I've got a KL5521 loader for my 4710SE and I'm trying to build a bracket for some front aux hydro hoses. I think the nuts are M10, but they have some paint in them from the MFG process. I tried to put an M10 bolt in, but met some resistance so I stopped. Don't know if I've got the wrong...

Finally got around to finishing up my diverter installation. I ended up going the diverter route (summit) instead of the a true third function. I bought the diverter and quick attach from Summit. I bought the adapters/connectors from my local parker store. I bought the push button switch...

Has anybody here installed a diverter on their Kioti for a 3rd function? I was planning on just running hoses from the rear remotes, but the more I looked at this I think the diverter is the best option for me. If I understand this correctly, I can run a set of the FEL hoses into the diverter...

I can tell you my experience. I had a trouble free 2009 Kubota B3030 (open station) that I bought used in 2012 with ~120hrs. I sold it in December 2018 and purchased a Kioti DK4710SE cab. Main reason for sale is that I needed something that was heavier and could lift more with the FEL. I...

Has anybody put 3rd function hyrdo on a DK47xxSE FEL? I have got the cab version and I'm working on fabing up my plow for the QA front. Right now I'm thinking about going the cheap route and running lines from the rear hydro under the tractor and up the FEL. I don't have a grapple, but maybe...

I still like it. :) I think there are some things that I'm still getting used to, but I don't know if that's Kioti vs. Kubota or just smaller tractor vs. bigger tractor. 1. The Kubota weighed 60% less, but had only 30% less HP. I could have the kubota in any gear (hydro) and go forward or...

I pulled the trigger and brought home a new DK4710SE cab this weekend.

I was quoted a cash price of $27,250. Anybody else get a quote on this model lately?

I finally got my LA403 ordered and delivered. I put it on myself over a weekend. The manual says 1.5hrs.....but it was more like 1.5 days for me. :) The only gotcha I ran into was the mower mounts. My B3030 had a 72in already installed, so it had mower deck linkage attachments bolted to the...

Had to go to AL to get her back to MN, but it was just too good of a deal to pass up. She's got 318 hrs, 72 MMM, R4s, but I'm also looking to add a FEL. I asked my local dealer to quote me a LA403 (loader, loader value, and 60" bucket) and he came back at $4100. That's slightly higher than I...

My right side (facing the tractor POV) steering linkage popped out of the ball joint while doing some field work. I tried to pop it back in, but the housing is too worn. It just falls out when some force and gravity are applied. So went to Agcopartsbook and looked up the part (1048272M92)...

I've been looking at adding some aux hydraulics to my MF 230. I'll warn you that I'm a novice with Massey's :), but this is what I've found so far. If you don't need to run the 3pt and the aux at the same time you can run a diverter. The pressure from the lift pump (3 point) can be sent out...

I'm considering adding a front end loader to my 1976 Massey 230. The tractor doesn't have any remotes, but it does have hydraulics for the 3pt. I've been doing a little research online, but thought I'd ask the group for their thoughts. I'm trying to keep the total project to ~$1000 if...

Success!! I'll write this up just in case somebody else runs into this same problem with their Massey 230. First things first. The Zenith carb is a 68x7, not a 60 or 161. I ended up buying a Zenith carb manual and found this sheet. Most of this wasn't new info to me except that you should...

Thanks for all the feedback guys. So I pulled off the carb and determined it's a Zenith 13800 carburetor. My understanding that somehow translates to a model 61 or 161. Not sure how that works, but google seems to think so. I guess the previous owner tried to rebuild it as well, because it...

I tried the 1,3,4,2 and she wouldn't start at all. Looking at it 1,3,4,2 is that same as 1,2,4,3 if you go counter-clockwise! :) So I set it back and she's running just like before. Yep, the gap is 0.025 not .25. I finally got my hands on a used timing light (harder to find these days) and...

I'm pretty sure my tractor is running rich, because I recently replaced some fouled plugs and I also have trouble keeping her running without some choke. I was going to pull the carb and try to clean it out, but I thought I'd start with trying to adjust the mixture. I've looked at it and the...

It's been about two months, but I finally got around to posting some pics of my new electronic tach. I purchased a Datcon 4k (light and hours) for ~$40 from Ebay. It was pretty easy to install, but I had a heck of time getting a good reading. It was initially reading about 4 times the...

I'm new to the forum and hoping some experts can help me out. I just purchased a 1976 MF 230 (4cyl gas) tractor. She's running pretty good, put my tachometer isn't showing RPMs. I've taken the cable off the distributor and confirmed that if I spin it the tach works (working cable, working...
