I came into the shed today and there was about a gallon of oil on the floor under the CK35 tractor. It is coming from a very slow (1 drop every 5 minutes) leak from a one inch hairline crack on the hydraulic case. It is just to the left of the bottom of the attachment point for the right 3pt...

I was using the horn yesterday and it worked for a while but then stopped. Then I noticed my rear lights were out. Today she won't start. Normal smoke but it never seems to catch. I checked all the fuses in the fuse box. They look fine. The manual says to check the big 60 amp "slow fuse" near...

I'm getting ready for the 50 hour service on my CK35 HST and I've read through all of your helpful post but I have one question. For the HST do I use tranny/hydro fluid? I was at our local general tractor store and they had special transmission fluids for the big brands, hydraulic fluid for...

It's probably old news to most people but I came up with a way to get accessory power with minimal cutting of wires. I needed 12V to run my new sprayer. I could have spliced but I ended up just disconnecting one rear light at the plug and crimping on a connector for each wire. The wires were...

I just picked up a Schulte 7400 (74") blower. :D It is very heavy and seems strong. It was made in 2002. It was in good shape and I just cleaned it up and painted. Do you guys think the blower blades look OK? They are a little bent. Should I straighten or replace them? Also I think that these...

I bought a block heater and the service manual from Rick Wallace. Does anyone know how to install it? I assume I need to pry out a freeze plug but I'm not sure how and the manual doesn't say anything. Thanks

(I posted this in the middle of another post but I may not have reached the experts) After a few hours of successful use I noticed that the reverse pedal is only about an inch off the deck. I can go quickly forward (about 2 or 3" of travel) but reverse is very slow. I wonder if I bent...

We've had about 3 feet of snow in the last week on my 1/2 mile road. The snow is very fine and drifts of four feet can form in a few hours. I've been using my CK-35 for many hours almost every day. I now have 18 hours. Here's what I've found: With good chains on the front and rears, plus filled...

I posted about my new wheel spacers: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/customization/129561-wheel-spacers-kioti.html

I just installed my 2" rear aluminum wheel spacers and I can't be more pleased. I got them from wheeladapter.com for $400 incl shipping. You just bolt them on and then bolt the wheel to the new spacers. No studs to remove. Kioti hubs have two male studs and four female "holes". You wind up with...

I'm trying to get some 2" spacers made for my rear wheels. It sounds like wheeladapter.com and bro-tek.com are the only games in town. The problem is that Kioti chose to use 16mm fine threads. Why of all the threads in the world they chose that one is beyond me. :rolleyes: Anyway, on my CK35...

I'm new to welding and I would like to weld some 2" pieces of pipe on to my tire stems. Can I do this with the tire mounted or do I need to disassemble it? I have a 180 amp wire welder. Thanks

This thing is amazing. I got an HST with FEL and R1s for $15,995. I had the dealer add a toothbar and a set of rear hydraulics for another $700. I want to say thanks for all that I've learned from you all and also share my impressions so far. First of all I'm coming from a 1956 35hp Ferguson...

Apparently the free loader sale is still on. How does this sound: $15,995 cash for a CK35, hydro, FEL, R1's.

Wow, prices really differ between dealers. I went to my local Kubota dealer in Spokane WA and I was quoted $19,995 for a L3240 with R1 tires with rimguard. He said R1's save me $300 so I figure that should compensate for the rimguard (which I have purchased before). Looking at other people's...
