I am having an issue with my '99 LK3054 that I'm hoping someone here will be familiar with. There is a bit of a back story. The tractor developed a leak between the rear of the transmission and the rear-end casting. I split the tractor and repaired the leak with a form a gasket product, leak...

Hello all, It's been a long time since I was here last, but I still have and use almost daily my '98 LK3054. Here is my problem, while backing up the other day and not looking where I was going I ran into an embankment and bent one of the lift arms. I need to find one to replace it and just...

I just found that the wires that connect to the rear of the alternator via the four connector plug have been ripped or chewed out of the connector. I have a manual but the wire colors/numbers do not match with the schematic. The plug has places for four separate connections but it appears as...

Title sort of says it all. I had ordered the few parts I needed over the years from Jon DePratt. However I just received an email from DePratt Equipment in response to an inquiry stating that they no longer sell Kioti parts. I am truly bummed over this, Jon treated me great. Anyway now I...

Hi guys, Anyone have a good (cheap) place to find control valves? I need a simple DA single spool valve with power beyond. Surplus Center has them but they want $265 for one! Looked on eBay and nothing is presently up for auction. Thanks, Phil

Hi All, I know there is a site on the web that you can post a request for a transporter to haul something for you from somewhere. I can’t seem to find it. Anyone know what the URL is? Also is anyone on TBN looking for a ride from Connecticut to the west coast? I’m looking at a truck on eBay...

Hey All. I was given a wood splitter that I assumed was the typical hydraulic drive when I first glanced at. I got it home and pulled some of the guards off and discovered that it’s a screw drive. I’ve never seen a screw drive of this size and can not find anything about them on the internet...

This is a little off topic, but I need some advise on a paint/coating for a project of mine. I’m build new kennels and the materials are galvanized pipe and untreated “hog wire” type fencing. It is all welded together and I would like to paint/coat everything. Ideally one coat is preferred, I...

Does anyone have a good source for cheap PTO shafts other than the usual like Northern Hydraulics and Surplus Center?

I posted this in the Kubota forum and received no replies, maybe someone here can help. This is a bit off subject as these are not in a tractor but I’m hoping someone can help. I would like to find some manuals on the EL300 series engines. I’ve searched the web and eBay but nothing seems to be...

Thought I’d show my latest project. Picked up the hoe at auction for $2200 with a sub-frame. It is in good shape, all the pins are tight, just needs a new seat and so far one slightly leaky valve. The adaptation was fairly easy, I added a couple of cross-members to the sub-frame and bolt it...

Jon, You have said in the past that the older LK3054s should run a backhoe attachment with a PTO pump do to the lower volume of the tractor’s pump. I’m wondering that if I have to buy a pump anyway, can the newer pumps fit onto an older (’99 or 2000) tractor? The next question of course would...

Does anyone know who makes this hoe for Deere? I just picked one up used and I will either need to adapt the sub frame on it or purchase one for my Kioti (if it’s available).

It is a very good thing that DePratt Equip. has my credit card info. on file! I apparently managed to bend one of my front wheels at the lug bolts. I did not actually witness the incident but it had to be during the transportation of a large log on the loader. Now it runs out about 1.5”...

Hi All, Need a little help, perhaps from some of the dealers here. 2000 LK3054 with 141hrs. Loading some dirt today and the RPM gauge just quit. Do these use a cable or are they electronic? Is this a common problem? Anyone else had this happen? Any idea what the fix will be? Thanks, Phil...

Hello, After reading these forums for several months I’ve finally found the right unit. I just picked up a 2000 LK3054 with a KL128 FEL. The tractor had 94 hrs. on it and came with a 66" grader blade, and box scraper. I love the thing! Unbelievable power for its size. I actually traded down...
