Problem DK35 overheating, changed fan belt, new thermostat. When releasing pressure cap, fluid flows into resinous but not when cap is on. Will get a new cap this week but this one is only a couple years old. Any other ideas??

The warning light on my Kioti came on, looked at the owners manuel and it said oil may be too hot or the system may have a restriction. Changed the the filter and the light went out for about a few hundered yards. Oil was cold as it had not been used for a day or two. Question is if there is a...

I just got a recall notice form Ford for the gas tank straps on my F150. It said they could corrode and break resulting in the gas tank falling on the ground. Well, it's a little late for that it already happened in June of last year. I'm on the ramp to get on the freeway and all of a sudden...

I have a Huskvarna GTH 2548 that is about 6 years old with about 250 hours on the unit. Last weekend while I was mowing the thing suddenly shut off while in the middle of the lawn. It will start with the clutch depressed but dies as soon as I let the clutch our. If I leave the clutch...

Just an update on the post of a week ago regarding a lack of power in my DK35. I looked at what was necessary to take off the fuel tank and it was a daunting challenge, so I decided I needed to find a better way. I drained the tank and took the fuel gage out of the tank and with a very small...

I have a DK35 with about 1200 hours on it. Last winter it suddenly lost power and while it would run, it would not operate the snow blower . Later it wouldn't even start. We tried draining the fuel tank thinking that maybe we had some bad fuel. We drained it several times and suddenly it...

I just got a call from my son who is out at our farm. My Dk35 was running and working and all of a sudden it lost power. It would start and run but it if you give it any throttle nothing happens. It now will start but the idle fluxuates from 1000rpm down to about 500 rpm and runs real rough...

I just got a call from the neighbor that the Electric company replaced the transformer that services his place and mine. I took a ride out this morning to check that all was "OK". I found out that the furnace was not working. I checked the breaker and it was not tripped. I turned off the...

I planted about 3/4 acre of pumpkins this year for pig feed in the same area that was planted with pumpkins last year. Last year I had over 100 pumpkins from this patch. This year we had so much rain that I was only able to cultivate once early in the summer and then the rain took over. We've...

After not being able to start my 8N, I let it sit for a little over a year. I then checked the compression and had anywhere from 30 to 50 PSI so I decided it was time for a rebuild. Yesterday after we removed the engine my youngest son disassembled it. I found the bearings in great...

Well I got the grandsons out this weekend to help plant. We had 80 Blue berry bushes and 100 Raspberries to plant. After we doug holes for the 80 blue berries and had them planted we got some lunch. As we were going out to plant 100 raspberry bushes I thought lets try the middle buster plow...

I can't figure what is happening but lately when I read a long thread and go back to the start pr try to add a comment I get a message that I'm not logged in and have to go back to log in again and loose the comment I just typed.

I was using the log splitter a few days ago and I was doing it by myself. Usually my grandson helps by standing across from me and when the log is first split he puts the back half on the frame until I get the front half split, then sets it on the bed and we split that. Like most splitters you...

Well the dreaded Emerald Ash Borer has been found just about 8 miles from my place. The State has restricted the transport of wood from this county and the adjoining county. I can understand some restrictions but this one makes no sense. No Ash can be move out of these 2 counties, saw logs...

This has been one of the wettest summers I can remember. Usually in July we get 3 to 4 inches of rain with about the same amount in August, for a total of 6 to 8 inches for the heart of the summer. Well this past month we had 9.5 inches and after the first 2 days of august we have had 1.2" I...

It's been a couple months since Rox has posted, I hope all is well with her!

On the way home from the farm yesterday I passed the local Case, Kubota dealer. While I didn't stop and only caught a glance as I went buy it looked like the Case/IH line of tractors had some much smaller units at the end of the row. They didn't look much larger than my neighbors Ck20...

Am I doing something wrong? When I'm reading a thread and click on a picture after viewing I close the picture window. The thread go's back to the beginning , or top of the page and not back to the message the picture was viewed from. Is this something new I don't remember it happening before.

