I think Kioti has been outstanding on backing up their products, if at times a little slow.
I hope the dealer can reinstall with the fitting turned a little more so that it doesn't hit the BH frame when you lift the stabilizers. John

Good news....IT"S FIXED!!!!! My dealer came out this AM and installed a new cylinder and new hose. It does seem a slightly different angle than the one that broke. I do think I will craft a sort of bumper. My dealer thought that was a great idea. I'm thinking a length of rubber hose attached to the frame will be sufficient. I will post a pic when I do it. My challenge is I expect to have the tractor packed a container Friday and on it's way to Hawaii next week.
I did get a couple hours of seat time attempting to reclaim my neighbor's old driveway he wants to revert to lawn. Basically used the FEL to get it loosened up and releveled, plus removed some pavement.
Tomorrow, I will help another neighbor redo a drainage area in her back yard. In the afternoon, a good hosing/powerwash to remove the GA clay.
My dealer sent their senior mechanic. Very interesting fella, more than 5 years at dealership. I learned that he does the assembly of every tractor they sell, did 2 DK 35's Tues. I asked him about experience with Kioti repairs. Basically, he said, the only problem is with owners who treat them like they bought a bulldozer - otherwise very few repairs.
This dealer also handles Massey Ferguson, McCormick, Gehl and some others.
I am very happy with my choice - now if only I could get the wife to taken pictures of us in action /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

David, I'm happy to hear it's done. Will you really need the extra protection on that side, or is it just a precaution? If the valve is turned a little, it shouldn't hit like before right?
Don't forget that you have to provide a space on a floor somewhere when I come to Hawaii for the training session! John
