    Update-Second time around with Keyed Ignition Switch issue on my CK30

    I had a similar problem with my CK20. Turned out to be a corroded pin in a connector on the hot from the battery to the ignition switch. It was intermittent until it corroded so bad it couldn’t carry any current. But it would light a test light at the ignition switch. About drove me nuts. Check...

    I am trying to build my own boxed in type trailer with a lear loader on the front of it blowing into the trailer so I can drive around and vacum up the piles of leaves around the yard. Have done pretty well coming up with stuff except for the actual blower assy. Does anyone have any idea where I...

    hst oil cooler ?

    My 4yr old ck20hst had the oil cooler fail on startup a week back. Bought a new one and was back in business shortly thanks to a well stocked dealer down the road. But had a question for the experts. When I start the tractor I always let the clutch lever up right after startup. The clutch pedal...

    adding hst fluid?

    on my ck20hst its a pain to add utf. Is there a better way than a funnel and the jug? Surely someone on here has come up with a neato way to add oil. The **** filler tube and loader joystick just don't allow a good fit of the jugs I have around here. I am sure somebody has a tip!!!

    Backhoe  welding backhoe to subframe bolts???

    have any of you guys welded the bolts that tie the subframe to the hoe? I keep mine tight but the hoe still moves around quite a bit on the subframe. And if you did weld, would you mind giving me a little detail on what exactly you welded, such as just the bolts themselves or did you make...

    Is five hours alot for one stump???

    I won! Quite a workout for me and the CK20 but that bugger is finally out of the ground. Not sure how I am going to get it to my dump area, as I don't think I will be able to lift it with the loader, but I'll figure something out. All the roots were cut with the backhoe, just catching the...

    Hydrostatic fluid question?

    sorry guys for another fluid question, but, bought some Carquest 303 Tractor fluid, part number 770-05. Counter guys insisted this is what I need for my HST ck20. It does say ok for wet brakes and systems where the hydraulic oil is common to the rear drive and list a bunch of MFG's but not Kioti...
