    Mt4 Wet or Dry Clutch

    Thank you so much for this.

    Mt4 Wet or Dry Clutch

    I was thinking the power shuttle was maybe just doing the clutching for you on a dry clutch.

    Mt4 Wet or Dry Clutch

    Thank you! I figured the power shuttle versions were wet, but didn't want to assume. How do you know the power shuttles are wet? Just knowledge of how they work?

    Mt4 Wet or Dry Clutch

    Does anyone know if the clutch is wet or dry in the transmission for the Mt468? Does it depend if it's the syncro shuttle or power shuttle? I find it amazing how hard this information is to find.

    Grease Couplers for FEL

    Are any of the fittings in that kit narrower than the regular locknlube and able to lock onto a zerk?

    Grease Couplers for FEL

    Try stuffing paper towels or cotton balls or something into a deep socket to keep the nut/zerk at the tip of the socket. Can also coat the zirk with grease to keep it from falling out of the socket. Basically need to rig up a 10mm sparkplug socket...

    Grease Couplers for FEL

    The zerks on my MT345he FEL are recessed. I've tried using multiple brands of the lock n lube style couplers, but they're barely too fat to fit in the hole. I filed one down, and it barely fits, but if there's any left over grease in the recess, it won't go in far enough. Has anyone else had...

    Hydraulic Pump Upgrade (Deplorable Diesel)

    The pressure relief valve on the mt3 is probably set at around 2480 psi, just like my mt3e. Pressure capability of the pump would probably be around 3000 psi. It's possible the stated 8.2gpm is at a different psi for the mt2 vs mt3, but I don't know. The diverter valve for the FEL 3rd function...

    Hydraulic Pump Upgrade (Deplorable Diesel)

    I wouldn't think there's much of an extra hp demand with a larger pump until it experiences high pressure. Unless a function is used, fluid is being pumped through the system with only friction losses from the hoses. There would be a higher load when a function isn't being used, but I wouldn't...

    MT342H vs MT345HE

    Did some calculations for boom lift and curl on the mt3 vs mt3e based on the piston diameters used on the loaders for these tractors. The mt3e bucket curl cylinders put out a combined 11,995 lbs vs 17,475 lbs on the mt3. That's 31% less than the mt3. The mt3e boom lift cylinders put out a...

    Hydraulic Pump Upgrade (Deplorable Diesel)

    The smallest NH with a pump larger than 8.2 gpm is the workmaster 50. That model has a 12 gpm pump. It's a 9 spline shaft though, and it looks like the implement and steering pumps are a single assembly.

    Hydraulic Pump Upgrade (Deplorable Diesel)

    That's a good idea. I didn't realize you can use compression fittings on those steel lines. This sounds pretty easy. I'm going to have to do this if I can get ahold of a pump. Wish I didn't have to go through a dealer for parts though... My closest dealer is 2 hrs away. It's really a...

    Hydraulic Pump Upgrade (Deplorable Diesel)

    That's good to know. Thank you for the help. Do you know if the MT4 pump has female threads as well as threaded bolt holes, or just bolt holes? Or are you thinking you could adapt the threaded male fitting on the MT3 tractors to the banjo style on the MT4 pump?

    Hydraulic Pump Upgrade (Deplorable Diesel)

    It's been said on here, I think by pcabe5, that the valves are rated for 12gpm. I bet heat wouldn't be an issue. He also said on here somewhere that fluid temps were unchanged after he installed the higher flow pump.

    Hydraulic Pump Upgrade (Deplorable Diesel)

    Looking at the parts list on the LS site, it looks like the high side connection on the mt4 series pump is a banjo style connection and the mt3 series has a threaded connection. Suction side looks the same though, but it probably wouldn't work.

    Hydraulic Pump Upgrade (Deplorable Diesel)

    That "custom manufactured exclusively for us" is what tipped me off. I know I won't pay Deplorable's price. It's not even a nice pump. I'd buy it in an off count spline and machine it to what I need before I paid that price. It's less likely to be something odd and specific for their use and...

    Hydraulic Pump Upgrade (Deplorable Diesel)

    I'm not sure it's 12. I'm asking at this point. The best I have to go off so far is the pic of the pump on deplorable's website. It's looks like 12 spline to me. I agree it looks like an sae A or sae B pump. Rotation would probably have to be determined by removing the pump and turning the...

    Hydraulic Pump Upgrade (Deplorable Diesel)

    I plan to upgrade the pump on my MT345he. The pump from deplorable is just way too expensive though. Seems like we should be able to find an off the shelf pump for this. The mount for the pump is a standard size, but I'm not sure the spline count is standard. I think I count 12 splines on...

    MT342H vs MT345HE

    The xr4140 has an ll4104 loader, which is about equivalent to the ll4106 loader. They both have around 600lbs more lifting capacity than the ll4105. They both have larger cylinders than the ll4105. I think the real world difference in lifting capacity between the 4105 and the 4104/4106 is...

    MT342H vs MT345HE

    Mine has the 4105. I'm guessing the 4106 is more appropriate for this tractor. I have to be very careful how I go into a pile because it can't overcome much more than the weight of a full bucket. I will definitely be checking to make sure it bleads off at the right pressure. It just seems way...

    MT342H vs MT345HE

    Pushed out a couple hundred yards of fill out into a pad with it today. The tractor is awesome. The FEL is not awesome. In fact, I'd say it sucks. It's fairly underpowered for the size of the tractor and the size of the bucket. It does the dangle thing, which I could live with if it were...

    MT342H vs MT345HE

    My 345HE was delivered today. The tractor is the same. Just the addons are different as well as some different body panels. Got a 7' woods box, forks, and a 6' snow blade with it. I had to reduce the cost, so a cab was out. Same reason I got the E version. I know what I'm getting into...

    MT342H vs MT345HE

    It's correct. Practically speaking, aside from HP, I would say your tractor is the same size as both of them. The 342h has the exact same dimensions and tires as yours, and is 65 lbs heavier with a 2,680lb FEL. The 345he is a foot wider, 8 inches shorter, and 120lbs lighter than yours with...

    MT345HE vs MT 342H

    I'm about to make a purchase on an LS. My requirements are that it have some weight to it, above 3500 lbs, and have an FEL capacity above 2k lbs. I'll be doing mostly bucket work, grading with a box, and plowing snow. I've run smaller tractors quite a bit for these tasks, and I always wish I was...
