When mine failed and I had the pump rebuilt last year, I took a hacksaw and cut the plunger off of the solenoid. Then I put it back in and left it unplugged. I shut the tractor off with a string attached to the manual shut off. Only problem with the whole set up is that I have forgotten to turn...

I have a Bush Hog Mower SQ 480. I need to replace the stump jumper. The Bush Hog part is in the $450-500 range. I see some generic stump jumpers in the $95-160 range. Does anyone know if these will work (assuming shaft size and hole placement line up). If they will are there any recommendations...

Yes, a log arch is what I really meant. The trailer with the grapple is way more than I will ever need. So the logrite is a good one? As mentioned above, I don't want a cheap one that is more hassle than it is worth. I think it will be easier on the tractor, the trails and they will have less...

I'm not doing a lot, but I can see myself doing it often enough to have a rig to help me.

It isn't hard on the tractor it is hard on the wagon itself. I have to pick them up with the bucket and essentially dump them onto the wagon. Also, I did pick up one that was too large and now have a blown/leaky cylinder seal on the FEL. I suspect it was from moving that log.

I know that this a long time in replying. After reading your posts, I went out and shook the tractor. This apparently "burped" the radiator. I put more coolant in and it has worked fine since then. I might have a small leak somewhere as I have had to top it off twice, but I haven't found a leak...

I have 20 acres of woodlot about 1/2 mile out back of my property and I have a Kioti CK 30 HST. I would like to skid some logs out to the house. I have looked at the 3 pt hitch skidders and ATV skidders. I like the idea of the ATV skidders that lift the log onto a trailer type rig. Does anyone...

Didn't know I was supposed to used distilled water. Is that the case any tiime you put water in a cooling system?

Yes the tractor has been used daily since the rediator was put in. I used tap water not distilled water. That was 2 months ago. Is it possible that there is air trapped in it now?

This summer I had to repair the radiator in my Ck 30 HST. When I put it back together, I just put in water because I wanted to make sure that there were no leaks. Its getting cold soon, so tonight I drained the water and put in pre mixed antifreeze. I started the tractor and let it run for a fwe...

Thanks. I took the pump off as the local repair main has been extremely busy. It was stuck. The manual shut off cover was stuck and could not be removed, so I had some issues getting it out. the manual cover can now come out. I know tht there is a plastic sleeve in there was concerned if it is...

Big thanks to the pump guy for the rebuild and fast turn around. I had hoped to get a local repair guy to help me put everything back together. He hasnt called back. I'm not a mechanic, but is there any reason I can't put this back together myself?

In regards to the manual shut off, I was refering to fixing the pump and then hooking up a manual cable. Will that work, or am I better of fjust replacing he solenoid?

No stick. It was way tooamped up. Found a Kioti thread that outlines fuel pump problems with this brand and year. Sounds like the injector pump is stuck open. Where do I find the name of the company that rebuilds the pumps?

I have a 2006 CK 30 HST. It looks like this has happened to me. Yesterday the tractor reved up and would not shut down. Had to use the shut off on the fuel filter. 1. Once this has been rebuilt, does it generally fix the problem and prevent it from happening again? 2. Why can't we use the...
