Apparently you're correct. Scumbag lied right to my face, said even though he had no inventory, he was still doing service and warranty work. Was supposed to pick up my tractor in November. Ghosted me all winter. Now I'm stuck trying to get another dealer, MUCH further away to fix my...

Tractor Supply has Mobil Delvac for 60 bucks a pail. It's the same exact fluid as the 424.

Final update: McMaster-Carr somehow got the O-rings to me in 1 day! I put the new ones on, they're definitely a firmer material. Torqued to 38ft/lbs, and have since done about 15hrs of brush hogging, without any issues. I did not get the new connector part (yet), but I did take some 400 grit...

Unfortunately, my dealer couldn't find the set of Orings that he thought he still had, but that's ok. I ordered some from McMaster Carr, and they should be here in a day or two. At least when all said and done, it's a cheap fix, and only a few days of downtime. Thanks again to everyone that...

That was my thought as well. More "meat" behind the O-ring, in theory should make it harder for the pressure to find a way out. My dealer did say this morning that just using the better quality O-rings solved the problem for one of his other customers. He thinks he has a set of them, just...

That's exactly what I've got.

550 hours. I haven't found much at all loose on mine. I had 1 loader bolt come 1/4 turn loose, but I check them every time I change the engine oil. My engine oil has always been pretty clean, no metal (and I cut filters open every time). When I replaced hydro fluid @ 400 hours, I used Mobil...

Interesting. Sure does look like I probably have the older one. I made it 550 hours before this, so for right now I'm just gonna get the o-rings, so I can finish up my mowing for this year. I can try to order the new part over the winter. Oddly though, I put that part # into MIE's part...

Thank you for the info. I figured I'd replace all 4 on that hard line since I have it off anyway. I'm gonna go to a local truck/hydraulic shop on monday and see what they've got, at least to get me back in the fields mowing for now, but I'll be sure to order some of the ones you suggested. I...

Yep, I was super worried about it last night, seemed like it was going to be a nightmare, and I've still got lots of mowing left to do. Still gotta wait til monday to find the o-ring somewhere locally, but I'll sleep better tonight, knowing that I don't have to spend a fortune or wait for...

Well, I had to go check again, and turns out, we were sort of both right lol. It IS an O-ring, but it's on the hard line, not on the valve body. Was super easy to get to from under the seat, and it's probably like a dollar for a new o ring. Here's a couple pictures of it. In the 2nd picture...

Wow, you know what, you might be right. It sure looked like it was where I put the arrow, but I didn't want to get my face or hands too close, and risk getting injured. I watched my original video in slow-mo, and it sure does look like it's coming from the hard line. I think it's the one...

Tried to make a GIF of a video I took, but still won't let me upload it here. Found somewhere else to upload it, here's the link. https://gifyu.com/image/Xnfr Not great quality, but gets the point across. Sure looks like just a blown seal (o ring) to me.

You might be exactly right. Spent all morning on it, pulled the seat and the fender off. Started it up for a moment, just to see where the leak is....and sure looks like a blown seal to me. Took a short video as well, but I'm not sure how to post that here. I'm not doing anything else with...

I think I probably lost a gallon during the 1/4 mile drive home, so I def. can't ignore it. I might try to get a better look at it tomorrow, but I don't think I'm gonna start pulling anything apart until I talk to the dealer on monday. Should be easier to see if I remove the fender, but I...

I know, but thank you, good advice for anyone that might be reading this post in the future. Was it AvE on youtube that said "don't put your fingers anywhere you wouldn't put your d**k" ?

Thanks. Yeah the picture is a mess. It was starting to get dark, and everything was hot, so not a whole lot I could do tonight. I really have no idea where it's coming out from. The filter on that side has oil all over it, but it's def. coming from the valve area above the filter. I'll see...

Was out brush mowing for a few hours today, without any issues. Rough terrain, but mostly just pasture grass and weeds, goldenrod, etc... When I called it a day, I raised up the mower to drive home on the road, and immediately smelled hot hydraulic fluid. Got off the tractor, but didn't...

Only brand new car I've ever bought in my life, was in 05. Drove great for about a week, then one morning on my way to work, on interstate 95, everything just shut off at highway speeds. Managed to get off the road safely, but had completely lost all electrical in the car. Dealer arranged a...

Ran the tractor all day today, no more exhaust smell. I know for certain the last regen did complete like normal. Not sure what to think now, but I'm gonna keep my eyes (or nose) on it.

