Found the actuator and switch on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BC889G72 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RXQGJLT The aluminum tubes are filled with wood so they don't crush where the plate is attached. Make sure you have enough room for the body of the switch,where ever you...

CM, I had the same issue with my CK35 when new. There was a lock washer under the spring which just kept loosening the bolt with every swing of the handle. My solution was to place a thin washer on each side of the spring. The bolt would eventually loosen a bit, but it took a long time...

I would start with making sure your gear range selector and four wheel drive levers are actually fully engaged, not partially.

Ran into this a few years ago with my 332. My experience, epoxy. Here is a thread from another forum. https://www.wfmachines.com/threads/jd-332-fuel-filter.129574/ Andrew.

How wide was the deck on the 345? I switched from a 46" to a 50" deck and the cut was very different on the hilly and undulating areas. Cutting short at the edges of the deck and leaving the grass long in any depressions. No issues on the flats. The 46" deck did the same, but it was minimal and...

I have never paid for shipping parts to dealer, as long as it came with his scheduled shipment from Kioti. This seemed to be about every 2 weeks. Shipped by itself, I would have to pay.

Glad to hear you found the issue. Now you just have to put it all back together. We're rooting for you.

Here is a link which will help explain things. http://2881neches.com/kioti/

I see that the linkage from the "C" plate to the foot pedal is orientated differently between your tractors. Not sure if that would make a difference.

If you remove the rear backhoe mount from the trans case you will lose the mounting point for the draw bar. Something to think about.

Have you tried flipping the lower arms 180*?

another one.

good luck

Thanks. The skid shoes are not that great. I run the blower with the top link shortened like it sits in pic 2, then lengthen it up once the base is frozen. Planning to make some larger rectangular shoes and orientating them parallel with the cutting edge to maximize the footprint when tipped...

Here is a cradle I made out of a found dolly a few years ago. Blower weighs a little over 400 lbs and with a swepted floor you can roll it around with one hand. With the blower still on the tractor roll the dolly under it and add what ever you need to cradle the blower.

Congrats on the new tractor. Here are a few items I have needed. A good oil filter wrench, everyone has their favorite. A can of Dupli-color Chevy Orange Engine. For touch up and painting add-ons. A pressure guage with quick coupler to plug into loader valve to check relief valve pressure. A if...

I can't recall what else besides the hydro filter is vulnerable under the tractor. If you think the problem is related to getting stuck in the ditch, maybe something cracked and is letting air into the system. Cracked hydro filter housing? Is the fluid foamy once its warmed up?

Have you checked that the vent is not blocked as suggested. You do not want pressure to build in there, it could pop out a seal.

Can you back drag some of the snow with high concentrations of gravel back onto the edge of the driveway to melt?

Mine will stay on till the driveway is dry and firm. I don't need the tractor till i can drive on the grass and in the woods. https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/814day/

The Kioti parts manual shows them to be M8x1.25. When you remount the treadle make sure it has full travel for and aft. It is possible to install the treadle and find that Rev is much faster than before, but foward is now slower.

CK35.

Thanks Dave, I was thinking that you had the (older) common leak at the trans cooler. Now that I see where you are talking about I will keep an eye on those areas when greasing though I don't ever recall reading about leaks in those areas. Thanks, Andrew

Economical solution. 2 link ladder, 3/8" twisted cross links. Paid $260/pair July 2021. Had to buy a much larger set and remove 3 links from the cross links to fit. All the 2 link ladder for my tire size were for garden tractors. Very light weight. If I had to do it again, (economical), I...

Dave, I know older Kioti CKs had a problem with trans cooler lines failing from vibration and fixed the issue with some redesign. Here is a pic of my 2012 CK35 trans cooler lines (same left or right). This is how the tractor came from the factory. If your lines are the same could you please let...

I am in the process of finishing up one and found this thread and sub-threads most helpful. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/another-underslung-story.434120/ Andrew.

Thanks Dave, figured it out.

Quick question. I am running hoses for a Meyers plow mounted on a ssqa plate. The cylinders are single action. Do I need to fill the SA cylinders with fluid before hooking up? If I mount the plow, lift it up and dump the curl so the plow and cylinders are verticle with the connections up, will...

Who rebuilt the pump? If they used new old stock parts I could see this happening over and over. The original gear teeth were prone to breaking.

In addition to all that s219 posted, I would also like to add that if you will be using a 3pt snowblower, I find it very easy to turn side saddle and heel the reverse side of the treadle. Much more comfortable than trying to reach foward for the twin peddles.

Have seen this before. Can you post a pic of how the 3pt arms are connected to the blower, and where the toplink is connected to the tractor. Here is a lengthy link that should also help. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/woodmaxx-snowblower-shear-bolts.408336/ Andrew.

