Jump your battery. When the tractor starts, check voltage at battery, should be 14+/_VDC. Replace battery with new one. My tractor did the exact same thing, including the strange buzzing. Relays and transistors get weird with low voltages. Patrick

Thanks everyone! I drained the tank and charged it with the valve in the tee. Pressure spread was off, so I adjusted and now it's 40/60psi with much slower cycle times. Too many projects to take on water system improvements now, but I see cycle stop and storage tank(s) in the future. Patrick

OK, I drained the tank last week by opening hose bib at the house hoping it would 'recharge' it's self. I'll just drain and give it a charge at the Tee. Hoping the rusty area doesn't let go while air charging...... Patrick

Sorry, maybe the question was buried in the details. I understand what needs to be done, the question was how. Do I use the Schrader valve in the Tee? There is no other place to air up the tank. Thanks again. Patrick

Bought an old house a few years back and the well has been cycling shorter and shorter as time goes by. There is no Schrader valve at the top of the tank, just a welded on stub. There is a Schrader valve located in the Tee where the tank is plumbed in parallel to the house supply. I assumed...

Sounds like a bad diode in the voltage regulator. I'd be worried that the light is flashing. That usually means an over voltage, were as the steady light usually means low voltage. An alternator produces AC that is rectified through diodes, and will produce full power at idle rpm, there should...

We dealt with that situation by either asking the former employer, or giving an answer to a prospective employer of "Would you rehire this employee again" (knowing what you know now)? Patrick

I hardly equate the fact that I live almost 3 hours from the closest dealer to my smoking weed. Sorry that you took that personally, that wasn't my intention. It was meant to be a response from a business owner trying to explain why sometimes, chasing that certain customer just isn't worth the...

I've had 2 Kiotis, LK3054 and now a CK2610H. Both appear to have been mostly reversed engineered from a Kubota tractor of similar size. I even repaired my LK3054 steering shaft leak using entirely Kubota parts. So, 5030 has a valid point and in this case is offering good info. Patrick

As a former small business owner, Auto Service Shop, I believe Messicks is on the right track. They will offer to charge you a price that buying from them is only done when YOU are smoking Weed. I think it's the 20/80 rule. 20% of your customers account for 80% of your revenue. The other 80%...

Now you know how us Californians felt 50 years ago. Patrick

I have a large collection of Milwaukee 18V power tools, so I bought the 18V top handle electric chainsaw. It's heavy, but the problem is it's all weight way rearward, so you would need a wrist like Popeye to push the cut through a branch. It cuts really good and the batteries last a long time...

So I ordered a new cruise control kit from Michigan Iron. Disconnect old harness and installed new harness. I left all other components as they were. Cruise operates as it should. I bought the original kit in August of 2023 and just finally got around to installing. :rolleyes: Hey, I've been...

I would check front axle pivot, steering rack, axle/hub joints, steering links, wheel lugs, and loader arm pins. Might just need grease, you hope anyhow. Patrick

Power comes in from the upper left from the brake lamp fuse circuit. Orange wire leads to the Brake Cruise Relay and is energized when brake switch closes. That also puts power to the brake light relay and goes to ground closing the contacts to the brake lights. Yellow/Green wire travels to...
