That's great insight @arrow. I think you are on the money there. I will know more by the weekend and keep you all posted.

Spoke to Mahindra and their dealers. A full HST runs about $8k and it in stock in the US, so that good. It sounds to me that this tractor was sold directly from Mahinda at auction a few years back (I send a reply to try to clarify this). If it was the linkage like MtnViewRanch suggested. I am...

But is there such a think as not fixable? Its just a q. of money in the end. Here is my thought. Once fixed this is ~40k tractor. If I got it for 10k and had to throw another 10k in parts at it (I am fine doing the labor), that would be worth it. Could a replacement transmission be more than...

Can you elaborate? Would love to understand more about what this could be all about? Is there any known issue? Or do you just mean its not worth getting into something this unknown? What if it was super cheap?

Hi all, I have the opportunity to buy a 2019 3650 HST Cab model. It has only 3h on it, and is described with "needing HST". It seems to me that the transmission would have to have been broken from the factory at those hours. Its 3h away, so I wanted to get some of your expert opinion here to...

Hi all, for some reason I have not gotten notification for the last few replies. I very much appreciate all the help. I do have some news. After troubleshooting a bunch of the mentioned possible issues I decided to start pulling the head to observe and possibly get it machined. Luckily i...

Observing the valves i guess might be easiest?

Any idea how to figure out top dead center on all cylinders to do a leakdown test before taring it apart? The issue is that the 4a220 has indirect injection, meaning i cannot remove the injectors and check the cylinder depth that way.

Hi all, After having had the injectors rebuilt, i finally got back to troubleshooting. Today I did a compression test, and the results are weird to say the least. Cyl1: 340psi Cyl2: 40psi Cyl3: 305psi Cyl4: 200psi What's everyone's opinion on these values? Clearly something is up on Cyl2...

Hi All, I am looking for a blade that fits the KL1590 loader on my DK45. Never had one on it since I bought the tractor, but I don't want to do too much work without having a replaceable blade on the bucket. Any help to parts that would fit is appreciated. Thanks.

I agree with the sentiment. And if I hadn't bought it through a large reputable auction company with documentation, i would have stayed clear as well. I honestly think whoever did this wasn't thinking. I mean, why weld horseshoes right at that spot? Pretty dumb. But these machines get a lot of...

Perfect. Just sent you a dm, but I'll send you an email as well, that's easier.

Cracked the injectors just now. Cold and rainy day here, so it was smoking pretty good already. Cracked #1: almost stalled right away Cracked #2: no major change Cracked #3: started stalling Cracked #4: no major change All four lines had diesel squirt out though.

Awesome. Thanks for the offer. I assume I'd best send them all at the same time, just to make sure right? I'll report back later today about the findings when cracking the lines.

I'll try that tonight. My mechanic said may be head gasket (after seeing the video). What's everyone's opinion on that? It's a 2h haul to get it to them, so i def, want to do as much work myself as I can. I couldn't find either injectors online for this model, anyone know where one might...

IF I ever were to buy a potentially stolen machine, it surely would not be that old, and have all the issues this one has :P. Plus I got all the paperwork, keys, etc. So, it would be great if you kept your accusations to yourself. It came from auction and the plate is off (it seems) due to...

The Fuel filter looks good (got a transparent bowl), although I do want to change that asap as well. The radiator has a lot of corrosion in it (hence the desire to flush it), but no bubbling going on either in radiator or reservoir. Just checked the blowby. The oil cap is dancing and i...

I did an oil change and filled up the coolant (planning on flushing that soon). I don't have the tools to do a compression check right now. Any recommendations for an affordable setup?

Oh, and it has about 600h on it.

Hi all, I am new to the forum and Kioti ownership. Bought a DK45 at auction a few weeks ago (not sure of the year, since previous owner took the plate off). Right now I am troubleshooting the tractor before using it too much. It has quite a bit of white smoke which never goes away. It starts...
