You bring back great memories...I also got a fanned 50...didn't get much better than that.

Problem with 4wd shift lever. Stuck in 4wd but shifter moves with no resistance. Any ideas. (2008 CK27 manual trans)

Merry Christmas from balmy Northern New York. 40 degrees going to 45....kinda cool after yesterday's lower 60s.

Must be related to my dog! 30 degrees and overcast, forecast to about 40 at our place about 50 miles south of Canada border in NorthernNY. Recent temps well above average with no measurable snow to date...latest without snow in many years. Not complaining, still working in my woods getting...

I've been reading this thread for quite a while. Time to finally post...thanks for the good laugh today. I have a few sheep and a couple of dogs. Not sure my dogs are that smart! 30s going into 40s today with clearing skies. Not much sun lately so it will be welcome. Loren

Lake effect snow and 16 degrees. Over 6 inches in past couple hours and a little over a foot since yesterday. Nothing compared to 25 miles north or the Buffalo area. (I'm east of Lake Ontario near Watertown, NY) Loren

Hope you have a great 43rd anniversary Dave! Tomorrow is my 65th birthday and I was married at 21 also. We celebrated 43 years of marital bliss last September and honeymooned in Maine....Boothbay Harbor area for a few days. Loren

My brother's 300 dtc has a shuttle shift problem. It is stuck between gears - will not engage forward at all but will move in reverse by holding handle back but is clearly only partially engaging. Any ideas? Thanks, Loren

I recently had a problem with my loader control valve on my 3 year old Kioti CK27. I sent a PM to Rick Wallace (Wallace Tractor and Equipment) and promptly received a helpful response. After receiving suggestions from his parts man Don, I was able to resolve the problem. I will now include...

This is my first timber frame - summer 2009 - replaced the shed on back of garage so that the new tractor would fit. I wanted to store with roll bar in position - I reused the rafters, roof boards and metal. The timbers were cut from the woodlot and sawed by a band saw on site. Some of the...

This was my summer project - cut hemlock logs from the woodlot - sawed with a friends band saw - did most of mortise and tenon work in the garage - wife and I raised the 3 bents and joists - had a mini-barn raising to put 6x7 inch rafters and main 6"x6"x12ft timbers along with dovetailed...

On a recent visit to my brother we noticed a loose bolt on the loader mount. On closer inspection we found it was very close to becoming a major problem (damage wise and possible injury) There were 3 missing bolts and 8 were sheared off. Not much left holding. We were able to make the repair...

Interesting information about source of quality Stainless Steel - quote from person who attended a boating seminar. Now I wonder where the best quality steel comes from. The instructor was discussing the inspection, possibility of failure and replacement of sailboat rigging: "Worst...

My new Kioti CK27 w/loader was delivered to my garage yesterday. :) My brother-in-law picked it up for me as I am currently in the Florida Keys on a small sailboat. Now I'm anxsious to get home so I can use it. (It was -20 there this morning compared to about 70 here so I may take a little...
