I tried michigan iron, but couldn't figure out how to register to search there website (only allowed you to sign In, but not register). I can keep searching some old threads here too.

I have tried the MIE site several times and have never found a single factory part I was looking for, as the search pages displayed did not match what I entered in the search box. So now I just build up a list, call my dealer and have them ship whatever I may need. More expensive this way but I get the right part every time, which is more important to me. And I already have those relays on my list, along with an ignition switch and a few other handy items

Odd. I go to this page: www.michironandequip.com/pages/OemParts
and walk down the "Find Parts by Model" menus. There is no need to log into anything.

I have found everything I wanted on the MIE site BUT it's not always easy or obvious where to look (that's how Kioti arranged the data). For example, the fuel filter is under: Tractors/DK45/DK45S Tractor/CHASSIS/Oil Filter Group. So some guesswork and trial-and-error is involved. I wish I still had a local dealer but I don't. The MIE site (as well as several others) are available 24-7, making them very convenient for a night owl.

Here is an example. Say I want a starter switch for my DK45HSE. And I answer the search questions until I get down to electrical and do not break it down any farther as I have no idea what group something is in. If I know the terminology of the database and it is "switch, starter" (or starting), it comes up pretty close with four returns. Now I am stuck because I do not know which of the four items might be correct. This response is pretty close but nothing I can order a part from, which is my goal.

Although if I know they are in group 1, I can easily scroll through Group 1 and find it is item 8 and there are two parts for item 8. It is nice they highlight/list the current part number, which of course my static parts manual is behind on.

However, lets say one does not have a parts manual to look at beforehand and now does the same entries as before and gets down to "Electrical" and stops there as one has no clue which option group to select to further narrow down the search criteria and one does not know the exact nomenclature of the part. So I am in "electrical" and search for, say- "starter switch", and it comes back with a list of 20 items, of which half are starter switch or similar. So I can't order a part from this either. And ordering a part is my goal.

I think MIE has done a great job trying to automate this parts list and I give them an "A" for spending their time and money to do so. Or to spend the money with Kioti to purchase an online version and allow us to use it for free. So my point is using the MIE online parts manual is not as simple as typing in a part for a specific model tractor and having it regurgitate a singular response from the parts manual. I mean, 10 different "starter switch" hits is a bit much for me. Since I have a parts manual, I can relatively easily find what I need down to a certain parts group and then go to the MIE site. But I had no success prior to having the parts manual in my possession as I had no clue how to drive the search engine and my eyes got crossed trying to go through all of the groups. I just found it easier to call MIE or my dealer for the part. And as a bonus, my dealer has the serial number of my tractor and has used that in the past to define specifically which part out of several was the correct one.

I do support folks who support me and I have spent some quality dollars at the MIE web site. It is the best Kioti site I have discovered. I just find it easier to pick up the phone and call either MIE or my dealer and have the part(s) sent. So either I am supporting MIE who has done more than any other firm to support the Kioti owners online or I support my dealer who has provided me with no less than 100% support. Win-win for myself and the dealers.

I can understand people having trouble finding parts. Some of us have years of experience finding parts in menu's and it is still difficult at times.

Koua, speaking of looking parts up, when I opened your link to the solenoid. It didn't show any part or number. Do you still have the part number?

Before you purchase, look at your original, and make sure that the pinouts are the same. I just looked them up, I did not cross reference with real world. I believe they are correct, but I did not look at the originals. They are 30 amp relays I know that much.
