Backhoe DK 35 Backhoe removal

[Kraut]

What size are these pins, diameter 3/4". Orare they metric around 20mm diameter. Help

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( and if you happen to relieve the pressure (as KiotiJohn pointed out, just move the joysticks around prior to removing the hoses), you'll need channel locks to relieve the pressure on the valves (DO NOT look into the valve as you release the pressure.. and be ready to have a small hydo fluid hand wash). )</font>
Did you mean to say, "If you happen NOT to relieve the pressure...?

Am about to do this in a few minutes. I'm having one of those "moments". Though I don't see you guys mention it, and the bh manual does not mention it, it seems my dealer said something about a knob to turn after you remove the bh. Or the FEL won't work. Am I crazy? I remember the know thing because the dealer said it was a thing to turn with your wrench and he made a knob to go on it for me.

Ya on the CK30's and CK25's there is a screw knob that you HAVE to turn when you take the BH off. If you don't then the tractor will keep trying to push fluid to the outlets and will cause alot of pressure and possible damage to the pumps. If you don't turn the knob you know when you start it up from the sound the tractor would make, kinda like if you have aux hydraulics on a tractor and you start your tractor with the rear remote in the detent position. From Kioti there is no knob on this valve, we machined one to make it easier to turn.

I'm unhooked. I decided to take a break and come see if I got an answer yet. Low and behold. Hi Jon! You's muh dealer that put that knob on. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

What's that other little black knob right next to it?

I also notice the telescopic stablizer is unhooked and pushed out of the way. Will I have to do that next time I hook up the bh?

As an aid for the rest of us memory challenged, how about a pic of where this "knob" is located?
Thanx

I forgot to mention that, sorry. I have a different setup on my CK20, just a small lever on top of the valve that must be moved from 6:00 position to 3:00 when hooking up the BH. I have to move it back to 6 after disconnecting, or the tractor sounds as though it can hardly run, and the loader won't move.
I'm glad Jon posted in an answer, as I have been unable to get into the forum for about 24 hours.

On my DK35 I have a lever. The lever is marked A/neutral/B. I understand the lever engages the hydaulic pump which allows the BH to operate. What is the difference between the A and B positions? Secondly, if I were going to drive my tractor a distance of 2 miles in high gear, should the pump lever be in neutral?

Other little black knob???.... hrmm... thinking.... I don't remember another knob being under there... Are you talking about the black knob on the operator’s platform? That would be the speed control knob for the 3 pt, but that knob is right below the operator’s seat.

It helps to have the 3pt out of the way when hooking up the BH, that is probably why the 3pt stabilizers were pushed to the side.

The 2 ports on the backside of your DK35 are labeled “A” and one is “B”. If you put the control lever that is next to the seat in the B position, then pressure goes though the B port on the backside of the tractor and the return is though the A port. And it is just the opposite if the lever is in the other position.

It doesn't have to be, the fluid will still run in a complete loop while driving.
