Looks like a job for some flex seal! What a stupid place for a plug, holding back 10 gallons of tranny fluid.

Several years ago, the field service tech told me that RK was going to no longer carry the 74s. He said they were just too big to service at most all the stores. But your right they still list them dont they? Guess he was wrong. Matter of fact the store I bought my RK55 from in indiana, cant...

Update, so my leak has stopped. No parts replaced, or fluids drained. I only have 79hrs on my tractor now. In the long run, I feel the tranny was slightly over filled. Once the level came down, it no longer has a leak. I see the new versions of the 55 are right at $10k more than when I...

My tractor is a 55, but this FEL issue isnt new. There is a thread on here about this issue akready with a lot of no fix responses. When I talked with my local service guys, they basically knew nothing of this issue. They said they were going to help me fix the issue, but never actually did...

never heard of this so far.

Obviously that should not happen. My RK55, rubs on the FEL hoses if I turn tightly as well. I hate to say this, but these arent the best laid out units. I think think there were some short cuts in the design and layout of these tractors. Heck there are hoses run across my engine area, that are...

I didnt want to buy a trailer for mine either, as I will never normally use one. I called a wrecker service, and they brought out a flatbed and moved my tractor like nothing. It wasnt that expensive, but I dont live over a 100 miles from my store.

The fan on these units draw a ton of air thru the rads normally. I found when I mow the rad gets stuffed with bugs, debris very quickly. There is a condenser for my AC in front of the radiator ,and behind that is very hard to clean out properly. I end up using my gas blower and a garden hose...

My is slow as well. Had a bobcat tractor before this and it was worlds faster than this one on the hydraulics.

Good to know. What a PIA to have to drian all that tranny/hydro fluid out to fix this.

I was told by the RK guy in my area, they dropped the largest 74 tractor due to the fact they couldnt easily work on them. I know for a fact the store I bought my RK55 from, cant even fit it in the bay inside to work on it. They work on these larger units outside.

Wow, you didnt have to wait too long to get your new ride. I have had mine for several years, without too much drama. I have only around 70 hrs on mine.

Mine is exactly the same looking as yours. Mine tractor is working great, and never noticed the level in the bowl. But now that I have looked it is half full. While running I can see fuel flowing thru this.

I ordered a clearance light for my RK55 last year, in october from my local rural king where I bought my tractor. Still dont have it. Called and checked on its progress multiple times too, over the last 10 months. I hope your parts actually come in. I ended up going to my local TYM dealer...

FYI I had a cab curtesy light on order for 8 months thru RK. Never did get it either. Called up the local TYM dealer and had it in two days. Mind you this wasnt a warranty item, so I had to pay for it. The shipping was as much as the part!
