraulic filter on my Kubota L345. Oil spewed from the hole. I had noticed the plug partly protruding the day before and tamped it back in flush. I used the tractor for about 4 hours afterwards. Is this a pressure relief...

This is from L345 Manual. Hope you can read it.

My PTO will shift OK without mower attached, but will just grind gears with mower attached. Can this be corrected by adjustment of the clutch and, if so, any advice for quick and easy adjustment.

Thanks to some great help on a prior problem I am hoping for more. The control lever on my L345 works fine as long as I hold it in an up position, but when I release it the lever falls on its own and the arms go down. It lifts with very little pull but the arms remain up as long as I hold the...

I recently purchased a 1984 Kubota L345. It came with a rear remote operated through a single spool Energy valve. Something worn in the valve seems to be affecting the raising of the 3 Pt Hitch arms. I don't have any use for the rear remote and would like to remove the valve. Can I just remove...

Is there any way to flush or remove crud from fuel tank without completely removing the tank?
