Kioti lk2554

So my sight glass on the tractor is half way up the window. Taking the cap off I noticed a lot of bubble/air. Does the fluid need to be at the top of the sight glass? Also can anyone tell me what the regular later does? I purchased this tractor and noticed I don’t have one. Sorry for the double question. Thanks so much

Hello and welcome to TBN. Congratulations on getting your LK2554. It is a well made little tractor than will serve you well.

The level of the hydraulic fluid being 1/2 way on the site glass is perfect. You might notice it is closer to the top after it runs for a while and that is okay as well. The bubbles in the tank are probably from the fluid circulating and not an issue. If you are getting air in the system you should hear it and will notice jerky steering and or you would notice it when using the loader. If all that is smooth then you should be fine. If it is getting air in the system then the likely source is the rubber suction hose located just before the pump. It is a short hose bigger in diameter than the rest of the hydraulic hoses and has hose clamps on each end.

The regulator is voltage regulator for your charging system. It mounts on the firewall next to the fuse box. Some people have changed it to a solid state style that will look different but does the same thing. Also they could have changed to alternator to one with a built in regulator. You can check it with a voltmeter at the battery. Check the voltage before starting to see resting voltage of the battery. Then check it with the tractor running and you should notice a higher voltage. If it is around 14 volts your regulator is working.

Hope this helps. Have a great day.