Maybe this Kioti thread can help. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/kioti-parking-brake-failure-has-this-happened-to-you.286134/

This might clear some things up. Not sure what a ck2510m is. Edit: woops, thought I posted the CX manual page.

Here is some info in post #21. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/ck2610-loader-vs-kl4030-loader.409170/

I have had extremely good results using mint oils to deter mice. My technique is to take a small medicine bottle, drill a bunch of 3/32" holes in it, put some cotton balls in the bottle, soak with oils, cap and place. Since I started using this system I have zero mice in my cars and equipment.

Randolph, It takes time to get adjusted to an HST peddle coming from a tractor with an accelerator peddle. Myself included. Just about everything we drive has an accerator peddle and our muscle memory will want to push down on it to go faster or increase engine rpm. Think of the HST peddle as a...

It looks like the older fitting doesn't have that flat o-ring mating surface machined. I would think you could remove the original fitting and sand a flat on it with a piece of sandpaper on the workbench. Like you would flatten a small engine cylinder head. At least it would take out any...

If I recall correctly, the early generation CKs used some plastic parts in the loader joystick. Upgraded to metal in later years. Something to check before spending any money.

Thank-you for the help Joe, I already have the service manual. Nice bunch of tractors there. Andrew.

Great idea with the resistors. If you haven't done so already, make sure your signal wire from the sensor isn't shorting out intermittently on its way to the dash cluster.

Have you resolved this problem? If not a battery problem, could be a faulty ignition switch. Pro gator info and forums seem to be non existent. Please keep us posted to increase the info out there.

2500W = 3.35 HP I would think it would be fine for small accumulations of powdery snow. I also would not expect much from 3HP.

Steve, if a new sight glass tube does not fix your fluid loss issue, it’s possible you have a leaky axle seal. The axle nut will be coated with oil and you will have oil dripping from the brake drum. keep us posted.

If you have steering brakes on the tractor, their use will greatly help with the front pushing.

I see a set of backhoe stabilizer pads in your future. I bought a set of Big Foot Pads years ago and am very happy with them. Not sure what they cost now but they weren’t cheap then. Great looking package and nice to see your excitement with it. Should give you decades of service. Good Luck.

Just choose which Bobcat best fits your needs. There is no reason to bring another manufacturer into the decision.

Fuel cap venting properly?

The same thing happened to me. CK35 with KB2475 hoe. I used to stow the 3pt arms above the platform. To gain boot space I started to stow the arms below the deck and had some interference with the swing cylinders as you did. The solution is to set the 3pt arms where you want them, then lock down...

My KB2475 does the same thing. I purchased the tractor new. Since I only put a few hours a year on the backhoe, I just deal with it, keep pushing the outriggers down as needed. Most of my large projects are finished.

Find out what the tank is made of. Abs, Pvc, PP, PE. And plastic weld it. I have repaired many tanks this way. I use a portasol butane soldering iron with a hot knife attachment. Melt the substrate then feed rod into it. Plastic welding rods can be bought on e-bay. You get about 20 rods of each...

Do you have a part number? Is it the same hst transmission that is in the 420/430/318-332? If so, it should be easy to find and it may be easier to just replace the transmission.

My bucket indicator is a tube and rod. I had the same issues you have, and did not want to cut the rod. I put a piece of 3/4" pex with a notch cut out on the tube. With the bucket on the ground and level adjust the pex so the rod is even with the end. The notch in the pex is so you can see how...

I had a leak from the same spot on my CK35. Any leak will come out that hole. I noticed the leak at 4 hrs, it most likely came from the factory that way. The dealer split the tractor and fixed it under warranty. He never found the leak, just ordered a seal and gasket kit for that area from what...

The front end loader should not come into play at all.

Good to hear you're up and running again. Thanks for the update.

I have the same issues with my CK35. The KL130 loader does not have great capacity. Before totally giving up you should measure, and make sure the relief pressure is set to spec. My relief pressure was 150psi low, I turned it up 350psi over spec. The loader is now more usable, and for me, I...

I only have a Kioti ck manual, not sure how similar they are. Looking at the schematic, it looks like the hold coil current goes through the Key Switch. Do the headlights and flashers work? Maybe some WD-40 worked in the key switch.

The OP's CK35 has a hook to keep the clutch depressed if the right size chunk of wood can't be found.

If its good for you that's great. It doesn't match.

Chevy engine orange is a match for Kioti orange. Kubota orange will not match. This has been discussed to many times in the past.

I used to park my CK35 with KB2475 hoe in a 19'-6" deep garage. I could walk around the front and had a foot between the backhoe bucket and door. The loader bucket was fully dumped(curled under) and the backhoe was swung 45* so i could sneak around the bucket. Here is a pic in that garage...

