I think ridding your pump of that solenoid slamming is the only way to fully cure the teeth breaking.

Follow up to my second pump failure. Well it was a warm day so I pulled the fuel solenoid out and cut off the rod. Plugged it back in only so the wires don’t dangle into the fan. I installed the fuel shut off cable several years back so now I shut the key off then pull the fuel shut off cable...

Mine jammed in the off position this time. Took it apart again and got lucky again by rotating the gear on the one that broke. Last happened in Dec2018 (only one gear), not sure what the hours were but I don't think it really matters anyhow. its just a design flaw. I bought the fuel shutoff...

looks like it should work for me from this label.

I agree but most UTTF / UDT fluids from what I’ve seen don’t put the weight on the label. For example, what is the weighting of Kubota UDT / UDT2 fluid? This oil says it’s compatible with Kubota UDT fluid which I’m assuming would be fine for my Kioti (other than it may make a cringy face if I...

I have a chance to buy some Gulf UTTF 80W. Are there different s weights to UTTF? I thought it was universal fluid meaning it would work in most brand of tractor. Thanks Steve

Long time coming but i did end up getting the fuel shut off cable ordered from the older version of the tractor and installed the cable to the fuel shut off. Now to stop the tractor i pull the fuel shut off cable all the way and while holding off shut the key off. This seems to eliminate the...

Loader has no down pressure, lots of lift pressure. Float position works. Swapped hoses with curl function and loader lifts in both directions, only drops when lever is put into fast dump position. Have heard someone say that you cant swap to troubleshoot this way as there are different pressure...

Has anyone cobbled up or seen a manual cable fuel shutoff for a CK30. Since repairing my own injector rack I have been contemplating trying to gear something up and disconnect the solenoid because I know it’s just a matter of time before it will happen again with that solenoid slamming the rack...

Anyone have the part number for this item for a 2006 CK 30? Thanks Steve

Well my time was up yesterday my CK 30 injector pump went. Talked to a Kioti mechanic and found a local injector repair shop although I ended repairing using the thread at the top of this forum. The thread is pretty thorough and explained a lot. It took me about 6 1/2 hours from start to finish...

I have a friend that had a Massey Harris Pony restored but he is not quite sure where the decal stating to keep the shields in place is located on the tractor. Any one have a picture of this? Thanks Steve

Barient 21 winch, 2 speed, non self tailing NOW 175.00 | other | City of Halifax | Kijiji What can anyone tell me about a capstan winch. I am investigating capstan winches to build a small 3PH skidder. What would power this Barient winch, is it hydraulic/electric? From what I could dig up, this...

Anyone heard from Rick lately, seems like he's been absent for a while. Steve

Anyone know if you can still buy a Zama carburetor 1CU K16A reasonably priced? Zama website says they are discontinued. I can't figure out what is wrong with mine, it will sit there and idle all day long but bog as soon as you hit the throttle. Cleaned carb several times, soaked it in Seafoam...

Anyone have any experience with this system. looking at the KM 56 model to use the trimmer, blade, tiller and maybe the blower. All input welcome, main concern was whether the 56 has enough power to work the tiller in bark mulch? Thanks Steve

Any one here attempt to build their own doors for one of these machines. I want to try and build a set for my brothers RZR? Looking for any tips or insight. This is the first mock up. Thanks Steve

Number one of six to be built. One for each grandchild. Each one to be customized to their own liking. I expect Thomas, Hello Kitty, not sure about the rest yet. Steve

Well I put the post hole project on hold mainly because I haven't found an auger (cheap, I mean free) that I can use yet as a starting point. So I've started the quick attach for the 3PH. I am building from scratch and it may look similar to some other brand name hitch but I can assure you it is...

Anyone ever build one? What are the ramifications of mounting on the FEL, I would think you could have better maneuverability on the FEL. I have a brand new hydraulic motor at my disposal and have the itchin' to build something I've never built. I already have hydraulics at the FEL as well...