I did, immediately after noticing the exhaust smell the other day. Got the compressor out and blew out the grill and radiator screen. Filter was new this spring, still looks great. We've had a wet summer, so no dust anywhere to get sucked up.

ck3510se, did my 400hr service this spring, Just did another engine oil and filter change last week, kioti filter, rotella oil. It did a regen a couple days ago, at 513hrs, and ever since, the exhaust is smelling somewhat like an older diesel. Not exactly, but definitely a noticeable odor that...

I looked for one for my ck3510 a couple years ago. Couldn't find anything that didn't require taking the grill guard off. I typically just leave the loader on all the time, for the weight. Hasn't ever been an issue, even on some of the steep hills I mow. Just gotta keep the loader low to the...

You should have heard a slight change in the sound of the engine while it was doing the regen. It usually smells a bit too, although it may not at only 40hrs. My 3510se did normal "in use" regens up until just shy of 400hrs. Then it started going into a near constant cycle of regens, every...

My tractor came with an Interstate battery when I bought it in 2018. The battery did not survive the cold this winter, and won't hold much of a charge anymore. Need a new one, just curious to hear what others are using, I'm in upstate NY, where winters are below freezing for long stretches at...

I've had the tractor a couple years now. When I first got it, I did a lot of backhoe work, at lower rpm's, and I got my first regen at only 18hrs. Ever since, I always run the tractor at higher rpms, no matter what I'm doing. I'll let it idle for a minute or two, to warm up when I start it...

Finished doing some mowing yesterday, and found a screw partially embedded in a front tire. It was about 3 threads deep into the rubber. I took it out, and there doesn't seem to be any air leaking, but since the screw was in the thinnest part of the tire, I'm a little worried about that being...

I had a small old collapsed barn on my property. I cleared it down to the slab, and built new on existing slab. It's small, but I'm happy with it. I plan on building a 3 sided shed for implements this summer. Here's a before and after pic:

I've got 120acres of former farmland. On one end of the property I've got 2 former hay fields that are approx 300ft wide, and a quarter mile long. There was a hedgerow dividing these 2 fields, consisting of a single row of trees (mostly maple and ash), however, over the past 30 years of...

Keep your eyes on craigslist and facebook marketplace. I scored an immaculate chipper last summer for only 550 bucks!. It's a Danuser 18p (the company still exists, but don't think they make chippers anymore). I've comfortably fed it 2 1/2" material, don't know if it would do 4", but I burn...

My first 2 oil changes were done using a Cub Cadet branded diesel oil (dealer is also a Cub Cadet dealer, and he said it exceeded Kioti's requirements). Most recent oil change I had to switch, because he was out of stock, and said it was going to be a while before he got more. He recommended...

Finally got a chance to run the chipper some today. It runs great! My Kioti ck3510 has more than enough power, I was running some 2 1/2 - 3" limbs through it, and the tractor never even fluttered on rpm's. If I had to find a complaint....I wish the chip size was a little bigger. When I...

I'm looking at a Danuser 18p chipper for sale. It's been stored inside forever, and is in surprisingly good condition for it's age. It definitely needs new knives on it, but otherwise it seemed to run just fine. I've tried searching online for a manual, or any other info, and haven't been...

Coming up on 1yr with the tractor, and just about to hit 150hrs. My dealer isn't open on Sundays, and I'm just sitting here this afternoon trying to budget some upcoming expenses, and trying to figure out what the service is gonna cost me. I'm guessing somewhere around 300 bucks for filters...

I'm also in Upstate NY, and have done plenty of mowing in what looks like similar conditions to your pics. I've got a ck3510se, with a 2060 cutter. I banged the blades up pretty good last year, so they're far from sharp, but it's still doing a fine job this year cutting. Like others have...

Recently picked up an old homemade 3pt wood splitter for cheap. Only thing it needed was new pioneer connectors on the hoses, as the old ones were leaking. In the process of changing these, I lost probably about a quart of fluid. There's no bleeder on the cylinder on the splitter.... do I...

I tried. It does not clear. It's not even really close. The vertical part of the step hit's the bracket/hoses. I plan on fabricating my own at some point, but it's not a pressing project, so it might not happen til next winter. If I make one that's narrower, it would fit, and could even...

