    DK55 instrument pod light bulbs

    I have a number of failed light bulbs in the instrument cluster on my DK55. The Kioti part numbers are T4684-69021004 and T4684-69021005. I would hope these are not proprietary to Kioti. Has anyone found the generic equivalents?

    1983 Ford 335 4WD industrial

    Moving it depends on the van and trailer. I moved a 1975 Ford 4600 with aftermarket loader on a 7000# GVW trailer behind a 6 cylinder Silverado. The trailer did not have brakes. I took back roads and kept it to 45 MPH. That was a long 100 miles. I also moved my current New Holland 4630...

    1983 Ford 335 4WD industrial

    Looking at the New Holland Part site, the 335 was made for a year in 1983 to Feb, 1984. It was called a highway tractor. It shares the same engine as the 3610 and 3910. The 530 shared the 4610 and the 230 shared the 2610/2910 engine. If you are looking the the weight, the two wheel drive was...

    3-Point Hitch NX5010 top link

    I find it strange you buy a very expensive tractor then only plan on using a flail mower. But then you will find a need for a back blade, maybe a rototiller and so on. Hydraulic top links will come in handy because you can use it to lift the back of the implement higher to clear obstructions.

    Bending my box blade hitch, please help!

    Box blades are designed to be used in both directions. On some, the rear facing blade is a steel bar that is hinged so it swings up when moving forward and when pushing backwards, it is used for smoothing. On other box blades, the rear blade maybe a replaceable fixed cutting edge just like the...

    5ft brush hog on a 25hp compact

    Lets be fair on your comparison. The Ford 8Ns were rated at 27 HP at the PTO. Newer tractors are rated at the engine. the t25 has 18hp at the PTO. So your tractor has 2/3 of the HP of the Ford 8N. Hydrostatic transmissions rob more power than a gear transmission. 5 foot brush hogs really...

    Rotary Cutter 60" or 72" for 27 PTO HP?

    So many people on these sites like to make recommendations either countering or second guessing the manufacturers. There is a reason certain implements are rated for certain tractors. Why not just stick with the design parameters? In the case of the rotary mower question, if someone on this...

    Glow Plug Light Not Shutting Off

    Your explanation is hard to interpret. Just a note. The glow plugs are used to start a cold engine. There is a temperature sensor so if the engine is warm and you try to start it, the glow plugs will not work.

    Another rant about buying used

    So you bought the tractor, hauled it home then checked the fluids?

    FE Loader Behavior???

    You have to think about the volume of the hydraulic cylinder. Extending a hydraulic cylinder requires more hydraulic fluid than retracting. So if a hydraulic cylinder slowly retracts, the primary cause can't be a leak in the packing. The hydraulic fluid is leaving the circuit. The likely...