My son-in-law died from a massive heart attack Aug 26 at the age of 33. No warning, no signs, this is not suppose to happen. They had just moved back to Nova Scotia after eight years in the oil patch of Alberta. He just switched companies and had been offered a supervisors job in the coil tubing...

I have a Porter Cable 3500watt generator that I bought new in 2005. I bought it because the wife thought we should have a backup if the power were to go out. Power hasn't been out more than a four hour stretch since then. I try to start and run it under load every month or two for a half hour or...

We are looking for a small tractor or tow motor for pushing 3 ton kiln cars around at our brick plant. They are looking at a Kioti CS2410 but I'm not convinced this is the proper thing for the job. The previous two tractors were a John Deere 318 and recently a small Cub Cadet garden...

Anyone ever replaced your elcheapo spring seat with a suspension seat on a ztr (mine is a Cub Cadet RZT 50)? I'm only young (50's) and I'm getting tired of getting bounced around after two hours of mowing. Pictures/thoughts/ideas, anything would be appreciated. Steve

Anyone know what exactly the preheater controller does? Does it control another relay that actually powers the glow plugs for a predetermined time? Having trouble with this circuit, I have no glow plugs at the moment (starting with my heatgun shoved in the air intake). I've tapped (aggressively)...

I took my deck off my RTZ and brought it home for bearing replacement in the mower spindles. I noticed one getting noisy last spring. They are standard bearings 6204LLU's. I changed them all as they were very easy coming out, actually a couple were too easy, so I loctited them around the outside...

pretty as the last few in my area. We had an exceptionally long growing season in not having any frosts until late september and the colors seem to reflect that. I'm no expert but doesn't frost have something to do with the leaves turning at some point? The first four are from this year (today...

I'm in the process of building a dump trailer and I'm not convinced a three inch cylinder will dump what I have built. Is there a calculation that I can use to figure out the starting force I will need at the bottom end? If so, I can post a few dimensions and pictures to help figure it out. Any...

Anyone ever work on the electronics on one of these? It's at least 20 or 25 years old. Steve

This will probably hit some nerves the wrong way but how does this appear to you? I know that in Nova Scotia prices are much higher than others in some instances, but this jumped out at me if you know what I mean. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have a JD as much as the next guy but. Sorry if...

call them. I think they are or were an endangered species up here, you are not suppose to pick them. When I first built twenty years ago there were none that I seen but they gradually started to show up here and there, now there are clumps of them around the property where I have cleared the...

For anyone interested, here's a couple pics of my wooden toolbox I built. Seat is all the way back and it over hangs at the back by 3/4". Steve

I was always jealous of these and I decided to try and add it too my tractor, so here is a picture while the paint is drying and I'll post one in a day or so of it attached. They are usually on the larger tractors but not the compacts for the most part. Have fun with it Steve

I want to ask this again as a follow up on my treadle pedal sticking. It only does it for the first 10 to 15 mins of operation forward or reverse. I know some others have chimed in about it as well and would probaly be curious as to an outcome. As a refresher, the pedal once pushed will...

Anyone have any closeup pictures of how your angling plow cylinders are attached whether it be a modified truck plow or an original. I'm trying to modify the cylinder placement and what length or stroke I can fit in my modified plow. I'm trying to keep it as close to the QA as possible. I would...

The last dozen or so times I got my CK30 out the HST will stick at the speed you are going and I have to return it to neutral with my foot every time for about five or ten minutes. I have lubed this to death especially where the shaft enters to transmission housing and it still sticks for the...

Just a thought to elaborate on, would it be any advantage to have an attachment forum where everyone could post pictures of their attachments whether home made or bought and tag your name to it so that it could be easily referenced to your name? Have a sub forum for the most popular items such...

Anyone have any pics of these? I want to try and build one for various reasons. One reason is to put my front blade on the rear for snow plowing, another is to be able to use my forks, grapple or bucket on the rear while using another attachment on the front. ATI has a picture of one on their...

I borrowed a load cell from work today (vacation day, 29 degrees Celsius) and did a little experimenting. First I did the pull test (tough little Black spruce) connected to the draw bar, as level a pull as possible, rpm's at 2000, low range, no jerking, just ease in as slow as it would go and...

