Kioti, Hydraulic issues

Morgan1952 · Mar 26, 2005

Vince,
I really don't have any idea how long it was set that low. I'm just glad it wasn't the pump or some other serious problem. I'm grateful at this point that I can use it until I can trade it for a little bigger one. Like the LK3054, I'm looking at. Hopefully I'll get it soon.

Thanks again
Bob

OOOps something happened to the pic. Double posted and no pic. It's another of those simple little things I'm sure /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Usually if the pump is going bad all hydraulics would be very slow load or not. I s the hydraulics noisy. Air in the system will sound like the pump is grinding rocks. If you have the old hydraulic filter I would cut it open and check for metal in the filter medium. If you have checked all the basics, fluid level etc. I would check the relief valve first.

Hello John, Yea, another oops, evendently the file was too large and I'm trying to get it smaller so I can post it. I didn't realise that when I canceled the post that it went ahead and posted it, So I ended up with two post. OOPS, is right.
As for the post by Powhatan, I did check all the fluids and the filter, and changed them all. I did find some metal an the mag in the filter. However, with other post I have read it doesn't seem to be much to worry about. but I will keep an close eye on it in the future. I did check the relief valve as soon as I got the manuals and the gage. No problem there. I'm just happy that everything is working now. Thanks again for everyones help.

( Hello John, Yea, another oops, evendently the file was too large and I'm trying to get it smaller so I can post it. )
the best way to lower the file size without making the pic really small is to find the option where you can change the Dots Per Inch (DPI). Often this will default at 72, lower it until you're file size is around 96K or so. 100,000 bytes = 100K, but that's decieving, you need to be under 100K. Then you'll get a nice big picture instead of resizing until you get the right file size which will be a postage stamp! John

OK folks,
This time it should work. The file is below the requirement. I had to retake some of the pics, and set my camera at a lower setting. but Hey, I got it.
So, here we go. My LB1914
Thanks

I decided to post one more PIC. I know we need rain but this is getting carried a little to far. The lake in this pic, is normally a spring fead stream that runs from right to left. Right now the stream is about eight to nine feet below the surface. Does anyone have the drawings for a snorkle for this thing or can a Kioti swin. My loader is working and now the weather isn't very nice. Maybe I should try fish farming???? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Ask and ye shall recieve. There is a little known 'deep water' package available. I found the parts and have taken the liberty to add them to your tractor.

For future reference the parts are:

Trac Mask
Diesel Snorkel
Dive Flag

Looks like Don't fine additions is about the only way you're going to get to use it judging from the pic you posted! I hope it stops soon. Rain and work have been getting in my way, but it's starting to clear here. John

Morgan1952 · Mar 29, 2005

Well John,
You are correct again, It has stopped raining today and the sun is shining. However it is going to take several days or weeks before I get to do much work. I took a walk around the property today and took some more photo's. I have a dirt pile in the back I was using to landscape it's 6 or seven feet high and I can't even see it now. See attached pic.
I am going to post a couple more pics too.

Supposed to rain again Friday, but nothing like you've had. You're right, it's going to be a while before you can work around that area. Be careful when you do, there are going to be a lot of very soft spots! John

Morgan1952 · Mar 30, 2005

Thanks John,
I will be careful, I know the danger spots on this land pretty well and I'll stay away from them. Hope you don't get to much rain and have a great day.
