Michigan Iron;
Your call on where and what the screw head was all about was nothing short of brilliant. You nailed it for me. I went to the exact location you described and was able to see the linkage you had described. Needing a bit better view, I elected to remove the suspension seat and a steel inspection cover beneath the seat deck to get up close and personal. There it was, a hole with half a bolt barely connecting hydraulic linkage for the three point lift up/down control absent the barrel or Allen socket head screw or small bolt. W/o the entire bolt that linkage was destined to work itself out and I could have had problems with the three point not being able to pick up or set down rear blower.
I'm sure glad I posted this thing rather than just disregard it like I might otherwise do. I'm even happier you took the time to solve this mytery for me. I never would have located that thing in that obscure of a place. With a replacement bolt, We have been able to eliminate a future problem.
Kioti has some fine dealers out there and we are lucky to have you guys here on TBN.
According to my parts book that bolt is #T2350-39251. I'll be calling tomorrow to see if you can order one for me. Thanks a million and great job MichiganIron.
