Kioti not starting. Oil and Battery light.

[Coyote machine]

I had my dealer install two new harnesses -- the one that services the front of the tractor and the one that services the back. I think these all mate under that dash panel so the tractor can be split in half for service. I'm thinking each harness was between $50 and $100 for just the part but I can't remember. That dealer in Swansea, NH is no longer in business unfortunately -- the mechanic there already had experience in changing harnesses on other machines, so that is why I chose him to take care of mine.

Aside from the harness job he also did my 200 hour service including changing HST oil (per kioti's new guidelines my HST oil didn't get changed at 50 hour service, just filters and cleaning of the magnetized drain plug) and he also disassembled and cleaned the key switch.

I think the total bill was like $300-$400 but I can't remember. I'd have to dig up the invoice. I was happy it made the tractor electrically sound.

If I remember correctly Michigan Iron and probably Rick Wallace would be happy to quote you the harness prices and ship them to you so you can install.

If you don't have the Workshop manual and Parts Manual, I would suggest you get them since they have schematics, exploded diagrams etc. of the entire machine. I have them and right off the back the part numbers are:

Workshop Manual Part # S196-W00 printed OCT. 2006
Parts Manual Part # S196-P04 printed JUN. 2006

Good luck and let us know who the job turns out!

FWIW,
Kioti requires the transmission fluid AND filters be changed at 50 hour service interval as well as cleaning the magnetic plug. There has been some debate about this in recent threads but I went directly to Kioti N. A. headquarters and have the official position Kioti takes on this matter posted in a thread titled: "KIOTI'S 'Official' position on 50 hour trans service".
Check it out. I know its too little to late for your tractor- but it is worth knowing to pass along to others who may be misled by the incorrect info in some of the owner's manuals.
Thx,
CM

Thanks. I had already ordered my parts manual, but it is not here yet. I really appreciate you sending me the model numbers for those harnesses. I will probably call those guys in the next couple of days to get that part ordered.

It's a 2006.

So it seem to take 4 to 5 years for corrosion to eat through. This should give me a little time to get the dielectric grease on all the connectors.

Keep it inside and it should take longer than that.

My is, which maybe why I have had fewer electrical problem.

just a heads up to the kioti buyers/owners. i was playing with my tractor wiring today...trying to add a led beacon for next winter.

what im finding is all the wiring connectors ive unplugged are weatherproof type. they all have rubber inner seals.

maybe kioti is listening to your complaints and fixing the future problems.
