    DPF

    My neighbor spent $6500 on his Ford F250 diesel emissions. He then traded the truck in on a gas job because the dealer said that this issue was going to happen again with it.

    DPF

    Somehow Mahindra beat this on their mid-sized tractors when I bought my Kioti back in 2016. I looked at a 55hp Mahindra that didn’t have a DPF system on it like my 45hp Kioti did.

    O'Reilly Auto for hydraulic hoses

    Ouch, bend over and feel the pain. NAPA also makes hoses cheaper than O'Reilly. TSC uses China hose. I do not know how good it is.

    NX series three-point lift cylinder rebuild? Are the caps welded on?

    I had a no start issue with my NX4510HST a few years back. It was the wiring harness where it plugs onto the ignition switch. It had just rattled itself loose a bit. I pushed it back on and it has been fine ever since. Hopefully your problem is just as simple.

    Worst oil change ever

    My ex-neighbor who is a doctor lost his VW Jetta motor that same way after going to Jiffy Lube. It was first thing in the morning and he was running late for work. He never saw the oil light either. He did get a brand new motor out of the fiasco.

    Worst oil change ever

    Try using a McDonalds cup over the filter to catch the oil.

    Worst oil change ever

    That is not how you want to start the day off. I have had my oil drain pan do that once. Now my pan is a softer flexible plastic that doesn't crack. The clean up is the worst part of any spill.

    14.9-24 vs 17.5-24 tires

    The 14.9 uses a 13" wide rim. The 17.5 uses a 15" wide rim.

    Grease - is there no better way? Can we talk about this?

    Do not tightened the outer tube all the way in. Release the spring operated rod at the bottom. The air in the tube will purge out. Then tighten the outer casing. I have been doing this for over 50 years.

    Tractors are getting more costly every year

    You should look at the cost for parts. Back in 2001 a throttle potentiometer on a Kioti NX4510 dash throttle was $576.00. Now it is just over a grand. Front wheel hub bearings go for $80 - 90 each. You can buy the same model bearings from several brand name companies for 50% less. I just...

    DK40 front bearing failure @ 1300 hours

    Mine looked clean with a slight tint of silver on the top. That has been changed again.

    DK40 front bearing failure @ 1300 hours

    I'm thinking about doing the same. How was your oil when you changed it? I noticed a light silver color when pouring it out.

    DK40 front bearing failure @ 1300 hours

    My tractor wasn't out of commission. Immediately purchasing them wasn't necessary. My nearest dealer is an hour away. Your tractor and mine both use the same front end.

    DK40 front bearing failure @ 1300 hours

    I have had a slightly weeping left front wheel seal for about a year on my NX4510HST that has 1765 hours on it. When I say weeping, that is what I mean. That wheel had no bearing play in it at all. I ordered up all the parts and changed the left side only for now. The bearings had no play in...