I would imagine you could order it from them if color match is important. There should be a part number for it. I have yet to find close color match for my Schulte blower. I have the part number, but I'm afraid of the cost. No part number in manual. I emailed them and they responded with a part...

You need to find the leak before you do anything. Diagnose. Don't waste your time and money replacing parts just to hope its fixed. It may take a while to find the leak, as you said it has to sit a while before it shows itself. As others have said, clean the area as best you can. Maybe dusting...

Here is some info on the crossmember.

Jeffy, Not sure if this pertains to the DK series, the CK series had some issues with backhoes putting more heat than normal into the hydro fluid because the backhoe return line was returning through the remote valve. Their solution was to dump the backhoe return right into the hydraulic fluid...

John if you start getting beat up from the hardware hitting you while turning you can mount the knob on the inside on a spoke as others have stated.

Kman, if you fill through the valve cover pour very slowly. It is possible to fill the valve cover faster than it drains down to the sump. The oil can travel through the breather hose to the intake and fill up any cylinder that has its intake valve open. There is another oil fill at the orange...

YLee, does your expansion tank have a hose coming from the radiator to the bottom of the tank, and an overflow hose going from the top of the tank directed to the ground? Or does the tank just have a cap on it and the antifreeze overflows through the cap threads? A slot in the male threads of...

Not my pic, someone posted this a couple of years ago.

Hillbilly, nice work with those tabs, they look very aggressive and should do fine. Noticed in your second pic last post, there are two holes top left quadrant of the drum. I am wondering if you are missing a partial closure plate.

Here is a Kioti engine brochure with engine power curves. Not sure if it is valid any more. I think you are looking at the F series. Whoops, just noticed the curves are not for the 40 to 55 hp range.

Happy for you Dougdo. You must have been very relieved when you found that. Simple. If you are concerned this can happen again you could secure the roll pin by putting a wire through and around shaft.

Yes, understand now. I don’t have any measurements. Here are some pics from an auction site.

This is from my kl130 loader manual. Looking at the assembly instructions they list the size, quantity, and where to install the bolt. No other torque info so .... use the generic torque chart. You have a larger loader and I would think larger bolts than what is listed in my KL130 assembly...

Here is the part# for the Bigfoot pads.

On my CK35 that U-bolt secures the hydro hoses just above the swing cylinders. There is a bracket with two holes in it, nut on each side of the bracket. Two nuts came loose.

Guessing you already have this page from the manual. Step 3. remove cap and add shims. Not sure what “stake to valve body” means. Could there be a pin through it or is it crimped on. Can you post a pic of it? Don’t be embarrassed by any damage you may have done, we’ve all been there.

Part #s

Here are a couple of pages out of my KL130 loader owners manual.

The dash on my my CK35 had a grommet next to the headlight switch which I removed and installed a marine female cigarette lighter plug with no cutting. Ran wires directly to battery with 20a fuse near battery. I mainly use it for a float charger. Not sure how similar your dash is to mine.

I believe you James.... about $8 on eBay. I also think there should be a sticky explaining Ohms Law and the use of a DVOM. The meters are free at Harbor Freight I have about 7 of them. One in each building and one in each vehicle.

My CK35 Manual says to only shift into FWD when the tractor is stopped. My model has no FWD indicator light on dash so I stuck some mailbox numbers next to the lever so I know which wheels are engaged. Congrats on the new tractor and what a beautiful building.

Sprayed the 3pt ends today and it is an exact color match for my 2012 CK35. The cap color does not match what’s in the can. Possibly the 2009s model number indicates the year of color change. Just a guess.

I have been using grey 1 1/2” electrical pvc for a while now on my gravel drive. I’ve been getting 3 seasons out of the pvc. It’s only a 54” blade and no loader arms so not much weight on it. As for cutting a slot in a length of metal pipe I would recommend a plasma cutter.

Kco, glad you got you problem resolved and shared your observations. If you are afraid the rollpins may work their way loose again you may want to thread a wire through the rollpins and twist around the shaft. It won’t stop the pins from egging out the hole if they are that loose. It will keep...

I got the idea from Billrog. Bucket is level when the rod is even with the end of the pex. I cut out a section of the pex so I can now see how far below level the bucket is.

My cylinders are as long as they need to be so the hoe swings 90* each side of center. I’m guessing that you are saying that the cylinder shown in post 11 is fully extended? Are the cylinders plumbed correctly? I added a pic showing how the two cylinders should be plumbed.

I have a KB2475 hoe. When I mount it, I usually land the 3pt on top of the platform in the blue circle, this time I didn’t. Following this thread I went out to look at my unit and noticed the back of the swing cylinder is hitting the 3pt arm. I raised the arms a little and locked out the MLS...

