    Thank Goodness for my Loader - HEAVY LOAD

    See, I told the wife ("the boss") there were many reasons why we could not live without the Kioti. If it hadn't been for the loader there'd be no grillen this year. Just like we needed the dozer for clearing the snow off of the driveway (whole long story why the plow truck and the 12 hp...

    Radiator Hose Block Heater

    Hi, I'm looking to purchase a heater for my 2004 LK3054XS TLB. Prior post states 1.5 inch interior diameter hose size on the lower hose. Can someone confirm, none of my manuals states and it looks smaller to me. I'll put my caliper on the outside but not certain on wall thickness. Thanks, Joel

    B6000E Wiring Question

    neither my lights nor my horn work. Can anyone give me a starting point on diagnosing? I've got the wiring diagram. One thing I'd like to figure out is how to test the dynamo (generator), it's got three wires off of it and the manual does a crappy job of telling me what each should be doing...