I finally got another puppy for company for Josie and me of course. I try and remember all the good times, not the dreadful endings however they occur. Enjoy Mya & Josie (and her frog friend) Steve

I have heard from a couple of dealers here in Nova Scotia that Honda as of January 1, 2008 is only selling there products through one dealer. A Honda dealer, cars, trucks, bikes, quads, tillers, lawn mowers, everything Honda makes will be sold at only Honda dealerships. Anyone else hear or see...

I pulled the dipstick on my tranny this morning and found that there was no fluid on the stick. Surprised the heck out of me. Stuck it back in just to be sure and it came out showing up to the top mark. Only thing I can surmise is that as the fluid cooled from yesterday it sucked the fluid out...

For anyone interested in why I purchased this model. I decided last year that I had enough of the bouncing around and slow going of my old Yard Pro 14(42", 14HP Kohler), besides it is 17 years old and things are starting to wear out at inopportune times to my liking. It mowed my 1 acre plus home...

This has probably made the rounds before but I haven't seen it yet so I thought I'd pass it on. Enjoy, Steve

Nova Scotia News - TheChronicleHerald.ca My daughter worked with this young man for couple of years. Makes me cringe to think of the trauma everyone including him must have/are going through. Steve

I'm not quite done yet, but here are a couple of shots of how I adapted an old plow to my QA. I think I'm going to add the cylinder as shown. The plow didn't have cylinders on it when I bought it. I had a couple of old cylinders kicking around so I thought I'd use one of them, it's a bit of...

Can someone point me to the thread/comments a while back about tightening the throttle lever, mines starting to ease its way off quite often now. Thanks Steve

Was getting ready for the winter months while it is still pleasant out and decided to take a fews shots of my implements I've purchased or built. Front Blade I built and added to several times throughout the years and just converted to my QD on this tractor. Side wing I built several years ago...

should I use synthetic oil in the engine as well as the HST? 50hrs, 100hrs...? Thanks Steve

I think I have it narrowed down between a Toro SL500 and the Cub LT1050 as my next mower. Are these essentially the same tractor as I think Mtd owns and makes both don't they? They are both almost the same price as well. Any input, positive or negative on either of these? I've steered away from...

that is found just under the plastic shroud directly above the brake pedals. It has green wires and one is 12V. Does anyone know what it is for? I was wanting to use it for my diverter solenoid. Steve

Can any one tell me the closest place to the front of the tractor that I can find the wire that is fused by the customer service fuse? Thanks Steve

I'm in the market for a new ride on. I mow about two and a half acres once a week (at my cottage) and would like some opinions on a couple of things. First, engines, are the best engines the Kawasaki's, Kohler commands, Honda's (haven't seen any in a ride on yet)? Second, are these the most fuel...

Bend the tie rod on my new CK30. Was there a new modified version on the latest CK25/30's for the tie rod placement or tie rod itself?. The one I have was a leftover 2006, couldn't pass up on trading in the old CK20 and moving up. Steve

Do any of you out there have any pictures of the newest version of the KL loaders torque tube setup? I'm wondering what they've done to improve it if anything. Have they passed the tube through the loader arms as probably should have been done originally in my opinion. I'm not sure I want to put...

I know some of you have probably seen this site already but I just stumbled acrossed it and would like to share it with anyone interested. Not sure how accurate it is, but it gives a brief history of just about all brands. Interesting browsing anyhow. TractorData.com Steve

Built a 3PH plate to attach my forks or counterweight. Don't have a picture of the forks just yet but they are a set I got from work of an old forklift. They are 4' long and good for 8000lbs, so I don't think i'll break or bend them. The weight, I built a form and got an old piece of six inch...

Finally getting around to post some pictures of my diverter I installed on my CK20. 1st pic. Diverter and relay are mounted under left side floor board between FEL valve and rear fender. 2nd pic. Side view of tractor, tried to keep things as hidden as possible. 3rd pic. This is the opposite...

