The odyssey is over. Week and a half ago I ordered a controller from another Maine dealer. They didn't have it in stock but said Kioti did. Finally got it late yesterday and installed it this morning. 42 degrees out and started instantly. Back to normal.
Time for an update. Part arrived Monday. Not what I ordered. I ordered a preheat controller and got a safety unit, Started Ebay return process and very shortly had a return authorization and a shipping label. I called Perry Power and explained that I still want the preheat controller. They...
An update. I did one more test to eliminate any possible wire issues. I jumpered from preheat controller voltage output to glow plug relay. Still did not activate relay. It all points to the preheat controller. I have ordered one and should have it early next week.

Thank you for your response. My problem is no power is getting to the glow plugs. The relay that would supply the power has a large voltage drop at the coil that would close the relay. That voltage comes from the preheat controller. This is all activated by the key switch. Quick and...
Below freezing here in the mornings now. It now takes about about 30 to 40 seconds of cranking to start my DK. It usually takes a second a two after preheat. Smoke is coming out the exhaust as I crank. I can hear the usual relays close going into preheat. Runs completely normal after start up...
I am in the process of getting a root rake. I have already turned my curl brackets into pretzels prying boulders out of the ground with forks. This is a good heads up be careful of.
Nice neat installation. This is how I mounted my QD's for a snow plow. Originally I did not have a cross over relief and just used a piece of angle iron for just the QD's. I used the hydraulic tube bracket bolts on the FEL.
This post will get people talking. A couple of years ago I turned my curl brackets on my DK45 into pretzels. The brackets are made out of 3/8" plate with the ends doubled to provide pin bearing surface. Local dealer a couple hours away wanted about $85/ea plus shipping and figured a couple weeks...
Welcome to TBN. I welded a small piece of flat bar on the front side of the rops and mounted these on a DK45. I did drill and run the wires internal of the rops.
I need to eat crow. Awhile back I converted an old Fisher plow to QA. I extended rear remotes to front of FEL and used QD's for connecting to angle cylinders. I did not use a cross over relief valve. I thought there was a relief valve built into my Kioti DK45 remote control valve.
Long story...
I bent the ones on my DK45 into pretzels. Since the bushing for the pins is about 3/4" thick, I had new ones made out of 3/4" plate. Cost was just about the same as new ones from my local dealer. I am still being very watchful that I did not create a "weak link" somewhere else.
The switch plate is just the blank on the dash that was on the tractor. It is fairly soft plastic. I outlined base of switch on the blank. Drilled 2 holes with a drill close to diameter of switch outline. Then I trimed to the outline with an exacto knife. Switches are designed to push in hole in...
