I just repaired a leak on my hydraulic return line and then got a new leak on top of my bucket controls valve. I think this is on the safety relief. (See pic and please confirm for me) Can anyone tell me where to get a replacement for the part in the pic? Also, I assume it's quite dangerous...

The 3 point lever on my LK3054 os getting harder and harder to move. I just about have to stand up from my seat to get enough behind it to move it from the top position (9) to my mowing position (4). Is there a grease point I am missing here? Or is there an adjustment that can be made? This...

I was doing some brush hogging today. All of a sudden I got a bad vibration from the back end. I turned around to see my PTO shaft twisted and about to come apart. I didn't think I was working in very heavy stuff. I don't think the slip clutch is working too good.... Time to go shopping ...

I let a buddy borrow my Lk 3054 to do some brush hogging and when he brought it back, it had developed a problem. When I engage the PTO with the lever, It automatically starts spinning even with the cluch completly compressed. I hope there is a way to adjust the clutch linkage so that it works...

This will be the first winter we get a simi-hard freeze since I've lived with a water well. Projected temps will be low 20's Friday and Saturday and may not get above freezing for some time. Right now, my well tank sits exposed with only some brushy trees protecteding it from the North winds...

Anyone know where I can find replacement grip handles for my 3054?? The handles I'm talking about are the black, plastic ones on each fender... used to help climb on and off tractor. Thanks! JB

I'm looking at a couple of used 72" RFM for sale in my area and have a couple of questions.. What do I need to check on the mowers to determine how good of shape the mechanics are in?? There are two I am looking at. One is a 5 year old Landpride. I don't know the make of the other one...

Can anyone describe what it sounds like when the hydraulic relief valve lifts/opens? I'm still really new at this and don't know if what to listen for. Thanks! Jimmy

This one really hits close to me... too close. I take my daughter to school every morning before I go to work like many dads out there do. After dropping her off, I allways take the "short-cut" back behind the school and football field to get back out the the main road. I go this particular...

I was going to change the hydraulic fluid and filter out on my LK3054 this weekend and quickly realized I didn't have a socket big enought to remove the drain plug. Does anyone know what size socket fits the plugs? It's diffinately bigger than 1"... the largest I have right now. Thanks! jb

I've had my tractor a little over a year and the more I look at it the more things I find that the previous owner jacked up! When I bought it, the guy told me "I don't think the alternator is working right.... the light stays on on the dash and I sometimes have to charge the battery if it's...

I spent a few hours on my LK3054 this weekend digging / pulling stumps and brush-hogging. When it was time to put everything up I noticed that fuel was leaking out around the fuel filter bowl. at leaste that is where I think it is comming from. I had a new fuel filter on hand so I decided to...

I've heard it pronounced "KEY-o-tee" and "KI-o-tee" <like the animal>.... which one is correct? :p

My tractor came without the top section of the ROPS. I have my local dealer trying to see if we can get a replacement from Kioti, but so far isn't getting much feedback from them. I was wondering if I could just buy the steel myself and either heat it up and bend it to shape myself or have a...