I've been using this sickle bar mower for the last several years to keep my hay fields mowed, about 20 acres worth. A neighbor want to contract with me to plow them up and plant alfalfa on a 5 year lease and I think I'm going to do it since I don't do anything with the hay but let it lay. I'vr...

Well it's time to shop around the car and homeowners insurance. I haven't done it for several years and I keep getting these adds from AARP that The Hartford has special rates for members. I decided to give them a try. I sent them the information on my vehicles and got back the quote today...

Good old American craftsmanship, my tractor is 3 years old and the sidewalls on all the Triton tires have cracks in them. This tractor was never driven on the road or abused and already one front tire leaked air so bad I had to put a tube in it or fill it every 2 days. I have an old 8N that...

I have a Husky GT2548 that I've used for a little over 4 years. It uses the Kohler Command 25 hp engine and has run well up till last week. It now surges unless the mower deck is engaged. It you pull out the choke a bit with the deck disengaged the surging stops. After it has run for a while...

Well about a year ago my daughter got me a Bassett hound puppy to replace my 10 year old bassett that died. He's generally a good dog but within the last couple of months he has taken to counter surfing now & then and when he gets something off the counter and you try to get it back from him...

Why is it that when I use the "Search Forum" function I am returned to the opening page with all the topics listed and nothing comes up about the subject I have searched for?

I've been looking for a bulk tank for fuel for some time and last week my son who works for a distributer of oil products said he could get me a tank. I went to pick it up and it is a 350 gallon white plastic tank that had 80-90 gear lube in it. It has a ball valve on the bottom, and is...

Does anyone have any Ideas how to correct this? On my Dk35 for the last few months the throttle has been sticking after I put it down to idle speed. When you try to increase the RPM's it feels like the linkage had some kind of a knuckle in it just after the idle setting and you can't get the...

I just got a notice from the company I get propane from that I can lock in the new price for this coming year at only $2.70 per gal. Thats up 72 cents from last year or about 35% more. For the last few years I've set the heat at the farm at 50 when I'm not there to keep the pipes from freezing...

The boot on the FEL control on my tractor has gone from nice and smooth to nice and sticky. It looks like someone covered it with honey and if you touch it, your hand comes away with black goo on it. Is this a common problem or do I have a unique machine.

I just checked my tires this week and I was amazed. The tractor has less than 700 hours on it, it is stored inside and is almost 3 years old . The Titon tires on the front have started to show weather checking already. I have an old 8N with tires that are almost 25 years old and they aren't...

I have a Ford F150 4.2L with auto trans. Recently it has developed a problem I can't seem to figure out. When I get up to 55mph or above and cruse along I suddenly get what feels like a high speed miss, or momentary hesitation. If I kick it into passing gear, the miss goes away but will come...

I was just surfing on surpluscenter.com and they have mid mount gearboxes for MF1233 &1428 and the 1433 to 1440v for $50. It might be worth a look if you have either of those models.

Last weekend I was using my DK35 to run around the property. I started it and let it run until the hear gage came into the normal range. I lifted the bucket and the 3Pt hitch and with the 75" blower on the back, the hitch started bouncing about 3" up and down. I set the blower down and lifted...

Red Rocker, I haven't seen any posts from him in a long time.

Yesterday I was wondering around Gander Mountain just killing time. The wife decided I was in the way when she was working in the family room. I was scrounging in one of the 50% off tables in the Marine section and I found a bunch of wire and a set of wire cutters/stripper/crimper on the...

Am I having problems with my server or is it problems with the site. I click on a topic when I go to the Since My Last Visit area, and it takes for ever to load today. I'm not having problems with other sites so I don't think it's a server problem. Am I the only one?

My son works for a company that sells oil and grease products. Last week he brought me a 1/2 case of Mobil 1 synthetic grease. He said that they were going to dispose of it as the tubes were looking a little time worn and it was so expensive that they only sold it rarely, and they won't sell...

