Thanks for the reply. I don't use the auto mode. I just am not a fan of the actuator switch's placement due to the frequent inadvertent shutoff. I guess I could relocate it lower on the fender. but I will probably fabricate a hood to prevent hitting it with my elbow.

That makes sense, thanks, the two are on separate lines. One annoying thing about the PTO operation is the secondary PTO switch on the fender. There is a 3 position switch on the dash, "auto", "off" and "manual", and a push button on the right fender which must also be pressed in. The push...

The manual is of little help regarding PTO operation. The PTO is single speed. RJCorazza, thanks. The tach dial has an arrow pointing to 2500 rpm and I initially thought that was the correct point for PTO operation, but the other note got me doubting that. Do you have any notion what...

My tachometer has a note saying "PTO-1-540rpm x 1000 rpm." Does this mean that when the engine rpms are 1000 the PTO shaft is turning 540 rpm? I don't want to overspeed my brush hog (which is an obscure, apparently obsolete model with no manual or online info available) but although it does turn...

Circling back- turns out the previous owner had replaced the glow plugs with incompatible ones. I didn't want to pay the dealer's inflated price, but the ones I got off Ebay for under $10 work fine and fixed the problem.

An intermittent starter issue has become permanent. Turn on the ignition, get a loud click at the solenoid. 12.6v at the battery and at the positive solenoid terminal at rest. Starter key turned all the way on, 12 v at the solenoid, 0 at the starter. Jump between the positive solenoid terminal...

I removed the battery ground cable, cleaned up its ends and the frame attachment point and re-attached it with dielectric grease, also polished the positive clamp and battery posts. The ground cable registered almost no resistance and on retesting between the battery terminals I got 12.5 volts...

I have had this 2001 tractor for a month. I was warned it was cold blooded. I have not yet failed to start it but it takes an ungodly amount of cranking. It does have an inline coolant heater which helps on cold days. I have read through a number of similar threads and done some checking with a...

I have decided to modify the SSQA adapter so that the front attachment plates curl back 24* from vertical. Combined with the bucket shape that will put the bucket bottom at 32* from level and when I get pallet forks they will curl back to 24* from level. The bucket dump angle at full height will...

Yes, I am asking for an optimal angle given the constraints of this loader. I find it hard to believe that the original curl angle was only 10 degrees between level and the bucket bottom but perhaps that was the case. I am guessing that the guy who put the skid steer QA plate on the bucket did...

Jim, it is in fact a KL1590. It's not clear to me whether the repair kit changed the rollback angle or just improved the rollback strength with improved geometry. It's academic in any case. Short of getting a new loader, given the existing angles I have can you suggest an optimal bucket...

Jim, it is a 1590. Xfaxman, thank you for the links. I didn't do my homework with this loader and it seems to have real limitations but it's mine and I have to figure out how to make it work as best as possible. As configured, when fully rolled back the bottom of the bucket is 10-11* above...

As Xfaxman points out, this loader maintains the bucket angle relative to level regardless of the height above ground. I already dumped the bolt-on forks out of the fully curled bucket while moving around on uneven ground, so I am pretty sure that the bucket needs to tilt back more. The question...

I just bought a Kioti DK45 with a self-levelling 1590 loader and Skid Steer coupler. This is my first tractor/loader so I am unfamiliar with what is normal. The previous owner added the coupler and welded an adapter plate directly to the back of the bucket. The bottom of the bucket curls back...
