Anyone got the shop manual for the CK2610? Seems the links here are all missing or password protected now.

After some more researching this, it looks as though the setup on the 618 uses either the port plate for a remote filter on the #2 hydro, and/or the charge pump located on the #1 hydro to provide some kind of circulation through the single filter to the reservoir and back. Since the port plate...

I just purchased a Grasshopper 614 that has the separate little oil reservoirs and filter gaskets on each hydro unit. Seems the filter gaskets are basically obsolete as a Grasshopper part, although Messicks and a few other online sources list them for sale, although who knows if they are...

My 2610's 3pt hitch would leak down pretty fast. After running the tractor for a while and getting the hyd oil hot, with a heavy implement on the 3pt hitch you could sit and watch it pulse up and down as it would drop down and the position control would return it to where it was supposed to be...

My 3pt hitch is leaking down pretty rapidly with weight on it. I noticed this after using my land leveler and leaving the 3pt raised (completely or partially) with the engine running at idle, I could watch it drop slightly and hear the RPM drop and the pump kick in about every second or so to...

Just wanted to confirm my understanding of the service intervals for my 2610 - initial 50 hour service has been done with ALL fluids and filters changed. Just rolled over 200 hours on the meter. According to my understanding of the manual my next engine oil/filter change is due at 300 hours...

Managed to lose my dipstick for my transmission on my 2610. Got a plug on it for now, but need to find a replacement dipstick. Seems hard to find, especially since my local dealer decided to shut down out of nowhere 2 months ago, taking my $150 store credit with them apparently. I can find...

When I look up my serial on Deere parts catalog I get two different options for carbs. According to the site one is marked 32297, the other marked 32388. Can't find this number anywhere on the carb, only the Mikuni Corp logo just above the bowl. Any ideas where to look? Trying to find a carb...

Setting up a hydraulic top link, I bought a cylinder, some 3/8 hydraulic hoses and what I thought were the correct fittings from Agri Supply but they're too small. Any idea on if any of the fittings from the following page will work? Hydraulic Cylinders, Cylinder Repair Kit, Hydraulics Parts...

I bought a GT275 off Craigslist. Runs great, paid $1300 for it including the power flow bagger. Cracked hood of course, a standard JD feature. Love the single cylinder Kawasakis, they've always treated me well and have a ton of torque. Dunno how great of a deal I got, but there wasn't much...

Title says it all, is the fluid level in the front axle on the CK10 series supposed to be checked with the dipstick screwed in or not?

Well I got impatient and took off the tire and fender and had a look for myself at what I believe is actually going on. Looks like the flow is: Hydraulic pump -> Loader control valve -> Remote valve body -> Three point hitch valve The remote valve body has a formed rubber hose that connects...

Trying to install the WR Long 3rd function kit on my CK2610. The instructions with the kit talk about removing a steel line that runs from the loader valve to under the seat, but don't provide any pictures or descriptions. I don't see any steel line running from the loader valve to under my...

I know the WR Long kit isn't designed for continuous use, just intermittent use such as opening/closing a grapple. I was considering getting a small skid steer auger for my Kioti and would prefer not to have to run a separate set of lines straight to the remotes in the back every time I hooked...

Trying to decide on which grapple to get for my CK2610. With the 4030 loader I'm not too concerned about weight. Both of these grapples look very similar including the price. The Wicked seems to offer the advantage of having a few more tines, but is made with 3/8ths steel vs the Xtreme which...
