I need one too, same tractor, ck27. Does anyone know if Kioti's typically take a universal bolt pattern?

That's a great idea. I do a lot of automotive wiring and usually use zip cord and flex-loom but a majority of the wiring I've done on projects is inside the vehicle. Outside runs are usually big gauge wire for aux batteries, etc. That's a pretty great idea for LED aux light wiring and you...

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help. I'll be working this little tractor a lot over the holidays moving 8' tree sections out of the woods clearing Helene damage. I'm betting more than anything it just needs to be run and worked a bit. There is a lot of evidence, other than the old dates on the...

The oil was not the original. Both oil and hydro filter were marked April 2015. That is not good news, generally speaking, but it doesn't really mean a lot if I don't know how many hours ago that was so I didn't bother sharing. I'm working with it actively today and putting some pretty good...

Now that I've seen some smoke I will definitely change to T6 next oil change but I really didn't think it mattered on an old small basic pre-emissions diesel tractor. Thats kind of why I posted this. Not sure what normal is for these yet. I generally run semi-synthetic, usually Rural King's...

Sorry, blueish smoke. Good old oil burning kind of smoke, and smell. Of course, I didn't mention all the service but I did almost a full service. Engine oil and filter, air filter, coolant flush, fuel filter, hydraulic filter (fluid is totally clear and was full), full grease on chassis and...

Thank you, I hadn't thought to look at TractorData for that. In fact since I bought my tractor and stopped shopping I haven't looked at any specs on there. I don't think this little guy would rev to 2600 if you wanted it to.

I hope you are correct. I honestly have no idea what high RPM's would be for this engine either. The tach goes to what, 3500? and it has no markers.

New-to-me Kioti CK27 with just over 600 hours. This is my first tractor but I'm not at all new to engines or diesels, most of my diesel ownership has been with newer commercial and personal vehicles. I recently bought and fully serviced the tractor with Rotella T4. I also flushed and filled...

New here, new to me tractor. Kioti CK 27. I'm pretty blown away by my $37 Nilight 3 light combo I installed last weekend. It's getting dark about 4:30 in my valley in the winter and I'm just getting warmed up usually by then. I'm sharing this because it's a great value and taylor made for a...
