My Dk40SE has plastic tanks. A few years ago I let my wife do some brush hogging unsupervised, got an alder up in the fan and wiped out every blade on the fan. I pulled out the entire cooling pack so I could have a rad shop check things over. It's bit of a process to pull everything out...

I bought an Espar coolant heater 20+ years ago for a Mercedes car I had with a diesel engine. I would park at the train station and set the timer so that it would start 30 minutes before I arrived, one of the greatest investment I made. Fast forward, I scrapped the car, but kept the heater, it...

To close out this long saga for anyone else who may find this in the future and are trying to solve a similar issue, here's where I ended up. I ended up splitting the tractor again, pulling out the reverser unit and pretty much replaced every seal inside of it and checked over everything else...

My 72" Kioti blower is 1/4", I run grade 5 bolts, anything less and you're constantly changing out the bolt when you grab a piece of ice wrong. Never had an issue, the grade 5 will break if you pull anything too substantial.

I can't comment on the specifics of what you maybe into with this repair, but I have a 410A with a bad reverser which has some similarities to the 301A and the vast majority of the minor fasteners are 9/16 with the odd ones being 7/16 or 1/2. For the big fasteners you'll be looking at 7/8...

Looks like Cat builds a purpose build track loader for slag work. https://www.pon-cat.com/en-no/arkivet/archives/track-loaders/cat-973k-track-loader-steel-mill-configuration Includes high temp seals for the undercarriage.

I have a front mount on my DK40 and it has never given me any trouble in the 10 years I've owned it. The up side of paying the premium for a front mount is that it's a lot easier to operate, especially if you have a long driveway to clear. The downside is that you can't use the loader while...

If you go on Google and search for "Bundy Bears Shed Deere steering" you'll find a couple videos where goes through pretty much everything about these systems.

Looks like there is a kit from Deere that will allow for fitment: https://partscatalog.deere.com/jdrc/sidebyside/equipment/81181/referrer/navigation/pgId/64030189...

I had to split my 755 a couple years ago and while I was in there I replaced the cooler lines. I would never say it's impossible to do the job without splitting the tractor, but it's going to be a fight and you'll probably end up tearing the machine most of the way down. It's been a couple...

I'll put money on a defective relay. Mine was intermittent, messed around chasing grounds, but in the end, a new relay fixed it. There are two different version and I'm not sure if they interchange. Pull your dash and get the number off it before you order one. Jason

I went through the process of figuring out the parts list to make this happen once and in my digging I believe I found that the turbine inlet was either a T03 or a T04 port. It's been a couple years, but I'm pretty confident that's what it was. The biggest thing that I came up with during my...

The linkage between the pedals and the hydro unit on my tractor was bent due to a stick going someplace it shouldn't have. In the process of restoring the range of travel, I messed around with the limiters and in my experience, the limiter set just shy of the maximum stroke, so I don't think...

Had something similar happen to mine a number of year ago, in my case the float detents were rusty and jammed causing more force to snap it out of float, in the end I broke the cast aluminum yoke. I have a cab on my DK40SE and there are a couple caps behind the rear remote controls, pop them...

My 410 can be described as a drippy old unit. When I first bought it I didn't monitor the oil level in the transmission close enough and once it dropped to a certain point, the system started to make some odd noises. The machine dug fine, but one of the valves next to the transmission would...

The cab step and fuel tank strap were not damaged as a result of the front falling off, my vote would be systemic abuse.

With the recent cold snap we have been having on the east coast my steering cylinder has developed a small leak when cold. Once the warm oil gets in there it stops, but it's not going to get any better with time. I looked up the parts breakdown and as usual, Kioti is only offering the entire...

That's an operator. Those snow removal services will typically have a fleet of machines and it's all about time. They need to complete their route in a specific amount of time, otherwise the customers start to call and complain. Typically, there is enough margin in those businesses that the...

It's a known issue, I've heard there was an issue with the process the plant used to install the input seal and it resulted in a leak on some units. My Dk40 developed the leak fairly early on and it was covered under warranty. I believe it's part 7 in this diagram...

I had a problem this summer with my Dk40SE where the PTO would engage sometimes, not others. The relay the operates that solenoid is behind the dash and you have to pull the entire cover off to get access to in. I cleaned up the ground initially, but it didn't solve the problem, in the end, I...