Does anyone know a source for caps and plugs for Pioneer quick connect couplers for 1/4" and 3/8" size. I've used the PVC rubber ones and they are brutal to get off in the winter time, I've actually had to dig one out once as the stringer broke off from being so brittle in the cold. I got some...

My joystick is slowing becoming harder and harder to get out of the float position. It now comes out with a pop. Is there something I can do to help this situation or am I falling prey to the teflon knob coming apart in my valve as well. If there is some way to prevent this from getting worse...

Just got back from the vets office, had to let go of my 13 1/2 year old lab/something mix. She's been living with a tumor that has consumed one lung for the past two years and it finally spread to her liver. She was gone in about thirty seconds. I hope that statement doesn't offend anyone, but...

I'm installing a diverter valve and would like to know which function would be best to tap into, the curl or the lift circuit. I have a Kioti CK20 and have already bought the diverter and a bunch of fittings. I have it all mapped out where I'm going to put the diverter and the outlets it will...

Finally remembered to take the camera with me while taking the dogs swimming behind my house. Just a few shots if anyone's interested. First one is Josie leaping in. Steve

To carry on from what I started in Highbeam's post about his loader question. My loader does flex and I was curious as too how much any other loaders flex as a comparison, not to bash, just for my own interest and anyone else that is interested. I noticed this on my loader before but it was...

I'm going to try and build a grapple from scrap that is lying around home and work. This is the start of it. Not too much engineering in this, probably most of it will be fixing and strengthening as I break or bend it. Trying to keep it as light as possible. Steve

On a CK20, the diverter block located just behind the righthand FEL column, the two ports that feed out and back to the BH if used, if I were to use this for something else, would there be a problem if there were a flow restriction to this when diverted? For example I wanted to used this flow...

I'm looking for a source for a small 12volt 6 way selector valve, max 8gpm. Any suggestions? Princess Auto in Canada has one but it is 16gpm and is physically to big to mount where I want to put it. Thanks in advance Steve Princess Auto

Finally got to some of the projects with the ten days off. First was my aerator, not quite finished just have to put some wheels on for transporting around.

Finally bought some teeth to build a toothbar. What angle should I put on the leading edge of the flat bar that the teeth are to be welded to? I was thinking around a thirty degree bevel. Would it be of any benefit to bevel the back edge as well? Thanks in advance Steve

CK20 wouldn\'t start For anyone interested. I was cutting up some trees that blew over and was hauling them away with the tractor, I was on and off a few times, I was all done and standing talking to my neighbour who was helping, when I went to leave, the tractor just rolled over and over and...

before art class or so they thought. Lindsey was my niece, this is the first time I could actually post something without breaking up. Please try and reinforce the point to your kids about responsibility when driving ATV's or any offroad vehicles. Article Steve

Anyone have any of these fixtures by Lights of America? If so, what do you think of them. Thanks Steve

Does anyone out there have a CK30 with the shuttle tranny? I'm wondering where the shift levers (shuttle, gear and range) are located? Have any pics? I'm seriously considering trading up from my CK20. Brochures state that it has a live PTO, which is the same as the HST version i'm guessing? HST...

New seat on CK20\'s Is there a part number out for the replacement seat on the new Ck20's? I want to see what one would set me back. Are they a significant improvement over the old type? Thanks Steve

Anyone heard from Henro lately? I can't believe there would be no comunication from Alaska or did he not make it there yet? Just concerned a little. Steve

Here's something else I found a good use for in my stash of junk (I me parts). Steve

I asked my buddy at work the other day if he could build me a trenching bucket for my backhoe this Saturday at work and I would pay him. Well this is what he built yesterday and today on company time with the permission of the boss (well sort of). It just happened that they were in a little lull...

I noticed the other day that on my front R1 tires the lugs are starting to wrinkle. It looks to me that they were under inflated, but they are not as I have 26psi in them. I got looking for the max. psi rating on the tire and noticed that it was 28psi with a max. load rating of 590lbs. If this...

