    Kioti RX7320 will crank but not start

    1) make certain all your PTOs are off. 2) when was the last time this thing regenerated? 3) I stand by my original post above but the OP has not responded. So why ask?

    Rear remote install DIY : anybody done it w/o removing the rear wheel ? NS6010

    Porsches, huh? We can channel our internal friendship lol. I'll PM you my number and I'll walk you through making your own thing. Trust me, it is child's play.

    Kioti RX7320 will crank but not start

    I have not read this thread, just your OP, but if your machine came to me, I'd think the ignition switch is likely effed or one of the lousy safety switch relays needed to run given that you said fuel is getting to the injector pump. It is something on the start circuit given that you said it...

    John Deere backhoe repair

    I wouldn't be worried about that. Among my background in all things mechanical in Army aviation (I was a 67Y30) we distinguished between a weep, a leak, and a drip. All three conditions where flyable but all three had Dash -- in the logbooks limiting the conditions. weeps and leaks normally got...

    Anyone had a lumbar fusion?

    Ouch. Right now I'm healing up from my fourth back surgery (eight weeks out, post-op). My first three surgeries were performed by John Stark who, among other things, invented a way to fuse the lumbar and now that John has retired, this last surgery was done using a modified version of the...

    Andrew Camarata

    They should have put the support bridging the side door, removed the garage door, and X-framed for more support, but other than that it looked totally reasonable to me. Given that the owner went to burnt wood siding, then they could have gone off the deep end support-wise on the original...

    Add this to the list of reasons I’m going to sell my Kioti

    Just about every car with molded headlights or taillights had this issue to some degree in the late 80s through the nineties. As you said, I got out a small drill bit and drilled two holes on the bottom of the lens to let water drain out and provide a "vent" so that water wouldn't accumulate for...

    Skid Steer Mount Locking levers stuck

    1) Hit the pins with PB Blaster and let them soak. 2) While trying to exercise the SSQA lever open, beat/pry/threaten (whatever will work) the stuck pin out from the bottom (may need a friend to help). 3) The pins are to be greased. If your set-up has the single lever SSQA that Kioti tends...

    Backhoe vs Tractor with backhoe

    If you need a backhoe then get a construction machine as backhoes on tractors are a bit of an afterthought and are not as durable as a dedicated backhoe.

    Water in tank/fuel filter of Kioti CK35.

    If you have no provision for draining the bottom of the tank, then you do it like we separate water out of boat fuel tanks: Pump all the fuel and water out into something you can remove the water from. My most lent out tool is a homemade, cheap Mitsubishi 12v fuel pump that goes to a household...

    RX6620 power shuttle won’t go in drive

    I don't use the parking break when actually parked on my NX series because the switch can stick either off or on.

    What lube in front axle?

    You can use either trans-hydro oil (like 20C which is the same stuff that companies like Polaris use—but they call it angle fluid and keep what it really is a big secret) or gear oil. Most people when doing their first 50-hour swap out whatever is in there for gear oil.