Well the snowblower arrived last Friday. It's a real beauty 75" Meteor ( made in Canada). When I lifted it off the trailer with the FEL and set it down I noticed it had a Hydro operated chute control. I told the owner of the dealership that I ordered the one with the manual control. He said...

I have a couple of "old' CUB garden tractors, a 125 and a 127 both with 12 hp Kohler 301 engines. The electrical wiring has a bad case of "smoke gets in your eyes". I'd love to replace the wiring harness in both of them, can someone let me know where I would start looking for a wiring harness.

It's kind of hard to think about Winter this time of year, but I just put a down payment on a 75" snowblower to get ready for the 5 ft. drifts I had last year. When I'd plow the wind would blow and drift the snow as high as the piles along the side of the drive. Dealer told me this Miller...

The grandson was using the Dk35 to bring wood rounds to me to split and when he made one trip the rod that runs thru the tube to level the loader bucket was in the bucket. A bit bent up but not so bad I couldn't fix it. My question is when I looked for the point that the rod attached to the...

Since I'm not very computer literate, can anyone tell me why in a 45 minute session on this site I have to log in several times some days and only once on other days.

The last 2 times I changed the hydro oil in my Dk35, it takes forever to fill. I pull out the dipstick, open the filler tube ,put in a funnel and start to pore. All goes well for the first 3 or 4 gallons then the stuff just backs up and burps and gurggles. It will take maybe a pint or two...

On my Dk35 I change the oil and filter every 100 hours, just always have change d both at the same time. The question I have is the manuel says change the filter every 200 hours but the sticker on the side of the dashboard says to change the filter every 150 hours. Why can't the manufacturer...

The former post regarding the 3 pt. lowering got me thinking. My DK35 now has a little over 450 hours on it and I find the rollback on the fel seems to pitch forward with only the weight of the bucket. I don't seem to remember this happening earlier. What's normal after 450 ours and almost 2...

I was on my way out to my farm this past week and I knew I needed a spindle housing for my Husvarna mower. I had to drive past Tractor Supply and Lowes on the way. So I stopped at both places to get the part. Neither had it. The guy at Lowes told my I'd have to go to a dealer if I wanted more...

I have a New Holland sickle bar mower Model 46. I've used it to mow some fields for the last few years. My neighbor has purchased the 20 acres of hay for the last few years and will continue to buy the hay for his horses. He cuts and bales it, so I have no more use for the mower. Anyone have...

I bought a Husky GTH2548 about 3 years ago. Up till now it has been a very dependable machine. Last week I was mowing and heard a snap, looked under the deck and the spindle housing on the discharge side had broken. I took the deck off, went to the dealer and bought a new spindle assembly...

I noticed that the large rubber gromits that the bottom pins on my DK35 grill fit into are no longer in place. Last time I went past my dealer, I picked up 2 new ones and installed them. I cut about 10 acres of hay and had to pull the grill off to clean the radiator screen and the gromits were...

Well I called my dealer last week to see what my 2 year warentee covered. I've had the tractor for21 months and the seat broke. The sheet metal on the bottom has a nut welded inside it where it bolts to the tilt bracket. It pulled through and the seat sits crooked. Well, it is a covered part...

Last week my 9 year old Bassett Hound, Frasier, was on his last leg with a failing liver. Two weeks before the vet said to take him home and enjoy his last few weeks. By last Friday he couldn't walk more than 15 ft without having to lay down and rest for 10 minutes. We put him in the car and...

Have any of you received a note like this? I came home yesterday and found a form in my door that the gas company wanted to come into my house to check my appliances to see if I had a faulty meter. Since the meter is on the outside of the house and if they think the meter is faulty, why do...

Well the banks on the side of the drive got very high this year and it's time for a larger snowblower. I plan to go to an auction this weekend and they advertise a couple snowblowers on their per sale list. My question is how large a blower do you think a DK35 will handle?

