It doesn't move. posted by Pat on June 16, 2002 at 10:02:38: It could be that coupling, it could be the clutch plate center, it could be differential pinions, it could be a planetary reduction, it could be an axle shaft, it could be the transmission locked in two gears from a worn shift lever. You can't order all those parts in advance, you have to start digging in to find out what is wrong. On my 135 which I think is quite similar to the 245, the access covers for the back of the drive train are on the sides. One holds the PTO shift lever on the left, the plate on the right holds the 3 point speed control and the transmission oil level dip stick. The oil level is above their bottoms so you need to drain several gallons of oil out before taking them off, or they will drain when you take those covers off. I tilt the tractor with one rear wheel on a 6x8 wood block to keep the oil in without draining, but if it won't run you can't do that handily. Gerald J.