Here's a couple pictures of my ck3510se. First is the step on the left. Then you can see the mounting holes are there on the right side, there's just a little bracket welded in the way, with the loader hoses zip tied to it. I think I could build my own step, by not making it as wide as the...

I'd like to add a step to the right side of my 3510. It's got the mounting holes already there for a step (same as the left side), but the Kioti step won't work, because of the loader hoses and bracket that are underneath the right hand side. Has anyone fabricated their own step, and have any...

First load in the "new" wagon. Loaded it up pretty good, but didn't wanna pile it up too much for the first trip down the hill with it. Wasn't sure how the tractor would handle the weight, especially since it rained all night, and my trail does have a couple slick spots. Came down the hill in...

Got an old roached out firewood wagon from a neighbor a few days ago. It's 4'x8', so pretty decent size. It was in rough shape though. All of the lumber was rotten, and most of the steel needed a lot of cleaning up (and a couple small patches). 3 days of work later, I'm pretty happy with the...

Your way worked like a champ! Thanks for the suggestion.

Obviously I forgot to put the most important block under the back end....now I gotta deal with this nonsense. Front end is 2 feet off the ground. Not sure yet how exactly I'm going to drop the front end enough to get it under the tractor. Any tips to prevent this from happening? Other than...

Here's how mine turned out. I wanted to add some kind of additional protection front and back...I used some 3/16 rod, but I ran out. Gonna grab another stick sometime, and add a vertical and horizontal piece inside the diamond, if that makes sense. The rods on the back of the guard are...

Not my picture, just grabbed it off google to show the problem bolts. They're the short bolts that hold the little teardrop shaped plates on. I noticed it because one of them came completely out, and the teardrop plate had spun 180 degrees, and grease was everywhere. I checked them all, and...

I just finished fabricating a tentative solution to hook a small yard wagon to the huge drawbar on my ck3510. I didn't want to weld anything on the wagon tongue, because my mother still occasionally uses the wagon behind her small garden tractor, while gardening, and I didn't want to prevent...

It was 15F all day here yesterday, and -9F overnight. When I bought the tractor this summer, the dealer (and other brands dealers I was looking at) said that the heaters weren't necessary here. But when I went to get the tractor out this morning, I checked the fuel tank, and it's definitely...

Will be using the bucket for snow removal this year. My driveway is about 350ft, but it's in pretty rough shape. A mix of 3 different sizes of gravel, and the peak in the center is too high in some places. Didn't want to spend all winter fighting with the cutting edge on the bucket digging...

I searched, and found a thread with some info, that my ck3510 axle pivot grease fitting is a 1/8-28 bspt fitting. I went to Napa this afternoon, and took the broken one with me, they sold me a 1/8 that I'm pretty sure is NPT (the packaging is not clear). It does not fit, I can get about 1...

Sorry it's taken so long to respond, been so busy I just forgot about this for a while. Yours looks similar enough to mine, that I think I figured out the problem. I believe my dealer may have swapped positions of one set of bolts and the pins. The top bolt should be in the spot where the...

One week old ck3510se, 18.5 hours on it (mostly backhoe work at fairly low rpm's so far). The manual isn't crystal clear when it comes to the 2 different types of regen, and I've got a couple questions. I believe I got the passive regen light on this afternoon. I kept rpm's up while the light...

My ck3510se TLB got delivered yesterday. Spent all day today digging. 2ft+ deep trench to bury wire in, made it about 230 feet today, 40ft left to finish tomorrow. Both pics are from roughly the same spot, where I turned 90degrees. The downhill section to the pole is a fairly decent...

Alright, spent an hour or so digging a bit. I got the 12" bucket, knowing it's extremely rocky soil here, but it probably would've handled the 16" just fine. Took a couple pictures of her, one with an obligatory happy puppy. I think he likes the tractor almost as much as I do!

Just got home from writing the check. Will be delivered next Thurs or Fri. Also included is 60" brush hog and box blade. Can't wait to get to work next weekend.

Currently planning out the lumber order for the garage i'm building, and I need to make my final decision on the door height. I know literature specs say 99.3 inches, but that's with rops up, and I believe ag tires. I'm trying to find the measurement with rops down and R4's. Bonus if anyone...

First post on here, but I've been reading a ton on the forums, reading reviews, etc. I'm shopping for a new compact to handle a variety of tasks on the property I recently purchased. It's 37.5 acres of upstate NY hillside. Most of it is wooded, and I do plan on harvesting firewood. My...
