    RK37 AC

    Anyone else find the AC only blew cold on the first use? Worked good day1 but it's hot air now. When I put it on vent without AC the air is hotter than the air outside. I removed the 2 metal filters in front of the radiators and blew them out but it didnt help much.

    Backhoe and tow bar

    Just getting around to this and it may be a question for RK tractor guy. I purchased the backhoe for my RK37 and put it on myself. You cant really do it wrong but the factory hitch bar no longer fits after the modifications. It wont go in all the way due to hitting the existing bolts not newly...

    Pressure relief

    Do they make something to releive the pressure from a disconnected hydro line? Mine is taking a beating from me trying to releive the built up pressure every time it is disconnected on the Male implement side. Seems like something that would be manufactured to resolve that.

    RK37 backhoe removal

    Any ideas on how to prevent the backhoe mount from tipping up when not installed? It uses 3 points to remove and stand but as you know hydro leaks off over time which makes it sink forward. The back/mount rails are now way too high to drive over to hook up normally. I found I can back up...

    Belt for RK37

    Anyone know the belt specifications? Here is the part# t253O902c Google was of no help. I like options so I would like to know the specs of the belt itself. I like to have choices and do my part in keeping pricing competitive :)

    Carrying Tools

    Yes, actually I posted this pic in a different thread. PVC Wont fit without severely reducing the usefulness. Electrical conduit will fit a bit better as another pointed out but still reducing the already limited size. To make it more useful by using the conduit I would need several pockets...

    Carrying Tools

    Anyone have any great ideas on how to carry a few tools on an RK37 with cab without using the bucket or 3 point? I have a carryall for big stuff but I would like to keep just a few tools handy all the time without relying on the FEL or 3 point.

    RK37 Part #'s and approved/recommended fluids or self service tips

    Apparently having plentiful and sizable metal shavings at your first 50 hour Hydro change is normal for tractors. They apparently dont clean up the metal shavings from the required drilling. Since many of us are new and may not know this, sharing here. You can see the grooves from the drilling

    RK37 Part #'s and approved/recommended fluids or self service tips

    Placeholder for any part #'s, fluids or self service tips related to the RK37 for those of us who self service. Having part #'s easy to find is an obvious benefit but also many if us are first time tractor/diesel owners so I wanted to include service tips

    Backhoe operation - tractor tires off the ground, only the rear, only the front, NONE

    Looking for some to weigh in on this. I am a new backhoe owner/operator on RK37. I was digging for how to safely operate and I found various answers. The first video I found was a military training video which states to use the bucket to contact the ground but DO NOT lift the front end off the...

    RK37 Coolant drain valve location

    I can't seem to find the valve to drain the coolant. I checked the visible low points on and around the radiator and coolant lines. The manual references it and the drawing looks to indicate it's at the bottom of the radiator but I just dont see it. Also what type of coolant goes in? My...
