Kioti / Kubota
I picked up a Kioti today , any one know where to find year of tractor ? I have serial but no luck on year. Its a LS 1914 if I remember correctly . Has a FEL and a back hoe. May take equipement off and sell tractor .( I have a Kubota that I may mount the equipment on) . Its a pretty nice tractor. need a little TLC.. gotta figure out a few things on it . Guy that owned it died, engine was supposedly rebuilt about 20 hours ago. Charging system doesn't appear to be working . This thing smokes a black smoke .. Diesel smoke .. not sure if its injectors or injection pump ..

It is generally not a simple matter to move a loader or backhoe to a dissimilar tractor. The subframe that supports the attachment is generally a custom job for each tractor model. I am familiar with CK and DK models but not LBs.

Black smoke indicates Diesel fuel that is only partially burned. The most likely cause is old fuel and/or poor injector spray pattern. If you want to address it, I'd start with fresh fuel and a new fuel filter. If it still smokes, take the injectors to a local Diesel shop and have them tested and rebuilt, if necessary. The injection pump is probably not the problem, which is good because they aren't cheap. Failure to charge is probably the alternator or a wiring problem, either should be easy and inexpensive to fix. Unless you know they were recently changed, I would also replace all filters and fluids. The "engine rebuilt" comment is cause for concern; what, exactly, did they rebuild?. How many hours are on this thing? These engines should last for thousands of hours unless abused (overheated, oil not changed, filters missing or not changed, etc) or something broke.

Many of my neighbors have multiple tractors so they don't need to change attachments all the time. They just crank up the machine that already has the required attachment.

yea my plan is to change all fluids .. Not sure about hours .. tach is not working .. .. I was told a reputable tractor man built engine.It doesn't appear to be miss treated . Guy that owned it had plenty of money. Not sure why he bought it .. LOL He has 3 big J D's at his farm. He was good friends with a buddy of mine. His wife is selling off all his stuff as she has no need for it . Its a a 2003 if I read serial correctly. Loader is a KL 1210 // HOE IS A KB 2345 It really seems to be a well built tractor. I understand the custom fit part .. I will have to fabricate some new brackets and possibly spread the frame mount. If I decide to swap this stuff over to my Kubota. I am pretty lucky on that part as I own a few welders and can burn a rod pretty good . I need to get me a manual for it.
