I got this and the tractor stalled when I ran out of diesel. Hot day going up hill. Would not turn over but I think I forgot to press the brake pedal. Added 5 gallons the next day, battery at 12.5 volts. Turned over and I had to crank it a few times before the engine caught.

If it won't turn over and the battery shows charged, check your safety switches. Brake pedal has to be depressed, PTO off, butt in seat, whatever... I had a Duh! senility occurrence: My RK37HC suddenly stopped while bush hogging up hill. When I tried to restart it turned over but did not...

I realize this is an old post but I also need a 1.5" ID to 2" OD x 4" long post hole gear box to auger adapter. After a painful search I found that the phrase "2” OD X 1/4” Wall DOM Steel Tube" or "DOM Steel Tube: 2" OD x .250 Wall Tubing" brings up such tubes in Amazon and Ebay. You have to...

That is way beyond my skill set, though an interesting idea if nothing else works. They use packing on boat propeller shafts, but it has to be adjusted regularly and this does not have that option.

The place I bought it from is long gone. I am going to try the grease rout for now and make the seal search a winter project. I think Granger may have a match. I've also wondered about using one of those "stop oil leak" products they sell for cars but I think it would only be a temporary...

Didn't have a name to search on and a number is meaningless to google... but... turns out the "via Guido Rosse 10..." is an address that Google maps can find in Italy and street view shows me Comer Industries. Turns out they make tractor and heavy machinery shafts and gearboxes and other...

How can I tell what seal to order for my 3 point post hole auger gear box? The only name or number on the gear box is in white paint "20430" and the plastic drive shaft guard says "via Guido Rosse 10 Pegognanga (MN) Italy". I bought it somewhat new 28 years ago ($250 :) but when I wore out...

I took out over 1.5 gallons to just get a sliver of silver in the sight glass. For anyone looking for the dye, it is KINGSCOTE Dye Tracer Liquid: Red, 4 oz Container. Add to oil before pouring into tractor if you can. Otherwise, add some then wait a day for it to spread.

I just did a fluid change (100 hrs.) and I had to add red dye to make the hydraulic fluid visible. I had overfilled it and had to syphon some out. Now I am a little confused - with loader and 3pt arms up I have nothing in the sight glass. With them down the sight glass shows full with just a...

I hope you got the level right. I had to add red dye to make it visible and I had overfilled it and had to syphon some out. Now I am a little confused - with loader and 3pt arms up I have nothing in the sight glass. With them down the sight glass shows full with just a sliver of no ink at the...

Just saw your question - I have the Bora spacers on both sides. The picture was taken during installation for the purpose of showing how the offset looks after one wheel was done, Bora side vs. original. All the pictures were within a day or two of each other but it snowed. :) The chain is...

I found my strainer (RK37HC) behind that pipe. Unfortunately to get it out you have to not only remove the pipe but also remove the subframe for the loader. Yup, the loader subframe is in the way. I got mine about 3/5 of the way out but left it hanging while I sprayed it with some diesel. It...

The RK37HC front axle also needs to have oil added after driving it for a little while after a service. I thought I had a leak when I checked at the 10 Hr. lube service and it was very low - I added a quart. At the 100 hr. (annual) service it was still at the correct level. The manual says it...

You might try the A/C recharge cans they sell at WalMart. Some come with a dial though you might want to buy the slightly better hose/connector/dial and just buy the cheaper cans with sealer. I recommend one can with oil if your tractor is a bit older then focus on sealer or just plain...
