Engine Model:
Kubota D1803 (typical for this series, but verify specific sub-model)
Engine Type:
Diesel, 3-cylinder, liquid-cooled
Displacement:
1.825 Liters (1825 cc) or 111.4 cubic inches (typical for D1803)
Horsepower Rated:
Approximately 35-40 PTO HP / 30-35 Drawbar HP (actual figures may vary slightly based on configuration and rating method)
Torque Peak:
Refer to specific engine data, typically in the mid-range RPM.
Injection System:
Indirect Injection (IDI) or Direct Injection (DI), depending on exact engine variant.
Fuel Filter:
Specific Kubota part number required, consult parts manual.
Oil Type:
API CG-4 or CH-4, SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 (verify with operator's manual or parts manual for specific climate recommendations).
Oil Capacity:
Approximately 5.0-5.5 Liters (with filter change) - verify in manual.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze with corrosion inhibitors. 50/50 mix with distilled water recommended.
Coolant Capacity:
Approximately 7.0-7.5 Liters - verify in manual.
Transmission Type:
Hydrostatic Transmission (HST) with 2 or 3 speed ranges (High/Low, or Low/Medium/High) for the L245DT. Some variants may have a gear drive transmission.
Optional Transmission:
Gear Drive (less common for 'DT' models, which often emphasize HST).
Drive Modes:
Forward and Reverse pedal control for HST models.
Pto Type:
Rear PTO, typically 540 RPM standard, possibly with an economy PTO option. Mid-PTO may be available on some configurations.
Transmission Hydraulic Fluid:
Kubota UDT Fluid or equivalent (check manual for precise specification, e.g., ISO VG 46 hydraulic oil can be used as a substitute in some cases if UDT is unavailable, but verify).
Transmission Hydraulic Fluid Capacity:
Approximately 20-25 Liters - verify in manual.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 100 or 250 operating hours, or annually, whichever comes first. Verify with manual.
Engine Oil Filter Change:
With every engine oil change.
Fuel Filter Change:
Every 250 or 500 operating hours, or as needed. Manual will detail bleeding procedure.
Air Filter Service:
Check and clean elements every 50-100 hours, replace as needed.
Transmission Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Typically every 400-600 operating hours. Include filter replacement.
Greasing:
Daily or weekly at specified grease points (PTO shaft, linkages, wheel bearings, etc.).
Engine Oil Specification:
API CG-4/CH-4, SAE 10W-30/10W-40 (refer to manual for climate specifics).
Hydraulic Fluid Specification:
Kubota UDT Fluid or equivalent (e.g., ISO VG 46).
Transmission Fluid Specification:
Kubota UDT Fluid or equivalent.
Coolant Specification:
50/50 Ethylene Glycol and Distilled Water mixture.
Common Wear Items:
Clutch wear (especially if frequently used with a loader), hydraulic filter clogging, aging seals leading to minor leaks, PTO engagement issues if not properly maintained.
Electrical Connections:
Corrosion on electrical terminals and connectors can lead to intermittent issues in older units.
Importance:
Regular adherence to scheduled maintenance is crucial for longevity and preventing costly breakdowns.
