This happened to me awhile ago on my 55. They had to take it in and reset it. A mouse chewed through one of several wires to the DPF. It had to be reset and the wires redone.

I’ve had this issue for some time and it just got lost with the repair folks. The bucket wasn’t level and the first time I took the entire FEL assembly off it was a disaster. The pin on the left side was wedged so tight I had to put a shim under the bucket on the opposite side to counter it...

Thanks Don that’s good info. Something else to inspect and to keep on hand.

Where is this lever???

Thanks for the info Don - pretty helpful.

What is even the point of your response? Not helpful in anyway.

new QD installed (both male and female) and everything seems functional for now. I'll update if there seems to be any other problems, but I'm guessing this was the culprit.

I'm going to replace this QD and see if that is the problem. It worked temporarily and then the problem came back - so I'm going to try and at least eliminate the QD.

I spoke too soon - well, not fixed. i thought it was the QD and unfortunately i am back to square one. i am going to replace the QD on that side and see if that fixes it with a new one, instead of a tinkered one. Also, when I took the QD off there was a ton of bubbles coming up through the...

I just removed both quick disconnects/connects and found one of them to be 'not as rigid'. I took it apart with a pair of snap ring pliers and cleaned them out and now it is working beautifully.

I just hooked up my grapple after the winter (here in Florida) to move some debris. I haven't had it hooked up since before the tractor leak issue I posted some time ago (maybe 10 months ago) over in the RK Tractor section. Anyways, I hooked up the grapple as normal, and went to pick up a...

Hey Don The FEL seems to be working fine. And for the most part the grapple works as it should movement-wise. I can open and close it, tilt and go up and down. The problem is that the grapple won’t stay shut and won’t shut with any force if there is any debris like tree branches in it. Once I...

congrats dave

The regen problem has appeared to be fixed for now. I haven't had a regen since the problem with the wires was addressed. As far as the level bucket - still not level.

I had the exact same thing and it was the hydro shaft seal. Bummer.

Here’s praying that in the midst of everything happening around our country, that everyone takes the time to enjoy the holidays with family and friends. I usually just peek around in here lately but think of you guys often. Work has been busy. Merry Christmas and Happy New Years! Gunny GraceWorx

Sounds like an honest mistake unless you’re a conspiracy theorist who thinks everyone in the world is out to get them. It’s clearly listed in their return policy. You make some pretty harsh statements against a company who has probably made policies because of its customers attempts to...

Probably gonna get some flak for welding shackle points to the bucket. But wanted to share anyway.

This is the same leak as my post before. I have contacted the store and they are going to follow up with me tomorrow morning. I preface this, because the store has always been top notch to get me taken care of. I don’t want to post all of the stuff from before - hopefully someone will...

I haven’t really been checking the site much and most of the world is dealing with this pandemic. I just wanted to say that I’m praying that everyone is doing well and that everyone is healthy or recovering. If you aren’t or you’re family or someone you know is affected by this, my prayers...

So I just got home from church and pulled it out and looked and it looks like it’s coming from the big case that the driveshaft is going into. Here’s some pictures. It’s still wet but doesn’t seem to be actively leaking. It’s clear fluid like hydraulic fluid.

The best I can tell it is meaning from the shroud covering the driveshaft. At the front.

Well it’s been awhile since posting on here, been busy with the holidays and life and some personal issues. Been reading when I can and keeping up without responding too much. I did a little field dragging yesterday and parked the tractor in the driveway so I could shop vac it out. Later when...

I must admit the manual for the RK 55 has much to be desired. So the first picture is what was shown on my dash and the second picture is from the manual. I tried to conduct a manual regen - no luck. I let the tractor run for 45 minutes at 2000 rpm. It would go any higher. No other lights. No...

I tried sending him an email this morning and then it was returned undeliverable! Interesting. I hope this isn’t a trend with RK. Not making me very trustworthy. Gunny

Does anyone have the cross reference filters for the RK55HC tractor for the 50 hour service? Specifically the oil filter, HST filter, fuel filter, hydraulic filter and gas/water separator filter. I’ve looked up the ones on the rural king website but I haven’t been to cross them to a cheaper...

Hey sorry for the late response.

