50 Hour service on the PX 9020

[Tinstafl]

Well it was delivered the last of March ans I moved into the house in June. So I have one and a half months here though I spend a lot f time up in Winchester working. I put on 52 hours mostly cutting grass and moving logs branches and brush with the grapple. I had them attach a woods land plane when they returned it too. I had the dealer do the 50 hour service and also asked to change all the fluids too. It was over 100 degrees and we lost our power a few times and I just did not want yo fight the filters the first change. It was not bad on the labor but there was a125 pic
Kip delivery charge. Not a huge amount but my flatbed is too small and I can have them picK it up a lot for what a 14k rated trailer costs.

Awesome!

I bet they missed a couple of zerks...or a few...

There should be one on the main shift linkage where it enters the tranny. My DK linkage is slightly different than your PX, but yours probably still has one. Mine is facing straight up and I need to swing a cable keeper out of the way to get at it (2 bolts). You may not have the same keeper position as your loader is plumbed differently (the cable keeper actually holds hydraulic hoses). There's another zerk to grease the rod on which the remote linkages pivot (behind the dust flap and fairly tight to the upper rear diff housing).

My DK is a very covenient to service machine. The engineers and assemblers really took that into account. Everything is very accessible except for that one zerk on the shifter linkage. Keeping that cup greased helps to nullify the shifter rattle which occurs occasionally under heavy work.

The Kioti manual is woefully inadequate in pointing out the not-so-obvious grease points. Woefully. Inadequate.

Good tractor.Crappy owners manual. Apparently the manuals have recently improved. Somewhat.

Thanks I will look for that shifter linkage and see

I also doubt that the dealer applied a thin smear of grease on the sealing surface of the air filter. I would and did with mine as fine dust does get through when you rely only on the gasket. Your filter is different than mine, but it is worth checking, imo.

Mine came with only the outer filter, which is not adequate. I added the inner filter on the recommendation of a very qualified Perkins mechanic. I dont know if an inner filter is available for your set-up but it would be worth confirming.

Will look at that. I am still unpacking my shop and tools but have the basics handy. Just set up the compressor so I should be able to plumb that in today and then have a great place to work on things. Oh did I say I sprung for a HVAC system for my barn...... nice to work in less then the 100 degrees and humid conditions.

Air conditioned shop. Very nice.

Yes, last night I was installing the metal top and vise on my work bench. Over a hundred degrees, the sweat was pouring off my face. AC would have been nice. I think it will be plenty cool in 4-5 more months. :laughing:
