    Just saw your post Sonny. I will join up and see if we can swap some lies. I'm working on a Rhino 2224 and when I get one thing under control, something else quits or leaks...Guess that's the way it is when you're a cheapskate like me. Good to hear from you. Hope the wind farm fans don't keep...

    Hey Sonny, are you still working the soil with that S650 Bison? I've just rejoined TBN after a couple years and saw a kinda recent post of yours. You and I used to be on MBN years ago, but I left when that site started going away and new guys took over. I'm now retired and in central Florida...

    Removing a Koyker 155 loader that doesn't have quick disconnects.

    Got my quick couplers installed and made up a jumper hose to route the delivery back to return port. I really appreciate the advice and info you fellas gave me. I have one bucket cylinder rebuilt and had to take the other one to a hydraulic shop as I could not break the gland loose even with an...

    Removing a Koyker 155 loader that doesn't have quick disconnects.

    Well thank you fellas for the great advice and info. I ordered the Pioneer ISO couplers and am going to pick up the nipples at TSC tomorrow. I also ordered a 12" hyd hose with 1/2" male NPT fittings and and extra set of the male pioneer ISO couplers as a loop on the tractor pump fittings (see...

    Removing a Koyker 155 loader that doesn't have quick disconnects.

    Bought a Rhino International 2224 Chinese compact tractor with a Koyker 155 loader and noticed that it doesnt have quick disconnects on the hydraulic delivery or return hoses, just connected solid. Couple of questions: since both the hose connectors are swivel male fittings (not sure if thee...

    On mine the coupling only grips about 5/16-3/8" of the pump shaft. I installed the modified coupling and that seems to work pretty well. Now I think I have air in the hydraulic system as the loader will lift but will not lower until I shut the motor off, then it will lower from its weight when I...

    eBay/Craigslist Satoh S-650G - Hello -

    Here are some more photo's of the homemade drivers that came as spare parts for the S650G. There are a couple welded up drivers consisting of a 1/2" bolt welded to a plate to attach to the drive pully. The bolt used is a grade 5. I welded up the worn coupling slot and filed it to fit, in order...

    eBay/Craigslist Satoh S-650G - Hello -

    I was in need of a coupling for the hydraulic pump, and could only find used ones or rusty ones at pretty hefty prices. I spent a little time drawing up a coupling for the hydraulic pump based on the one I had on hand. This was a used coupling but I was able to get some accurate dimentions on...

    Bison S670 & S670D serial numbers

    I just bought an S650G with the 27hp Mazda engine. My serial number is 500795. I am trying to determine the year that this one was built. Can find absolutely no info on decyphering the serial numbers for the year of manufacture.

    Satoh S-650G Serial Number Survey

    Anyone with a Satoh Bison S650G have a switch activated by the Hi-Low lever? I am rewiring my tractor and the wiring diagram does not show any reference to this switch? If I cant find any reference to it I may just wire it to a couple indicator lamps to indicate the speed range.