I don't know the layout of the DK4510, but when my wife got a stick jammed into the fan and cleaned off all the blades, I had to pull the entire cooler pack out to get at the fan. It's been a while, but I think I was able to swing the AC condenser out of the way, tweak the hydraulic cooler...

I don't have an electronic engine in my tractor, but I have a case one time where I bought some bad fuel. The tractor would start oddly, smoke and just didn't work completely like it should. When I refueled with a different batch, everything went back to normal. No idea if it was related, but...

I just did a quick search on JD Parts and I see A&I provides aftermarket clutch disks for the 410B. If you're ok with rebuilding the unit yourself, you can source some of the parts through A&I, you may have to go directly to Deere for the seals and I've found that to be hit and miss with...

I have a fair number of stones in my ground and there is no way a PTO auger would make any progress, I've tried and failed. With the hydraulic unit mounted to the loader I was able to apply down pressure and chew through the rocks. I'm lucky that most of my stones are sand stone, so as long as...

Not directly related, but you might want to check out Jerry Rig Everything on YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWFKCr40YwOZQx8FHU_ZqqQ He's doing an electric conversion on a retired HMMWV that might give you some ideas on the some of the problems you'll need to overcome.

I can capture the oil, but for the expense of it and the risk of introducing more dirt, I'd probably just dump is on a brush pile and light it up. To re & re the shuttle transmission myself would probably be $1000, the seals are cheap, clutch disks are not too expensive and I probably wouldn't...

Pulled them out and nothing looked out of place. Springs were in good shape, nothing stuck in the seat area.

After a bunch of digging and further testing I've have the following update: - Chased down all of the relief and surge valves in the system and everything looks ok - Pulled the shuttle valve off and inspected everything inside of it, no issues found. - Replaced all of the gaskets and seals in...

Correct, I guess I should have pointed that out in my initial post. Based on what I've read, 150 is idea, 100 is acceptable, (especially if you consider the age of the machine). I assume I'm losing flow somewhere, just need to find it.

That's where I'm heading next I think, chase down the simple stuff before hauling the reverser out. I was looking at the hydraulic flow diagram again and I found a tee that connects the low pressure pump output to the main pump and the return filter. My assumption is that if the main pump...

Finally back trying to figure this problem out. After the diff lock mess, I put everything back together, checked the strainer, relief valve and filters. I replaced both filters, removed the relief valve and verified it was functioning and washed the small amount of debris off the strainer. I...

I would say check your fuel filter and make sure your tank is venting correctly to start with. When it starts to die, crack the fuel cap and see if it sucks air.

On my 755 there is a wire hook that holds the hoses back against the frame to avoid rubbing. I believe 15B in the attached pictures is the wire. It looks different from what is on mine, but I assume there are a lot of variants out there.

Thanks for the feedback. I slept on the dilemma and I can't come up with any other possible explaination. I priced out my options when it comes to the spider gears this morning and I think I'll bolt it back up and run it as is for now. I was hoping to make the machine roadable so that I could...

The axle in my 410 has been locked since the day I bought it. The first hint I had something was not right was the green paint on the left axle tube. I has a suspicion that something bad happened on that side and messed up the diff lock and when they replaced the axle tube, they didn't replace...

Interesting idea on the shop vac, might have to give it a shot and take a peek at it.

The oil was cold when I did the pressure test, but it's supposed to be fairly warm today, so I'm thinking I'll try again in the afternoon and let it warm up a bit first. I was told by the former owner that the oil and filters had been changed recently, I see evidence to support that claim and...

I have an old 410 I bought last summer. In the warm weather, forward and reverse would engage without issue, I was able to put the tractor in high first without any noticable slippage. When the cold weather arrived, the machine had a hard time pulling itself around in low first. Revese...

My Kioti Dk40 has a single rear hydraulic port with the option to add a second. I was thinking about adding another valve to my tractor and was curious of the lay out. I looked at the parts catalog and I'm wondering if there are third party valve bodies available. I assume Kioti is buying off...

I was given a Ford 575 backhoe that my father didn't need anymore that I need to adapt to my DK40. I was hoping to swap the sub frame that worked in the other thread about the Chinese backhoe, but it's not going to happen, it's a different system. It looks like New Holland used the same rail...

The bolt that holds the output gear on the hydrostat unit finally broke on my 755 and I had to pull it apart. We got the hydrostat unit out without too much effort without removing the entire rear end, fished the bolt head and washer out with a bore scope and a magnet, but lost a magnet in the...

