I've recently purchased 1962 Farmall 560 diesel that had been sitting for about 15 years. A buddy of mine came over and was able to get it to fire up. He then changed all of the fluids, the water pump, alternator, glow plugs, belts etc....and it's running great! Today, I've noticed that when I...

I've recently acquired this tractor that sat for well over 10 years in a carport. Put in a new battery, fresh fuel, rebuilt carb, complete tune up, replace hydraulic fluid and got it running. We had a slow leak of fluid near the rear axle but after losing maybe 3 quarts (over 2 week period), it...

I've been brush hogging some heavy stuff and in the past two months, I've knocked off the fuel filter housing and needed to replace. Both times, I was able to shove a stick into the hose to keep the fuel from falling onto the ground until I could get back to get my fuel can, and then let the...

Does anyone have the PN for this?? I can't seem to locate it anywhere. Thanks in advance.... Dave Pittsburgh, PA

I had posted on a different part of this board and was advised to bring it here for additional suggestions. I have a Kioti 1450 front loader on my DK 35. The front loader worked fine for only about the first 20 hours and then began to act up. I can use all the hydraulics but when I go to lower...

I had posted this a few months back but since I have basically only been using my tractor for mowing, I kinda let it go for awhile. I have a Kioti 1450 front loader on my DK 35. The front loader worked fine for only about the first 20 hours and then began to act up. I can use all the hydraulics...

Well, I'm nearing my 50 hour checkup and need to find a big, thick manual that assists in doing the maintenance and some minor repairs...anyone know where I can purchase and how much? About my front loader problem, my dealer is mailing to me a new hydraulic hose as he feels it's defective and...

I have about 38 hours on my new tractor and while using the front loader (KL1450) the unit began to act up. I can lift it but when I go to let it down, it begins to make the noise that you get when you have too much weight on it to lift and it won't go down. Even after shutting it down, the...

I just purchased my DK 35 and had it delivered yesterday. Everything was fine although when I would go from high to low range, I had to sorta play with the clutch to get it to go into Low. Well, today it won't even go into low no matter what I do. I have a call into the dealer but no return...

I have a 2003 Polaris Sportsman 700 that only has 84 miles on it. I've used it only for working...skidding logs, hauling a trialer full of wood, plowing snow....It now runs like 'crap'! It has no power at all and the flashing light on the speedometer tells me that it's over heating within a few...

I'm new to this board...heck, I'm new to owning some acreage and need a tractor. I've read over many posts and have found (or so I believe) that the most economical choice for me would be the DK 35. I'm in western PA and would like to know if anyone has ideas of pricing and any other general...