First off, I do not recommend turning up the system pressure above the manufactures specs. It may result in damage, injury or death. If you feel your loader is not operating as specified, it is possible the relief valve is set at a lower pressure than the manufactures settings. You will need a...

Here are some pics of the telescoping sway link on my CK35. ( NOT a CK3510 ). I would think that if the mounting point at the axle is in the same place on both tractors, and you welded a "U" shaped bracket onto the 3pt arm, then you should be able to use the pinned sway links from a CK series on...

Here is a pic of the torque charts right out of my KL130 loader owners/parts manual. Measure the diameter of the bolt so you know what you are actually tightening. They also recommend to re-torque after every 25hrs of loader use.

The manual does not tell you to hook up a top link. Actually the seat support and center platform is in the way. They are both removable, I'm guessing that whoever makes the hoe also makes a 3 pt hoe and this is a shared part. Here are some pics of the rear mount 2012 CK35. Different from...

Is it going to be stored indoors? If yes, you could make a cradle for it on a dolly. This assumes that it will lift high enough while still on the tractor. I made this for my 3pt blower. Roll the dolly under the blower, drop it on the dolly and disconnect it. It's very stable and rolls...

Just put the backhoe on to ready some holes before the apple trees arrive and the subframe to hoe was very sloppy, loose bolts. Tightened all bolts and it was still sloppy. It seems the upper left bolt in the pic egged out the hole some. Only explanation. It seems like the only solution I can...

The flat plates on the end of the stabilizers are for mounting pads, thus the 6 holes. Have seen some good diy pads. Here's a Big Foot pad and a Kioti rubber pad

If it is a roll pin you could put a wire through it and twist to secure it. The older JD garden tractor trannys came from the factory with a wire through the pin for insurance.

You are correct, it is a straight forward maintenance activity. 1. Remove mower deck, it's probably time to sharpen the blades anyway. 2. Remove belly screen. 3. Drain hydro fluid, plug towards back of tractor. Replace plug. 4. Replace filter and fill with new hydro fluid. Fluid level should...

2012 Kioti CK35hst with 1995 Schulte 6200 3pt blower. 1985 JD 318 with 54" 4 way plow. North East PA got hit pretty hard. 24-28" measured in several spots.

Nice blower dolly. It must be that time of year, I just made one a few weeks ago. I have no kickstand on blower so I made a cradle. New out building and I wanted the blower and tiller stored indoors. Model 30 hydro tiller dolly is next. Then I'll think about the backhoe.

Went out and operated the QA handles and they were both loosening the bolt. Sprayed some Fluid Film between the handle and stainless washer and all was fixed. I'm going to have to add this lube point to the regular greasing, and especially after a power wash. Hope this helps.

If your dealer installed the dump kit for the backhoe return,you can remove the QA connector along with the elbow and nipple and fill the hydro fluid from there. It's a lot easier than pouring almost 8 gallons through the dip stick hole.

Nice looking machine Bravo. Glad you are having fun with it. Personally, I have never used the draw bar. I use the 3pt with a receiver hitch to drag. You can pick the leading edge up off the ground so it doesn't dig in. Also I would recommend getting a set of Big Foot pads for the backhoe...

I plow with my 318 in the winter and use Kubota super UTD 2. I find it has very good cold weather characteristics. Under $22 a gallon.

Didn't notice that your bucket was pinned and you are absolutely right about my QA bucket putting the weight further away from the lift pistons. One stone was to large and heavy to use the bucket so I took it off and carefully used the cross member.

That actually happens to be a good thing that the rod is outside the tube when level. If it was flush when level and you needed to tip the bucket down a little to do some work you would not be able to tell how much it is tipped down. Got this idea from Billrog a few months ago. Slip a piece of...

The Big Foot pads are made of 3/8" steel. They were recommended and supplied by my dealer when I purchases the tractor. Many here use them and seem to be very satisfied, so I knew they were needed. Without any pads your tractor will just be sliding around while "trying" to do backhoe work.

If I was looking for another 3pt blower I would buy a used one again. I looked for about 5 months till I drove by one for sale on someones front yard last July. They are out there but you have to always be looking and patient. You could save yourself a lot of money. 3pt blowers are pretty...

Nice mods, I especially like the pex on the loader tube level indicator. I have the exposed part of the rod painted, but it requires touching up the paint to often. Will be buying a piece of pex very soon. One thing I did was extend the parking brake lever.

Congrats on your purchase. Is that a model 30 hydraulic tiller with the 12" extension? I have been looking for one locally for a while. Also, reading threads here and on WFM, all who have gone from the pto tiller to the hydro say the hydro is an animal compared to the pto tiller. At least on...
