Well, It is time to get the snowblower off my CK2510 and stow it away. I want to place a couple 5/16" weldable grab hooks. The blower is a Kioti front unit model KS54-180FM . It bears thie Kioti brand. I need to locate a good place for both stability and hopefully balance so I don't damage...
Most of my occasions when I move my CK2510 from point A to point B are done at a slow speed. Occasionally I might get on the open road and run over to a neighibors for a simple task. For this instance I run in high Hydro scooting down the road at a fairly good clip. My CK2510 replaced a...
I bought my CK2510 about a year ago and the tractor has about 140 hours. I attempted to start the unit which is kept in a garage that is kept at 40*.. It was a nice day today and the outside thermometers were about 40* . The tractor had not been started for at least two weeks and the engine...
I have a pto shaft quick connect which consists of a yoke with a release button. When working on the snowblower it is very difficult to re-attach the quick connect to the pto drive spline yoke. The yoke goes on the pto drive spline ok it's the relese lock (push button lock) that is giving me...
How can I release the connected hydraulic lines once the system is charged. I cant pop the fitting to release pressure because the two are currently connected. It's a long story how I managed to get into this fix but I was attempting to check on the hydraulic system pressure and had a guage...
I ordered a nice model LT 10 log mill today from Log Mizer. This is just a hobby saw powered by a 10 h.p Briggs & Strattion engine. For $320 in savings i could have obtained a mill with a Kohler 7 1/2 h.p. which is now made in China. I'm thinking the B&S engine is still made in Wisconsin. I...
After 1002 faithful hours of service it was time to roll up my sleeves and go to work. Bob from Michigan Iron said don't skimp on hydraulic fluid so I used a good one. Side note, never attempt to drain hydraulic fluid without a great big drain pan. No problems there and I have religiously...
I'M looking for a used box blade or perhaps a back blade for the CK-20. I suppose a 6 footer would be too big. Any thoughts out there about this

I'm starting a small 28' X28' pole barn. I live in Northern Michigan's snow country where live load requirements for truss'se happen to be 70 lbs loads. It blows my mind that engineered plans for pole barns call for simply nailing the doubled 2 X 12" truss carrier to my 6 x 6" Posts. I have...
OK, I just completed my 600 mile maintenance for my CK-20 HST (s) tractor. That means I have cranked on a new hydraulic filter for the fourth time since I have owned this great little tractor. For the fourth time also I get this small but annoying leak at the filter gasket. The book claims...
I noticed one of my backhoe outrigger arm pins is missing a complete grease zerk. Looking at the damage makes the events leading up to this episode obvious. It appears as though the right sized small stone became trapped as backhoe outrigger arm was lifted up and the stone very likely became...
I have a Kioti CK 20 (s) with a backhoe and I have a nice little chunk of wooded property. I need some storage and have decided to make a road back into the woods and clear out a spot for a small tractor cave, I have built plenty of structures with concrete foundations so this time I will do...
I'm thinking about doing a pole building this spring. I have some trees to get cut down an tops burned. With the snow still on ground now is a great time for that stuff. I'll dig stumps out when frost is out of the ground.
I'll settle on a size later but let's fiigure something like 28' X...
I have a car trailer that has two 3500 # axles on it with a 5 on 4 1/2 bolt pattern (5 bolt, bolts on 4 1/2" diameter circle) tires are 205 r70 X15 if memory serves me. I would like to find spare wheel at the junk yard and stick an old 15" tire for a spare to limp in on should I ever have a...
