I'm considering this UTV (or, depending on your opinion, glorified golf cart). For $13,999, it looks pretty decent however. https://www.kandiamerica.com/product/cowboy-e10k/ Apparently these are sold through Lowes stores. This particular model is not shown on the Lowes website however. My...

Interesting, thank you.

Land Pride RCR 1860 rotary cutter. Why is there a small hex socket INSIDE the larger hex socket on the gear box oil drain plug?

Yes

My TC33DA hour meter has stopped working. Everything else in the instrument cluster works, including the tachometer. I've read some other posts here where both the tachometer AND the hour meter have failed, caused by alternator AC voltage, electrical connection, or other issues, but that is...

The owners manual for my TC33DA recommends checking and adjusting the fuel injectors and valve clearance at 600 hours. Are these involved procedures? About how many hours of labor should a dealer charge me to perform these maintenance services?

The hydraulic press was able to straighten my arms. No heat was used. I repainted them and will re-install once the paint is dry - just in time for the next snowfall forecast for Thursday. For those who asked how I bent them, I was snow blowing, and hit a buried stump. Amazingly, the snow...

Thanks for all the replies, and confirming that there's not supposed to be any bend in the arms (except at the very ends). Next week, I plan to take my arms to a place with a hydraulic press, and see what can be done.

OK, thanks. Then I must have slightly bent the other lift arm as well :(.

I hit a stump and bent the left side 3 point hitch arm on my TC33DA :(. Photos attached. I seem to recall that it originally had a slight bend in it, but perhaps not? The right arm does have a slight bend. I'm looking for either photos or a description of what is a "normal" bend, if any...

I need to drill out and replace a broken grease zerk on the rear wheel for my rotary cutter. I can't drill straight into the zerk with the laminated tire on the split rim, so I thought that I could simply unbolt and separate the two rim sides from the tire. With the tire out of the way, I...

Update: The lower radiator hose connection was more than dented. It had a leak. So, I took it to a local radiator shop. They did a nice job of repairing it. They also flushed, pressure tested, and even painted it for me. All for far less than the cost of a new radiator. The radiator is...

That sounds like a great idea. My first attempt at this didn't work however, even though I had a pretty thin O-ring. I may keep trying. What I'd really like to know however is if I have the old or new style dipstick. I see in the parts diagram that a substitution to the dipstick was made at...

This video shows what the cap does with the engine just idling and the tractor not moving: https://www.dropbox.com/s/a8wlhmu9yv6oq62/IMG_7502.MOV?dl=0

I've notice that my power steering fluid reservoir cap/dipstick is loose, like REALLY loose. I'm afraid it's going to bounce out and get lost. I don't remember it being this loose in the past, and it certainly shouldn't be worn out. It's not like I'm removing it every day. Do they shrink...
