Today I discovered that some parts for the RK can be ordered on line. I had always went to RKTractors.com before and looked at the parts catalogs there but I saw no way of placing an order. Today I was looking at their main website for Pat's quick hitch and when I looked at the different departments I noticed one marked parts and repair. When I opened that one up it shows the common parts such as filters and so forth with a price and showing available to ship to home. As a test I added an oil filter to my cart to see what the shipping would be and it's high. The only two methods available are FedEx and USPS Priority. I marked the USPS and the shipping cost added to the order was something like $11.95 which is outrageous for a $7.99 filter. I wish I would have tried adding a couple other items to the order to see if the shipping cost would have gone up or if maybe it's a flat shipping but I didn't think of it until I had closed the site down. If it's a flat shipping rate that wouldn't be bad if you had several things you need with the price of fuel the way it is.

I tried the site this weekend trying to get a filter and hydraulic filter based on published SKU numbers. Shipping was up to $13.xx so it goes up with item count. However, it would not let me complete the order - out of stock? I did look up the engine oil filter on line - KOMATSU YM129150-35153 at $4.72 and $16.50 shipping +tax... LOL. Quite a bit more than at RK. Lots of other compatible finds on google, but I had to laugh at that low price.

I had stopped at the RK store in Hanover on Saturday (detour on a road trip) and the marking on the shelf was confusing and did NOT match documentation SKU numbers. The helpful staff was also lost. Items that had tractor models (in miniscule letters) were almost all RK55, 74 or 25. Many slots were bare. I finally went home and when I looked online the RK part numbers also showed the TYM model number. That lets you search for alternatives on line - and I think match the shelf marking in the store!!!! Sheesh. Below is a table I created. Caveat Emptor (Buyer beware), I have not tested these.

Also, the Maintenance products page lists a lot of items but it turns out you don't need all of them for the 50 hr. service. I was about to buy the entire list but things like the Fuel filter are not needed for 500 or 1000 hrs. (depends where you read it.) The maintenance intervals seem nice and long for a light user like me so I expect to see clean oil at annual service intervals.

Hydrostatic oil filter compatibility:

Warning: The "compatible" oil filter list is based on other brand labels pictures.

So I got my engine oil filter from RK and looking at my stash I see that except for color it looks exactly like a Honda HP 202. But it is cheaper at RK with a TYM label.

Also, While searching for a Hydrostatic filter, the RK Tractor Guru told me you had to use RK materials and "register" them to have them honor your warranty. The store I bought most of the 50 Hr service supplies knew nothing about registering the parts.

Finally, all the stores in a 100 mile radius were out of the Hydrostatic filter. The online system would not complete the order. I was able to order one by calling the main RK number and speaking with a nice lady who placed the order on Wednesday and I had it Friday, but shipping Cost $12.93.

Better yet, do your own search.