Mine are labeled so I’m going with the label. sorry you’ll have to zoom in to see the labels. The pic was used for something else.

High exhaust temperature indicator. The manual is extremely vague and I have no idea what to do. I have been mowing about an acre when it came one.

I came across this in the owners manual and I know it is for wheel adjustment, but I’m not sure I totally get it.

So I took a stab at welding a small lever for the hydraulic top link. I welded it to a cable clamp and then clamped it in place. It was a rainy day project.

Years ago I chopped up a rusted three point boom because I needed the exact metal tubing to weld something else. Fast forward a year and I bought a tractor. I welded some new supports, a new piece of tubing and a new end cap. It’s really only going to be used to pull a manure drag around the...

I only have two rear remotes. I tried B first and that one seems more like what markie said - it locks going forward, not when going backward - that is, pulling the lever or pushing it. It’s now in A and behaving like it should. Very smooth, stays in position and acts much like the controls...

RK 55 HST Cab So I installed a hydraulic top link today and I originally put the connections in the B terminals on the rear remotes. The movement on the hydraulics were very choppy. And it felt like there was a stop gap when I moved the lever forward. Like a skip. When I put moved the hoses...

I think mine was 1/8” as well. Works really well.

My finish mower is recommended for 540rpm, does this mean I have to run it at 540rpm or can I run it lower?

Got a little mowing in today.

Not sure they are called sway bars. But can I put another hitch pin in the second hole? And if I can, will it prevent any movement at all? The reason I ask is when I have my carryall on the back, I don’t want it shifting from side to side as I drive. Will a second pin prevent that? Thanks...

Worked on a little something today. Tomorrow I’ll actually try and do some work “with” the tractor. “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin...

Picture of it? Has it sold?

It’s been about a week maybe a little more since the delivery of my 55HC. I won’t write too much because I’m still aching from this summer cold - the older you get the more it feels like it comes from inside your bones. I’ve put about 19 hours on the tractor. I’ve mowed about 8 acres, 3 with...

Re: Nobody has "a case of the Mondays" at The Farm - RK55HC delivered this afternoon! The tool box, if you can call it that, sits just to the right of the washer fluid reservoir and above your rear remotes. If you need a photo of the mounting bracket, just let me know.

After watching a branch almost javelin the front grill I thought it needed something a little more heavy duty. BEFORE AFTER Let me know your thoughts. It’s welded, and the top round pieces are PVC because the top and bottom edges were sharp. Bill

Looking around the tractor yesterday I saw these hanging out from under the dash/console area......

I’m loving the new tractor and trying to get adjusted to everything.

Added a camera up front and one on the back. 1080p resolution on a 2mp camera 7” monitor

Well I went and paid for the tractor and the implements and spoke with Doug (RK Tractor Guy) who made a visit to Gainesville today. I felt like I was meeting a celebrity. In all seriousness it was a pleasure to spend the time to talk to him and Tracey. She’s the reason I bought the tractor...

If you purchased an RK tractor what was the deciding factor? I made my decision to go with RK because of value and service. Bill

Does anyone have a backup camera installed on their 37/55 cab? Or any cameras for that matter? Interested to see if anyone put a camera behind them or in front or on top and if you have a monitor installed.

I’m looking to buy a tractor in the next couple of weeks and have it narrowed down to these two. I’m just not sure if there is an advantage of one over the other. The nearest TYM dealer is in Ocala, I’m in Gainesville, FL. I have an RK locally in town. TYM can get me the exact same setup and...

So I started looking at tractors about 4 months ago and came about this site. Started my research and started looking at RK tractors mostly because of the positive remarks in the forum. I haven’t found very much negative if any on them. And price to value is very good. So I went to my local RK...

I know this topic has been hit a couple of times. I plan on taking delivery of my 55SC in a week. I originally planned on getting the hydro until I went to the store and the tractor manager told me I’d be better off with a shuttle. I am cutting about 8 acres for a horse farm. Mostly pastures...

Good morning everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself as ran across this forum on my search for a tractor. My wife and I run an 8 acre mini farm and we are looking for a tractor to use for the daily and weekly work we do that will replace a 1978 Ford that didn稚 have a loader. We run a...