My hydrostatic Dk40 is just past the 4 year mark (out of warranty) and has 800 hours on the clock. I had to move it to my other house on the weekend and when traveling down the road in high range I felt it wasn't moving as fast as it should. When I was doing some work around the yard I found...

I'm getting an L4150 with a house I'm purchasing. I did an inspection last night and saw it is not setup with a skidsteer quick attach. Is there a source for either a Kubota or after market kit to add the quick attach? I need to set a bunch of fence posts when I take possession of the house...

A friend of mine recently bought a used DK55 and on the weekend he noticed some odd behavior. When the AC clutch engages, the temp gauge will peg. When the AC clutch kicks out, the gauge will go back to normal. My first guess is a dirty ground somewhere and maybe some stray voltage back...

In reality part #3 might be compatible with the Ford hoe with some slight modifications. The front attachment point will require some additional work as I think part number 1 goes in the same spot as the rear subframe mount for the front mount blower, but I think it can be overcome with a...

Does anyone have some pictures of how the mounting system works? My father has offered to give me the backhoe from his Ford compact and I'm curious to know how Kioti attaches their hoe to the tractor before I commit. It's been several years since I've seen the Ford hoe, but I believe there are...

Finally started to get some real snow in the forecast so I decided it was time to take the loader off and hook up the blower on the weekend. We had about 8" of heavy wet snow today and that gave the tractor a real workout, could only do about 50% on the forward pedal in low range otherwise the...

I don't like starting a cold diesel in the dead of winter and it can be plenty cold where I am located in January & February. I discussed this with my dealer and he told me that Kioti's official stance on this is their tractors do not require a block heater. The dealer agreed with me that a...

I've been going back and forth on what I wanted to buy next for the last 6 months, finally made up my mind that a cab tractor with front mount blower was going to be the most practical solution for my problems. The wife won't have any excuses as to why the driveway isn't clear when I get home...

I need to pick up a wood splitter and it would be nice to run it off my tractor but I'm not sure if the little hydraulic pump would put out enough flow to make it worth while. According to tractordata.com the pump is rated for 5.6GPM and I assume that is when the engine is running wide open...

I've always had a bit of a thing for the old 2 cylinder diesels and one has come up for sale not far from me that has most of the stuff I'm interested in for what appears to be a decent price. I've been hunting around for information on what to look for on these machines but haven't been able...

Hello everyone, I've been looking at used mulchers and I found a 100hp Gehl wheeled skidsteer with track chains and a FAE UML/SSL head. I have seen a couple videos on Youtube of a similar setup mulching material that would be similar to what I want to clean up and it seems to do a decent job...

If the tractor was any closer to the train the operator might of had his toenails clipped as well.

Transit, If you were asking me to post a picture here's what I'm talking about. Sorry for the crude drawing, don't have time for artwork these days.

My neighbour is selling one, it has the V4 Wisconsin engine and open top. She's an older machine but his son says it all works. I'll get it out for a test drive in a day or two. Can't quite figure out the drive system, I see a cardan shaft from the engine to a right angle gear box and that...

Hello Everyone, My father inlaw wants to deepen his pond and doesn't want to pay for a dragline. His pond isn't very big but has 2-3 feet of dead organic sludge on the bottom, if you step off the boat you'll be up to your waist in goop. Has anyone here ever tried doing this with a trash pump...

Hello everyone, I have a soft sided cab for my 755 and it certainly makes the job of blowing snow a lot nicer but I'm thinking I'd like a little extra heat. I get enough heat blowing back from the engine to keep the windows clear but after a while you still start to notice the cold. I found a...

Hello Everyone, After a long winter it's finally time to put the blower away and think about mounting the mower. I received the tractor in January so the only thing I did was unclip the mower and put it out of the way. Now that the grass is starting to grow again it's nearly time for me to...

Hello Everyone, I recently picked up a 755 and everything looks to be pretty decent with it, needs a little TLC here and there but over all I'm happy with my purchase. One thing that has me a little concerned is the PTO clutch, it's a little tricky to get it engaged sometimes. The symptoms...

Hello Everyone, I've been looking for a compact tractor in the 20 hp range with a loader and MMM and found one that is in my price range. I've uploaded the pictures the seller sent to me to my website and if there are any 755 experts out there who would like to pick this machine apart please...
