KL 120 & 130 loader issue formally acknowledged

[NY_kioti_sales]

Just got a fax today from Kioti tractor, product support manager, Robert Kemp. It reads...

We have recieved reports of cosmetic cracks developing on the torque tube (cross member between the arms of the boom) of some KL120 & KL130 loaders. While we have had no reports of failures resulting from these cracks, our engineers are working to design a suitable solution for this issue. One the information is ready to be released, KIOTI will notify you (the dealers) with further information regarding this issue.

So the problem is in the process of being addressed for all those concerned. I will post more as soon as I hear of it.
Thanks to all TBN readers.

Glad to see official notice. Regardless, cracks in ANY structural member of an item in use are not cosmetic. They propagate steadily as the item flexes during use. Even a crack in a cosmetic piece that is welded to a structural member can be a threat because it can cross into the structural member at the weld.

What did they look like Becky? I posted my fix on the looooong thread and I'm curious to see how close I am.
