Kubota L245, L245DT Common Problems This Manual Covers
No-start after fuel filter change
The L245DT commonly will not start after a fuel filter service because air is trapped in the fuel lines and the system was not primed. The Maintenance and Checks section covers the fuel system service and engine trouble diagnosis.
Manual Section: Maintenance and Checks p. 23Weak or inconsistent hydraulics
A three-point hitch that lifts poorly usually starts with a low fluid level or a clogged hydraulic filter or suction screen. The Hydraulic System section explains position control and hydraulic lever operation to help isolate the fault.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System p. 19Overheating from a dirty radiator
Reduced cooling and rising temperatures come from a dirty radiator screen or core, low coolant, or restricted airflow. The Maintenance and Checks section covers radiator care and the cooling checks that prevent it.
Manual Section: Maintenance and Checks p. 23Loose wheel nuts after a tread change
After adjusting the wheel tread, the rear wheel nuts must be brought back to the correct torque or they will loosen in service. The Change of Wheel Treads section covers changing the front and rear tread and the torque to reset.
Manual Section: Change of Wheel Treads p. 33Problems from missed service intervals
Skipping scheduled checks lets fuel, air cleaner, and hydraulic screen service slip and small faults grow. The Maintenance Check List section lays out the daily, 50-hour, 75-hour, and 100-hour checks to follow.
Manual Section: Maintenance Check List p. 36Frequently Asked Questions
