Kioti parts...

Hi Folks,
Where is the best (cheapest) place to order good quality parts on-line for a Mechron? I prefer factroy parts.
Thanks

i have gotten them from my dealer but have not had to buy anything of consequince yet. What were you needing? Also i and my friend both noticed a bit of belt squeel this last weekend from our mechrons, and were a bit worried about that. I also saw the gator diesel for the military rated at 38 mph and it is a diesel with 2 speed much like ours. Wish mine went just a bit faster on a few occasions. I added a heater to mine last winter and it looks almost factory was about 250 bucks but went in fairly easy.

Hi DrRick,
I don't need much, a couple of oil filters, bed rails for the dump bed and the rear screen for the roll cage. I can get them from my dealer for $400 or so but I was thinking about down the road, when somethig big breaks, assuming that it will.
My Mechron has proven to be very handy. I only have 13 acres and most of that is wooded but it was most helpful clearing trees after the hurricane we had last fall. We lost 4 big poplars, 1 maple and a sweet gum during that storm. The largest one went down and took the others out like dominoes. It cleared out a 200 yard path through the woods. Amazing! and t made a great shooting range. It took about 2 months to cut and split the wood but I have PLENTY of fire wood now. Too bad most of it is poplar.
The Mechron seems to be bullet proof (knock on wood). I haven't had any problems since I fixed the dragging emergency brake when I took delievery and I seem to find a use for it nearly every day. I've only put 50 hours on it in the 6 months that I've had it. I'm very happy with it.
I don't really have any opportunity to go any distance so the 25 mph that mine goes is plenty fast. I wish I had a large Nat'l Forset to run around in. That would be a blast and I could see a little more speed would be desirable there. The suspension on these things is great, lots of travel and a plush ride. As I said, Im very happy with mine.
Let me know what you find out about your belt.

DrRick... Can you add some details about the heater you added? I've got 65 hrs. on my Mechron and it's running just fine. I had the dealer do an engine oil change when he fixed the differential vents. That factory mod resulted in a gear lube change. I haven't needed any other parts or service.

Since you posted this question twice I'll post my response twice I don't think you can buy Kioti parts online. Well... you can always find a dealer online and have parts shipped to you but I don't know of a "web store" where you can buy parts. If you find one let me know

Parts for all KIOTI equipment can be ordered on-line though our on-line parts cart.

i bought a universal type heater and i place it under the dash with a piece of strap holding it up ( under the hood is where i supported it ) i will get some pics as soon as i get back to ranch . It really looks factory and works pretty well . I used the line to the cig lighter for power. It has a 2 speed fan and is not obtrusive to the middle seat passenger. It suggested a simple t fitting into the radiator hoses, however I placed a t at the engine bypass outlet in order to get faster warmup. The pics will explain much more clearly.
