Low coolant indicator light - 2005 CK30

[HODAK]

Well, now I know what that light is that came on the other day. It's the warning light just below the high beam indicator light. Don't bother looking in the owner's manual - it's not mentioned. Apparently it's the coolant level light, I discovered a small puddle in the garage just under the right front side and haven't investigated where it's coming from, but it's definitely coolant. 6 years and 720 hours. I had a good couple of years with no problems - shouldn't complain too much I guess. I doubt if it's a hose, so that leaves the radiator itself. Anybody else have issues? At least I can call Bobcat and Kioti dealers for quotes......

Don't assume it's anything in particular until you verify it. It could just as easily be a water pump as the radiator, or a number of other things too. Make sure what the problem is before spending money on a fix.

After 5 years it could just be time for a new hose. They get brittle after a while or the clamps eat thru. Make sure you check it out for the simple things first.
