I don't have a clutch on my hydrostatic but bumping between fwd/rev didn't work this time until after probably 20 - 25 minutes of messing with it. This time was probably the worst I've had with it. I only posted this to let others that had then same thought as me that with time it'll get...
It's been about 20 months since my last post above and I've put about 60 additional hours on my tractor. I can't see much improvement in moving the range selector level over this time. A few days ago I drove my tractor to the gas station to fuel it up before pulling a trailer with 3 rolls of...
Allstar45, I have the RK37HC made by TYM. It has the same issue even though it's hydrostatic. I have 240 hours on mine and thought it would get better with wear but it hasn't. I use medium range 95% of the time but do use high if driving on the road to the gas station or just riding around the...
I know most folks on here say they wouldn't buy a tractor from Rural King but for those that would you might find this interesting. I received a sale flier from RK by email today and noticed that they have a small add that says end of year sale of 10% off all models of tractors. I went to their...
Ryan, I bought my RK37HC back in 2018 and it has always had a slight creep when stopped on a hard surface. I asked the mechanic about it and he said it was a simple adjustment. I just used the parking brake and never worried about it but I did drive away a couple times with the brake on until I...
I ordered the hydraulic line last Friday the 25th. The guy ordering it said that of it was in stock it would take about a week to get it but if it had to come from Korea he had no way of even guessing. Evidently it was in stock because I got a call yesterday afternoon that the part was in...
I think the mystery is solved. My neighbor was over helping me top some very large trees that had snapped over during the hurricane. Mentioning it to him he said maybe a second set of eyes would help. He crawled under the tractor while i pressed on the pedal with my hand. A couple minutes...
I took a few minutes this afternoon and crawled back under the tractor. Taking pics wouldn't do much good because there are steel hydraulic lines and so forth running through the same area. it would be hard to tell what parts are trans linkage. TractorTYMe, it's not an issue with hydraulic...
I'll see if I can get to the tractor sometime today for pics. It's stuck in the pasture since I don't have forward. Clean up around the house from hurricane Milton is taking priority. At 77 I don't move quite as fast as I use to. I don't have cruise control.
Thanks guys for the responses......
Thanks for the reply ptsg. This afternoon I crawled under the tractor again and with more light than I had yesterday I see that the pedal linkage does in fact have a linkage rod that moves another lever that appears to go into the transmission. I can reach the pedals with my hand by just...
I'm posting this here since TYM makes tractors for numerous brands. I have a RK37HSC that the forward pedal won't move. Yesterday I was using the grapple to clean up some branches and limbs left in my pasture by hurricane Milton. I moved a couple piles and on the last batch I moved I dumped...
I quite a few friends in Tally since I retired from the FL Dept of Health in August 2020. I was assigned to the IT dept in Polk County. Of those I called last Friday that had lost power they had it back within 24 hours. Torvy is correct in that RK's are just rebadged TYM's and that area might...
I'm sorry nobody with a RK55 has commented but if you don't mind I will comment on my thoughts of the RK in general along with my experience with my RK37. You gave no location as to your location but I hope your area fared well with Helene because that was a massive storm. Is this new RK a new...
A couple years ago I bought the factory kit for my RK37 which was built bu TYM. The kit even had a TYM part number on it. As ptsg said the install was more or less hassle free due to the hydraulic lines being precut to correct lengths. Very neat install. Mine is a cabbed model so removing the...
