Problem DK35 overheating, changed fan belt, new thermostat. When releasing pressure cap, fluid flows into resinous but not when cap is on. Will get a new cap this week but this one is only a couple years old. Any other ideas??

The warning light on my Kioti came on, looked at the owners manuel and it said oil may be too hot or the system may have a restriction. Changed the the filter and the light went out for about a few hundered yards. Oil was cold as it had not been used for a day or two. Question is if there is a...

I just got a recall notice form Ford for the gas tank straps on my F150. It said they could corrode and break resulting in the gas tank falling on the ground. Well, it's a little late for that it already happened in June of last year. I'm on the ramp to get on the freeway and all of a sudden...

I have a Huskvarna GTH 2548 that is about 6 years old with about 250 hours on the unit. Last weekend while I was mowing the thing suddenly shut off while in the middle of the lawn. It will start with the clutch depressed but dies as soon as I let the clutch our. If I leave the clutch...

Just an update on the post of a week ago regarding a lack of power in my DK35. I looked at what was necessary to take off the fuel tank and it was a daunting challenge, so I decided I needed to find a better way. I drained the tank and took the fuel gage out of the tank and with a very small...

I have a DK35 with about 1200 hours on it. Last winter it suddenly lost power and while it would run, it would not operate the snow blower . Later it wouldn't even start. We tried draining the fuel tank thinking that maybe we had some bad fuel. We drained it several times and suddenly it...

I just got a call from my son who is out at our farm. My Dk35 was running and working and all of a sudden it lost power. It would start and run but it if you give it any throttle nothing happens. It now will start but the idle fluxuates from 1000rpm down to about 500 rpm and runs real rough...

I just got a call from the neighbor that the Electric company replaced the transformer that services his place and mine. I took a ride out this morning to check that all was "OK". I found out that the furnace was not working. I checked the breaker and it was not tripped. I turned off the...

Location???? upstate NY is a very large area.

I planted about 3/4 acre of pumpkins this year for pig feed in the same area that was planted with pumpkins last year. Last year I had over 100 pumpkins from this patch. This year we had so much rain that I was only able to cultivate once early in the summer and then the rain took over. We've...

After not being able to start my 8N, I let it sit for a little over a year. I then checked the compression and had anywhere from 30 to 50 PSI so I decided it was time for a rebuild. Yesterday after we removed the engine my youngest son disassembled it. I found the bearings in great...

Well I got the grandsons out this weekend to help plant. We had 80 Blue berry bushes and 100 Raspberries to plant. After we doug holes for the 80 blue berries and had them planted we got some lunch. As we were going out to plant 100 raspberry bushes I thought lets try the middle buster plow...

I can't figure what is happening but lately when I read a long thread and go back to the start pr try to add a comment I get a message that I'm not logged in and have to go back to log in again and loose the comment I just typed.

I was using the log splitter a few days ago and I was doing it by myself. Usually my grandson helps by standing across from me and when the log is first split he puts the back half on the frame until I get the front half split, then sets it on the bed and we split that. Like most splitters you...

Well the dreaded Emerald Ash Borer has been found just about 8 miles from my place. The State has restricted the transport of wood from this county and the adjoining county. I can understand some restrictions but this one makes no sense. No Ash can be move out of these 2 counties, saw logs...