Are there any other spare ports that can be used in a loader valve? This is a picture of my loader valve on my CK20, are these extra ports or just accessibility areas of the valve? Steve

Anyone got any pictures of snow banks or plowing pictures with their tractors or pictures in general? I love to see what others have done plowing and how much snow you've gotten. I never get any of myself plowing as the better half thinks i'm crazy. Steve

Has anyone mixed there tires, R4's on front and R1's on the rear. I have R1's all the way around. I went to the dealers a while ago and measured, the R4's and the R1's are from what I can tell the exact same diameter with respect to each other front and back so the ratio shouldn't be a problem...

Got to try these out yesterday, I miscalculated on the length. When I curl them down to level position I can't see the fork tips (doh). They stayed on though. Happy Holidays Steve

Don, I don't know how to post pictures with a PM so I'll post here. There are a couple different angles to view. Plates on the side are for inserting uprights when I'm hauling brush away. Only thing I had to buy was cylinder and hoses, scavenged every thing else. Call me a junk collector but...

I built this four or five years ago after I had my old B7200 in the ditch three times trying to get the snow back from the edge of the driveway. Ive just adapted it to my new tractor. It never cost me a cent, I scrounged all the parts and pieces from old junk at work. Steve

These are the rear remoteson the CK20 for anyone wanting a closer look.

I live in Nova Scotia, where can I get the teeth to build a toothbar? I can build it myself, I would just like to find a tooth source in Canada if possible, if not will Markam or someone like that sell just the teeth? Rather not cross border if possible, too many headaches, customs charges...

Has anyone out there get the rear remotes option on there CK tractor? I've been waiting three months now and can't wait any longer. Dealer says they can't source anyone else to provide this option, so their stuck with the previous provider until. I need to gear something up for rear remotes for...

A challenge for you CK20 owner's. How many grease fittngs are there on this tractor, FEL and on the 2365 BH? Not sure if HST and gear are different, but I have the geared version. Thanks Steve

Just dug out two stumps, had to come in for dinner. Can't believe I went this long without one! It's been a good week, got the backhoe, got a new computer, high speed cable internet and daughter got a new digital camera. Gotta go back out. Will post shots when I figure out how to use the camera...

Coming home from my cottage today I stopped at a Kubota/Massey dealer and there were about 20 - 30 of these tractors sitting there on trailers and in the storage area. Models ranging from the *X75 up to *X200. They looked similar to last years New Holland's on the front end. I found on the net...

I was wondering if you load the tires with a hoe on the back, will this be a drastic problem or will you just have to stay out of the soft spots (no lawn work for my tractor). Reason #1 being that most of the time (approx 80% or more) the hoe will not be on the tractor. Reason #2 being that I...

A friend of mine has an older Kubota (B8200) and is going to upgrade in the next few months. He was casually talking to a dealer about the 24HP range. He has the impression that Kubota has a gear tractor in this range, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't all the B series HST only with the...

What are the differences between these two backhoes (KB2365 & KB1440) other than the KB1440 has self contained hydraulics? Is there a substantial difference in price, operating speed and digging force? I haven't been able to get on the Kioti website since last Thursday to check these out. Is the...

Had the CK20HST out for a drive today (finally took my head out of the sand by looking at something other than the so called big three). Wow, didn't even consider these as a comparison til today. Previously had TC24DA for a test drive, very nice as well til price comparison to Kioti. In all...

I'm interested in the NH TC24DA, is the case tractor an equivalent? The same motor, frame, loader,etc...? Steve

Hope I don't over stay my welcome with too many questions. Do you have to come to a complete stop before changing ranges on a Hydrostatic. Still haven't gone out to try a hydro yet as I'm not ready to buy for a while yet. I know if you guys will put up with me I'll remember your opinions and...

I'm considering (going to) getting a new tractor with HST but am still leery of some of the scenarios that pop into my head, the latest being, if your foot slips off the hydro pedal will the tractor lurch to a complete stop if your in low range. I would assume in high range the tractor weight...

I was wondering what the drawbar weight restrictions would be on any given tractor as I have never seen this listed for any tractor. I mean the fixed drawbar that slides in and out of the pocket that you can put a trailer ball on. I have broken mine off twice now, I know your probably wondering...