My son has a 93 Ford Ranger with a 4.0 engine and 5 speed tranny. The tranny seems to have packed it in. Does anyone know if the tranny from the 2.3 or 3.0 will bolt up to the bellhousing of the 4.0 engine?

Well it was seat time the past few days. Western New York had one of our lovely Lake Effect storms. Cold air over the warm lake and we had 22 inches of wet snow on thursday the 12th. By 9pm over 350,000 people were without power and in my case it was out for 48 hours. Many people including...

I just did the 300 hour service on my DK35 and when I wiped down the engine I saw a plate on the top of the valve cover. One of the items stamped on the plate was HP 24.7kw. Anyone have any idea what this is? I thought I bought a 35 hp tractor.

I just finished another oil change on my DK35 and noticed a orange rubber plug near the oil dipstick tube. I pulled it out and found a hole into the engine, anyone have any idea what it is for. I can;t find anything about it in the manual.

Yesterday I was hauling some logs out of the woods with my DK35. When I lifted the log end with the 3 pt hitch to the top of the lift capacity I got a chattering from the middle of the tractor, ( I assume that's where the pump is). The chattering caused vibration in the FEL hoses and...

I now have 50 hours on my Husky GTH 2548. I changed the oil and lubed all the fittings at 25 hours. My confusion comes from the 2 manuals that came with the unit. The owners manual says to change the oil every 25 hours and the Filter every 50 hours. Further down in the same section of the...

Well I have my first complaint on the design of my DK35. Last night I left the tractor out in the rain with the seat folded up so it wouldn't be full of water. I came out this morning and put the seat down and sat down, I immediately got up went back inside and changed my pants. I'd like to...

My neighbor had a new 14' X 65' trailer delivered yesterday. The truck got almost to the top of the hill and then the tires started spinning on the mud and wet grass, and the move was all but over. I went up the hill in my trusty DK35 with a chain in the bucket and figured I'd give him...

I just got a call from my neighbor. I let him use my tractor to make some repairs to the road that we both use to get to our property. When he finished using it he power washed it before he parked back in the barn. He said he found 2 cracks between the lug nuts on one of the rear wheels, not...

I have an old 1 bottom plow that I love for cutting ditches to drain fields. Last fall the share broke and I can't find a replacement. I don't know the make of the plow but the ID on the back of the broken share is A-C 24-CDSS. I'm thinking that A-C may be Allis Chalmers but I don't know for...

I can't find one of my keys for my DK35 and need to get a new one made. Do I just call the dealer and have one sent, or are they unique for each tractor, and will I have to take the one I have to the dealer to have a copy made?

My owners manuel states to use 10w30 oil for my oil change. It's difficult to find 10W30 that is diesel rated. Why is the Oil recommended 10W30 and not 15W40 like most other diesel engines I've had?

I have an old AC 1 bottom plow that I love for cutting ditches. The tip broke off some time ago and I've tried to find a replacement with no success. I could find an old drag behind plow and cut it up and weld it to the 3pt hitch frame of the AC but I'd prefer not to do that. Anyone have any...

I was recently given my great grandfathers old Marlin .32 lever action rifle. I've looked in several places for ammo but I don't see anything listed for a .32 rifle. The last patent date on the gun is 1895. Can anyone tell me if .32 pistol ammo will fit this gun, or do you know where I might...

I just started my 50 hour service, all went well until it was time to change the Hyd filter. I tried to remove it by hand, then used a strap wrench, all that did was crush the can. Tried a small chisel and hammer to tap the rolled over rim. Nothing will move it. So far I haven't put a hole...

My neighbor has an old Oliver HG cletrac with a dozer blade & Front end loader for sale, he has many extra parts ( engine,tracks,radiator,rearend,drive & idler wheels) It runs but needs a head gasket. He's asking $3200 for it, is this a reasonable price?
