I'm recently experiencing two problems with the clutch on my KM454. 1. I've noticed slipping in it (only 300 hrs on tractor) when put under heavy loads and pulling up hill. Is there any internal adjustment that can be done? Adjustment of the linkage has not improved anything. 2. Tried the...

I was asleep at the wheel while mowing the other day and didn't notice that the lugs on the front left tire had backed off (two backed off completely). Long story short I wound up bending the rim pretty badly. I beat it back into shape as best as possible and welded the stress cracks but the...

I've been experienncing significant hydraulic power loss on my Koyker 195 loader (mounted on a Kama 454) over the last few months. Beyond making sure the fluids are toped off I haven't done any troubleshooting...figured I'd go to the pros first! Could it be as simple as the suction strainer...

I'm interested in camo-ing the mini truck I just purchased. Has anyone had any experience with the vinyl kits available? I probably would need the kit for a "small truck" (most are 120 sq ft of material) to get this whole thing covered. Anyone know where to get the best pricing? Most kits I...

Yesterday I was using my KM454 for about 1.5 hrs moving snow. The snow was very wet, the first really wet snow this season. I began noticing red snow under and next to the rear tires. It looked almost like dyed fuel had been sprayed on the tires and was dripping off (except I don't use dyed...

Are electric trailer brakes adjustable? If so whats involved and how often? My brakes have gone from working fine to barely working after about 5000 miles of towing in the last two months. I found out yesterday that the brakes on my tandem trailler (dual brakes) were no longer working. The...

I have an 18' trailer with 2 3500# axles. The axles are clamped above the leaf springs. I'd like to raise the height of the trailer a few inches ... it sits too close to the ground. Would it do harm to reverse the se5t-up and clamp the leaf spring above the axle?

I'm interested in purchasing a 90" flail mower to mow 6-8 acres of grass at my home. There is quite a bit of exposed ledge on my property that has taken its toll on my finish mowers' spindles and blades! I'm able to buy a 90" Alamo for a very reasonable price. The unit has brush blades on it...

I know this has nothing to do with tractors but I figure I'd throw it out there anyway. I've been trying to get the hitch out of the receiver for the last 3 hours with no luck. 1) I've tried nylon strap to tree in 4WD- LOTS OF PENTRATING OIL! 2) Beating a wood splitter between it and hitch 3)...

After reading Andy's tread on a container of Jinma's being held by Customs I wonder what frequency of "problems" with importation actually is. More specifically I'd like to reach out to individuals who have dealt direct with China and imported a single tractor for their personal use. I'm...

I'm getting ready to import a Kama 454. Has anyone had any experience with Chinese implements. Most specifically the TZC05 loader or LW-7 frame mount backhoe? For that matter any feedback good/bad on china FEL/Backhoes. Are they as adequate as their tractors? Thanks Anthony
