Sorry a little late to the party on this one. Here's the top link I purchased and hose kit based on someone else's thread here. Works perfectly and is plug & play. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005EMH0HA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1...

Hi Don - yep we are fortunate with some pretty hills & pastures in this area. Won't stay that way forever unfortunately as Wesley Chapel keeps getting closer & closer.

I just performed an oil change and removed the backhoe subframe to avoid a mess. Out of curiosity, when reinstalling the plate, I switched it 180 degrees to see where the holes would now fall relative to the drain plug. Low and behold, one of them lines up. It's not perfectly concentric, but...

About to perform my 300 hour service and figured I'd post updated PNs and pricing for RK55H filters. If you see a slash, the PN preceding the slash has been superseded by the PN following the slash. RK PNs are in parenthesis. I was able to find all filters on the shelf. Oil Filter...

Five hours shy of 300. Issues below: 1. Leaking steering cylinder - replaced under warranty - no leaks since. 2. Leaking 4x4 shaft seal - replaced myself - no leaks since. 3. Leaking 4x4 actuator o-ring - replaced myself - no leaks since. 4. Leaking union/o-ring (if there is one?) on rear...

Melancholy, I have the factory repair manual and will see what it says tonight regarding the A/C system. As far as repair manuals go it’s pretty crappy, but it may have some useful info for you.

The glow plug light on the RK55 only illuminates during the initial key turn to the “ON” position. The light illuminates for approx 3-4 seconds and then blinks out. You can hear the glow plugs operating even after the light goes out, so I’m not sure it’s even tied to their operation, like some...

Thx for the replies Rob & Peter. I do have a power junction box for my well about 10 feet from the post but I'll likely try connecting Dishy's cable to my existing cable first to see if it works. I don't like the idea of the power brick sitting outside in the Florida heat/humidity. I also have...

Apologies if this has been discussed before. I'm currently on the preorder list for Starlink, and for my existing setup, I have about 120 feet of buried cat5e cable running from my network closet inside the house to a pole outside where my current internet provider's dish is located. I intend to...

Be prepared to do some torquing on that jam nut. Mine was on there with a crazy amount of force.

I just noticed this today and my eyes bulged when I saw the current price of the RK55HC ($36,599) that I paid $29,999 for in December of 2018. They had a $2k price increase in January of 2019 which is why I purchased when I did. Does this mean my tractor is now worth more than I bought it for? Ha.

I have the RK55. If you check my past threads you should find one where I experienced the same issue as you. If the 37 is setup similar to the 55, you may only be able to actuate that nut with a crowfoot wrench adapter and long extension. That’s the only thing that worked for me. I included pics...

Yeah it's not the greatest design. Aside from having to remove the side hood panel which can be a knuckle buster, I end up having to bend the screen a tiny bit if my front right wheel isn't positioned just right because the screen hits the raised part of the R4 wheel tread on its way out. As a...

I’ve driven twice to and from my dealer who is 11 miles away. Heavy traffic during daylight hours. I drive their beforehand in my vehicle and leave it there overnight (someone else takes me home of course), then I leave in the tractor around 4-5 am on a Sunday morning. No one on the roads at...

I would say so. There was a decent amount of paint or some other hardened gunk around the mating surface bore, so that could have been the reason for premature failure. Who knows. Hopefully this one lasts longer. Put about 6 hrs on it thus far with no more leaks so fingers crossed.
