Hahaha, far from.  I'll get a picture posted for comparison.   Since I e bought the tractor I've known the turbocharger on it didn't belong to this model.  In researching, I have the hypothesis that either the motor was changed out for the 9345 (245.) or the cab and body from a 8345 was put on a 9345.   Research indicates other than the motor there is no difference in models.  (From what I can find).   


Any insight or suggestions for verification is appreciated.

Yeah sure post some pics.  Yes all they did on those models is add more hp with a turbo  and the injection pump is probably adjusted according too but otherwise its all the same.

Welcome to the board. If you will need parts, this model is still fully supported, so we'll be able to help you with factory original parts.

Hi all. Not sure if this site is still active as the posts seem older.   I bought a Belarus 8345 last year for some general landscaping projects on properties I have, plus I love tractors.   I have an older small kabota 7100 with bucket and hoe(14 hp diesel).   I have a John Deere 650 compact tractor I use for mowing (diesel).  I recently bought a smaller JD 420 garden tractor (gas).   And in storage (waiting for all my free time to restore her) I have a 1950s FMC g14 mower (tubular frame).   Wow, I just realized I have too many. 


Anyhow, the Belarus is great, but appears to have been neglected of maintenance.   Still starts right up, sounds good, but seems to have blowby.   Cosmetically abused too.  The inside cab is a mess and the controls have been broke, stretched, and disconnected.  Suprisingly given all that she still does the job!   


My goal is to fix her up to at least "good" as time and weather permits (did I mention I live in Vermont).  Hoping to find a forum to bounce issues I run into along the way.
