    PTO blowing fuse

    After hitting a stump with the brush hog, the PTO on my DK 45 quit. Found a blown fuse, but upon replacement the fuse blows after 2-3 seconds when the PTO is turned on. Any ideas what to check and where to look? Thanks in advance. George

    Price Check  What's a 1953 Ford Golden Jubilee Worth?

    Trying to get some idea what this tractor might be worth. This tractor has not run in about 8 years. Needed a carb, but decided to upgrade rather than fix. Have a potential buyer who looking to combine parts from this one with one he owns to get a working tractor. Except for carb, everything was...

    Tiller  Will a 9n ford handle a 5 foot tiller

    Been doing some tilling for my cousin this spring. He is wanting to get his own tiller to put behind his 9n. Looking at a KK 60". I am not sure that the 9n has enough power for this. Anyone using a similar setup? Would hate for him to plunk down the greenbucks for something he can't use...

    DK45 a bear to get in and out of FWD

    I have had my DK45 a little over a year now, and it is always a bear to get in and out of FWD. I have looked and looked for a lube spot that I might have missed. I have tried taking the tractor out of gear, rolling forward, backward, rocking forward and backward, making sure the front wheels are...

    Cold weather startup ?

    When I bought my DK45 last spring cold weather was all but over. We have had some cold mornings the last few days with temps in the upper 20's to low 30's. When the tractor first starts, Whiteish-blue smoke comes out of the exhaust for a few seconds and the engine seems to be missing. After...

    ATV Trailer?

    My son just bought a Suzuki Vinson Quad Runner(500cc class) and is now looking for a trailer. What he would like is something that he can haul his ATV on and also be able to pull behind the ATV to haul brush, firewood, etc., around the farm. Is this asking for too much? Seems like most of the...

    Removing Loader from DK45 for the first time

    Decided to remove my loader for the first time today. Usually I just remove the bucket. Will be mowing in an unfamiliar area tomorrow so wanted as much visibility as possible. Took only about a half hour. Only hold up was that I could get one pin loose but the other was tight. Finally took...

    Hot Hydraulic Oil ?

    It's hot here in Texas. Mid to upper 90's. Have been doing some mowing, a couple of hours at a time. Nothing real heavy. When I got finished, I was brushing some grass off the transaxle and noticed it was extremely hot. My son put the BH on yesterday to dig a trench and the oil got extremely...

    A month already

    Hard to believe that I have had my DK45 a month already. Already have almost 40 hours on it, mostly BH and Tiller work. So far I am as tickled as a new baby in a pile of feathers. Still trying to figure out how to get pictures posted. No experience with digital cameras and pretty much computer...

    Is this in the ballpark?

    Have a quote on a DK45, 1590 FEL, KB2385 back hoe, KI09 73" Tiller and a Modern 6ft galvanized box blade for $28,695. Have enjoyed TBN the last few weeks. It has been more than helpful. Thanks for your feedback. George
