Ran over a piece of a round file and it managed to puncture my rear tire. It is about a 3/8" round hole. Can I just use a tire repair kit and repair it from the outside or do I need take the wheel off and haul it to a tire service? What are you guys doing in this situation? Gerald

Tractor has been flawless for 5 years (350 hours). It has always started immediately at first crank. But now it cranks/turns over but does not start (selector in N). I suspect the fuel shutoff solenoid is sticking or burned out - the silver cylinder in front of the injection pump. The three...

We got into haying a couple of years ago and bought an older Kuhn disc mower. I replaced all the blades, changed oil in the cutting bar and transmission and gave it a good cleaning. It is generally working well. Now that we finished baling the hay I see that the mower cuts unevenly especially...

After three hours of mowing in 90 deg weather, I pulled the mower PTO shaft off the tractor and was surprised how hot the shaft was. I used one of the infrared thermometers and found the PTO shaft stub to be 172 deg F with the fluid probably 5-10 deg hotter. I figure anything below 200 deg...

I'm new to haying. I have some very basic question. I purchased a used Kuhn GMD55 disc mower and used it the first time the other week cutting about 10 tons of hay. The mower worked although I probably had it set too high not knowing what I would find in the field. When mowing, the plastic...

My right knotter stopped working. The knot would stay on the bill hook. I cleaned it up and rotated the right knotter assembly and could see that the wiper blade was snapped off at the mounting holes. Looks like a fatigue failure. The 24T parts manual does not show a separate part number for...

I used our new 6 foot Woods flail mower for the first time and noticed a very pronounced shimmy right from the start. It is a new unit. I expected operation to be smoother. Unfortunately, the dealer is 70 miles away. I was planning to mount it back on the tractor, lift it and check blades for...

The owners manual shows it both ways. On the back of the cover it says only to change filters at 50 hours. In the detailed service section it shows changing the fluid as well. Sorry if this has been covered before Gerald

I was going to lube the loader on our new DK45. The grease coupler would push on fine but I had a difficult time removing the coupler. In fact, I broke one of the brass grease nipples closer to the bucket. The top of the fitting pulled right off - I had to apply quite a bit of force to get if...

Newbie question. I'm looking a purchasing a used Kuhn 55 mower. It has a single hydraulic cylinder to lift the mower bar. How do I connect the single hydraulic hose to the rear remote A & B ports? Will the remote control work with just port A connected? Thanks, Gerald

Hi Everyone! Great forum! Based on many of the comments here I bought a DK45SE HST last Saturday. Will be delivered tomorrow. Did not want to experiment with full Tier4 and really liked the ergonomics (i'm 6' 4") and the 3 point hitch features on the tractor. I have a question: The KL401...
