- Kioti DK45S w/ KL451 Loader 1954 Ford NAA 1948 Ford 8N 1939 Ford 9N
I have a 2006 DK45S with a KL451 loader that has a skid steer type quick connect/disconnect plate to hook up attachments to. I just got the tractor (used) and have used the bucket that was on it when I bought it with no issues. Just bought a grapple and pallet forks for it and went to swap out the bucket for the pallet forks to unload the grapple from the bed of my pickup when I discovered the lever in the center you flip to release the pins on the quick connect is missing. I can see where the screw that held it in place is sheared off inside the round pivot. I was able to use an appropriate sized wrench as it is flat on two sides to get my bucket off -but probably want to replace this lever. I would guess that bolt that is sheared off is hardened, and would be very difficult to drill out. I'll bet these levers get ripped off with frequency because where they are located.
Does anyone know if the entire pivot can be replaced?
